The only account of the Xavier Octave given in the Dresden Diarium Missionis for 1727 notes that on the Vigil of the octave (2 December) the Xavier Litanies were performed at 4.00 pm. The annual letter for 1727 reported that celebrations in honour of Saints Ignatius and Xavier and of other patron saints were attended by the Princess and her court. The Holy Apostle to the Indies (St Francis Xavier) was venerated during his octave by solemn sung litanies and also a devotion extending over ten days.
