It used to a be principal Feast day on the Calendar -- along with All Saints,
Christmas, Easter, Ascension and WhitSunday.
Back in high school (and college) calling the fall semester or term the
"Michaelmas term" always made for a few (odd and sometimes pesky) friendships
while leaving others befuddled.
It also means "Christ the Fair Glory" from the hymnal -- a favorite hymn of
mine. (#282, H82).
Cheers,
Jim
