Symeon the God-Receiver and Anna the Prophetesse (3 February—the day after the Meeting of the Lord) Synaxis of the Archangel Gabriel (26 March—the day after the Annunciation) If the Annunciation falls during Holy Week the Synaxis is omitted. Other Great Feasts that have Afterfeasts (although no Forefeasts) are: The Nativity of the Forerunner (June 24) The Beheading of the Forerunner (August 29) The Feast of the Holy Apostles, Peter and Paul (June 29). Each of these three has only 1 day of Afterfeast, and no Apodosis. These are not counted among the Twelve Great Feasts (i.e., Great Feasts of the Lord or Theotokos). The Feast of the Procession of the Cross (August 1), though it is not counted as a Great Feast, has one day of Forefeast, and no Afterfeast.
