would this be a festival name in church calendar?

Is the expression for the Sundays when banns were announced be specific church festivals? I couldn't find them in the German church calendar. They are more clearly repeated in the next record below it. Also, could 'Alten Schalt heißen' be old town crier or is it something else? Thanks!

Hello @Tom Randolph,

The two abbreviated words you are asking about are church festivals.

The first is "Quingag" = Quinquagesima, which was Sunday, 17 Feb in the year 1667 (Julian calendar).

The second is "Quadrag" = Quadragesima, which was Sunday, 24 Feb in the year 1667 (Julian calendar).

Then the couple married on Tuesday, 26 Feb 1667.

Regarding "alten Schalt heißen":

I read this phrase as "alten Schultheißen" = old mayor; old magistrate (see Thode for additional definitions).

You're welcome, Tom.

I would recommend the following reference source to you; perhaps you can find a copy in the used book market:
The Comprehensive Genealogical Feast Day Calendar, Inger M. Bukke, Peer K. Kristen, Finn A. Thomsen, compilers (Bountiful, UT: Thomsen's Genealogical Center, c1983. Paper covers and spiral bound, 119 pages.

This is the source I used to answer your question.

@Robert Seal_1 : I use the FamilySearch list online at https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Moveable_and_Fixed_Feast_Day_Calendars_for_Germany . I must have been looking at the wrong dates otherwise I should have seen those names there. I need to take a break!
