Calculates Sunday names according to the Revised Common Lectionary..
npm install lectionary
The Revised Common Lectionary provides a three year cycle of Scripture
readings for Christian churches that use it. This module does not provide the
actual scripture readings, but it calculates the names and year of the Sundays
and other days celebrated in the lectionary.
This provides the calculation of the basic Lectionary services accepted by
almost all of the churches that use the RCL. There are some non-Sunday days
that are extensions of the basic dates that are not currently calculated.
`` js`
var lectionary = require('lectionary');
var lectionaryDates = lectionary(2014, 3);
console.dir(lectionaryDates);
