Feria

In the liturgy of the Catholic Church, a feria is a day of the week other than Sunday.^[1]

In more recent official liturgical texts in English, the term weekday is used instead of feria.^[2]

If the feast day of a saint falls on such a day, the liturgy celebrated may be that of the saint, not that of the feria (the weekday liturgy). Accordingly, in actual liturgical practice a feria or ferial day is "a weekday on which no special ecclesiastical feast is to be celebrated".^[3]^[4]
