Do not have the answer but you can get a clue from the prior page, this probably has to do with the Trinity calendar, they did not report dates sometimes. This is from Family search:
The Gregorian calendar is the calendar in common use in the world today. It is a correction of the Julian calendar which had been in use since A.D. 46. Leap years had been miscalculated in the Julian calendar. By 1582, the calendar was 10 days behind the solar year.
In Norway the last day of the Julian calendar was 18 February 1700. At that time, 10 days were omitted in order to bring the calendar in line with the solar year. The day after 18 February 1700 was 1 March 1700.
The early records in Norway often list a feast day rather than an actual date (for example, Dom. 7 p. Trin. 1818, or 7 Sundays past the Holy Trinity Sunday). You can use the feast day calendar to determine that the date is 5 July 1818.
The Feast Day Calendar was compiled by Inger M. Bukke and Finn A. T*****n. It includes three parts: 1) an index to fixed and movable feast days, 2) the Gregorian calendar table from 1610 to 1833, and 3) the Julian calendar (for Sweden and Finland only) from 1700 to 1753 (FHL book 948 H3b).
The calendar is available at the Family History Library. It may also be available through other genealogical organizations.

Here is information on Feast Days on Wikipedia, click on Lutheran:

If she was baptised on the first Sunday after Epiphany (January 6), it would have been January 12. January 6, 1755 was on a Monday. |

Yes, but reading the prior page the last record there is on "Festo Purificationis Mariæ" and since the record in question is denoted Eod Die (same day as above) this was February 2. |

One further question, I usually can use this list of ecclesiastical dates
http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~norway/ecclesiastical.html
to determine what to look up in the Dansk Kalender to find the exact date. In this case I cannot find a "Festo Purificationis Mariæ" in the list. Any suggestions as what holiday this is and how to find out when it is would be appreciated for future use.

"Festo Purificationis Mariæ" was always on Febr 2. Was not used after 1770.

Looks like Dom 3rd Advent which I would find as the 16 of December. in 1764
- that's right. |

You are right Einar.
Festum Purificationis Mariæ was the celebration 40 days after the presentation of Jesus at the Temple in Jerusalem of Dec. 25, "Kyndelsmesse" or "Marias renselsedag" in Norwegian, stated as Feb. 2.

| Thanks again, just when I think I might have almost enough knowledge to use the historical resources a new wrinkle appears. |
