Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Here, she is listed on her traditional day, July 22. Her name is in black, but the rubric in red, "Dx6," on the right margin indicates that her feast was a “duplex day,” with 6 readings.
Mary Magdalene’s feast appears in the mid-thirteenth century calendar of the abbey’s breviary with a more specific indication of a duplex feast day.
In the fifteenth-century calendars, Mary Magdalene's name appears in red to signify the importance of her feast day. It still is a feast day, but now the office includes twelve readings.
