NAME

    Date::Lectionary - Readings for the Christian Lectionary

VERSION

    Version 1.20200203

SYNOPSIS

        use Time::Piece;

        use Date::Lectionary;

        my $epiphany = Date::Lectionary->new('date'=>Time::Piece->strptime("2017-01-06", "%Y-%m-%d"));

        say $epiphany->day->name; #String representation of the name of the day in the liturgical calendar; e.g. 'The Epiphany'

        say $epiphany->year->name; #String representation of the name of the liturgical year; e.g. 'A'

        say ${$epiphany->readings}[0] #String representation of the first reading for the day.

DESCRIPTION

    Date::Lectionary takes a Time::Piece date and returns the liturgical day

    and associated readings for the day.

  ATTRIBUTES

   date

    The Time::Piece object date given at object construction.

   lectionary

    An optional attribute given at object creation time. Valid values are

    'acna' for the Anglican Church of North America lectionary and 'rcl' for

    the Revised Common Lectionary with complementary readings in ordinary

    time. This attribute defaults to 'acna' if no value is given.

   day

    A Date::Lectionary::Day object containing attributes related to the

    liturgical day.

    "type": Stores the type of liturgical day. 'fixedFeast' is returned for

    non-moveable feast days such as Christmas Day. 'moveableFeast' is

    returned for moveable feast days. Moveable feasts move to a Monday when

    they occure on a Sunday. 'Sunday' is returned for non-fixed feast

    Sundays of the liturgical year. 'noLect' is returned for days with no

    feast day or Sunday readings.

    "name": The name of the day in the lectionary. For noLect days a String

    representation of the day is returned as the name.

    "alt": The alternative name --- if one is given --- of the day in the

    lectionary. If there is no alternative name for the day, then the empty

    string will be returned.

    "multiLect": Returns 'yes' if the day has multiple services with

    readings associated with it. (E.g. Christmas Day, Easter, etc.) Returns

    'no' if the day is a normal lectioanry day with only one service and one

    set of readings.

   year

    A Date::Lectionary::Year object containing attributes related to the

    liturgical year the date given at object construction resides in.

    "name": Returns 'A', 'B', or 'C' depending on the liturgical year the

    date given at object construction resides in.

   readings

    Return an ArrayRef of the String representation of the day's readings if

    there are any. Readings in the ArrayRef are ordered in the array

    according to the order the readings are given in the lectionary. If

    mutliple readings exist for the day, an ArrayRef of HashRefs will be

    given.

      my $singleReading = Date::Lectionary->new(

          'date'       => Time::Piece->strptime( "2016-11-13", "%Y-%m-%d" ),

          'lectionary' => 'acna'

      );

      say ${ $testReading->readings }[1]; #Will print 'Ps 98', the second reading for the Sunday closest to November 16 in the default ACNA lectionary for year C.

      say $testReading->day->multiLect; #Will print 'no' because this day does not have multiple services in the lectionary.

      my $multiReading = Date::Lectionary->new(

          'date'       => Time::Piece->strptime( "2016-12-25", "%Y-%m-%d" ),

          'lectionary' => 'rcl'

      );

      say $multiReading->day->multiLect; #Will print 'yes' because this day does have multiple services in the lectionary.

      say ${ $multiReading->readings }[0]{name}; #Will print 'Christmas, Proper I', the first services of Christmas Day in the RCL

      say ${ $multiReading->readings }[1]{readings}[0]; #Will print 'Isaiah 62:6-12', the first reading of the second service 'Christmas, Proper II' on Christmas Day in the RCL.
