Help with Danish feast days

I am trying to figure out what I believe are abbreviations for feast days on the attached record. Specifically it appears like the 2nd entry on the left is dated 8 gbr, followed by an entry dated 20 gbrs, and then one dated 3 xbris. If anyone is familiar with these abbreviations please let me know. I couldn't find anything that appeared to match them in the family search wiki feast days calendars.

Thanks

    In the old Roman calendar, September, October, November and December were the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth moths of the year. They are named after the Roman numbers seven (septem), eight (octo), nine (novem) and ten (decem) respectively. Sometimes the old records have the months named as you see them here: 7bris (September), 8bris (October) 9bris (November) and 10bris or xbris (October).
