The novenary and the calendar were among the most popular and widely used religious and secular printed materials in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. These were widespread in almost all major Philippine language groups and were used not only during special religious celebrations but also in ordinary, everyday life. The Iglesia Filipina Independiente, through its founders Isabelo de los Reyes and Gregorio Aglipay, among others, published and widely utilized the novenary and the calendar not only to serve as religious guides but also to convey nationalist sentiments among its members. Equally important was the manner by which these texts affected the church members' notions of temporality, self-identity, and national character. The paper focuses on the analysis of two important texts of the early twentieth century - the Novenario ng Balintawak and the Calendariong Maanghang - and evaluates their impact on the popular, nationalist religiosity of the Aglipayan movement
