In the tridentine rite the Sundays after Christmas are the Sunday within the Octave of the Nativity (Domenica infra Octavam Nativitatis) and, when it falls within the twelve day season, the Holy Name of Jesus (Festum Sanctissimi Nominis Jesu). The 1970 Vatican II Council moved the Holy Family to the first Sunday (from Sunday following Epiphany) and moved Holy Name to Jan. 3, leaving room for a Second Sunday after Christmas.
Protestant kalendars name these Christmas I and Christmas II (not to be confused with the first and second Masses of Christmas), but the propers are in the old order: .
| Proper | Dom. infra Octavam (Liber usualis) (Christmas II) |
Holy Family (Gregorian Missal 1990) | Sanc. Nominis Jesu (LU) | Second Sunday (Christmas I) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Introit: | Dum medium silentium | |||
| Gradual: | Speciosus forma | |||
| Alleluia verse: | Dominus regnavit | |||
| Offertory: | Deus firmavit | |||
| Communion: | Tolle puerum |
