That’s a pretty common perception, but I believe it is a misunderstanding.

Canon Law is pretty clear that the day is 24 hours from midnight to midnight unless explicitly stated otherwise.

It is also clear when it states that the obligation to assist at Mass is fulfilled by attending on the holyday itself or the evening of the previous day. (If the day began at 6pm, the evening of the previous day would need be 2 days before the date, no?) The canon does not distinguish among Masses which may be celebrated to fulfill an obligation.

However:

The celebrations of solemn feasts do begin on the evening of the previous day. The selection of prayers and readings indicates what feast is being celebrated. But if there’s no obligation to assist at Mass, such a vigil or anticipated celebration cannot be said to “count” for anything.

  1. It is not a misconception. It is the only way to explain the three days of Jesus being in the tomb.
2)You’re contradicting yourself.

I think tfm was referring to your assertions as applied to Sunday mass obligations. You appear to be describing liturgical tradition, but Canon Law (specifically 1248) does not fully agree with you. Can you cite a source for your claims?

If you look at the foot notes of #1248, it says that aplying the norm from the Calendarium Romanum (n. 3; Kacz. 1274) "The Sunday Celebration and of the Solemn feasts start in the afternoon of the preceding day.

Is that where you thought I was contradicting myself? I claim I did not, and neither are you contradicting me.

NB: “The Sunday Celebration…” starts in the evening* of the preceding day – *Not: *“The day” starts in the evening…

(* Everything I know about solemn celebrations refers to “evening”, not “afternoon”, so I prefer to continue to do so)

Tee,
Code: 
Since I'm the one at fault for changing the topic from "Blue at Advent" to "Discussion of Vigil" I've opened up another thread.  I'd love for you to comment there.  Thanks.

**And now back to the topic:

Does your Church use Blue for Advent?

**
 
Three purples and one ROSE ( never say “pink” infront of father:D )
 
Our pastor uses two tones of purple one more toward red and the other toward blue, where the central stripe in the vestment is the purple toward red. The only times that I saw him wearing blue (sky blue) was for the Our Lady of Guadalupe (and other Marian feasts outside Advent).
 
Color has nothing to do with it… As long as you light them up it doesnt matter if its purple or white or any other
