What does FERIA mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
In the Christian liturgical calendar, an ordinary weekday that is not a Sunday or a fixed feast day.
A feria is a plain weekday in the Church calendar, set apart from Sundays and from the feast days that honour a saint or a particular event, and it usually carries a simpler form of the daily liturgy. The word comes from the Latin for a day of rest or a holiday, though in this specific church sense a feria is actually the least festive kind of day rather than a holiday in the everyday meaning. Clergy and those who follow the daily office still use the word to describe which set of prayers applies on a given date.
