The Afterfeast of Ascension lasts for eight days until the Apodosis on the following Friday. Protasis and apodosis avoid the issue entirely. The Great Feast lasts for seven days, with its Apodosis falling on the following Saturday. The preterite forms of modals are used in counterfactual conditional sentences, in the apodosis ("then"-clause). In some contexts, the consequent is called the apodosis. The Apodosis (leave-taking) of Mid-Pentecost comes one week later, on the following Wednesday. The last day of an Afterfeast is called the Apodosis (lit. "giving-back") of the Feast.
