Feria

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

For other uses, see Feria (disambiguation).

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

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".
