Help with translating date
Hello, I would appreciate help in translating the month and day of birth or christening. The year is 1788 and the parents names to my understanding are John Pedersen and Eli Osmundsdatter. The file URL is https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/1599/37 and it is on 2nd page number 15.
SAST, Hjelmeland sokneprestkontor, IV/L000: Parish register (official) no. A 1, 1760-1799, p. 64-65.
Thanks, Gayle Viera

Hi Sister Viera, hope you are doing well!
The date is a moveable feast day: Dom 12 p. Trinit(atis) which is the 12th Sunday after Trinity: 13 September in 1778. The father is Jøn Pedersen and the mother is (I believe) Elen Osmundsdatter.
You can find the moveable feast days for 1778 in Norway here: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Norway:_Moveable_Feast_Days_in_1778
We look forward to seeing you again-soon, I hope.
ps. Please note that the year is actually 1778 rather than 1788.

I think it's the 6th of September if I'm reading this right. Missed it by one line, Elder Baker. I agree it's Elen.

As usual, you are correct! That's how important details are! My glasses must have been on crooked
Hope you and Sister Vogeler are doing well.0 -
The FamilySearch wiki page for the calendar is good, but I really like this site:

Just put in the year to see the entire list of Sundays and Feast days for that year:
