Afterlife of the 2 Enoch Calendar: Major Christian Feasts on the Sixth Day

Some major Christian feasts occur on the sixth days of different months, eg. 6 January (Baptism, formerly Nativity as well) and 6 August (Transfiguration). This is due to a Jewish-Christian tradition whose calendar is best preserved in 2 Enoch.

The earliest witness of the Transfiguration on 6 August is provided by the Georgian rite where the whole structure of the archaic festal micro-cycle is also preserved (in liturgical mss) as accompanying feasts of Melchizedek and Aaron.

PS This study is to be continued. It must cover, at least, two cults whose roots are in Ephesus, those of John the Theologian and St Irene.
