Help Understanding Danish Dates

[Ric Rasmussen]

I am looking at images 46 and 47 in this record and trying to understand why the dates seem erratic.  Starting with the first entry on image 46 the date is Dom. 2da Advent which in 1780 was 10 Dec.  Next entry is Eod die followed by Dom 3da Advent (17 Dec) and then Dom 4da Advent (24 Dec).  That all seems to make sense.

Then they throw me a curveball.  The next entry is Dom 18 December.  I thought Dom was a Latin abbreviation for Sunday.  18 Dec was a Monday. Then Fer. 2da Nativit. (which is actually the date I'm interested in).  I believe Fer. is a Latin abbreviation for holiday.  So does "2da" mean 2 days after Christmas or is it supposed to be 2 weeks (like 2da, 3da Advent etc).  Two days after Christmas, 27 Dec, would have been a Wednesday. The next 3 entries are Eod die but then we have Dom 22d December and Dom 28 December.

So does Dom mean something different since all of those days are not Sundays?

Was it common to have christenings on so many different days of the week near the end of the year?

Why would entries go out of order so much?  17 Dec, 24 Dec, 18 Dec, 27 Dec, 22 Dec, 28 Dec. Am I missing something or was the priest playing catch up?

Would Fer. 2da Nativit. be 27 Dec?

Thank you in advance,

Ric

My reading:

The next entry is Dom 18 December => Den 18. Dec.
Then Fer. 2da Nativit. => 2. juledag 26. dec.
Dom 22d December => Den 27d. dec.

I think Den 22de December  is mentioned twice (same event):
