When is the Liturgy of St. James Celebrated?

[Ignatius]

I understand that the Liturgy of St. James is the oldest continuously practiced Divine Liturgy and am interested in attending a celebration of it (preferably in English). When is the Liturgy of St. James celebrated in the various Sui Juris Catholic Churches?

It’s not permitted in the Ruthenian church in the US; only the liturgies of Sts Basil and John.

It’s generally celebrated on 23 October (St. James’s Day) or the Sunday afterwards.

It can be celebrated on the Sunday after Nativity.

I’ve heard of some Melkite monasteries that use it on the Saturdays in Great Lent (except for Lazarus Saturday).

There’s no reason, other than custom, why it cannot be celebrated more frequently. It would be ideal for new missions, as nothing changes but the readings.

I think the Anaphora of Addai and Mari is older then that of St. James as far as oldest continuously practiced Divine Liturgies go.

Personally though, I would be interested in seeing a wider use of it within those churches of the Byzantine tradition. It is the main anaphora within the Syriac Catholic Church I believe.
