VEILED IMAGES AND UNBLEACHED CANDLES FOR PASSIONTIDE
The Sunday before Palm Sunday was tradi onally known as Passion Sunday. It was on that day that the church’s principal images (statues/crucifixes) were veiled for the remainder of Lent. This was, at least in part, because the gospel for that day said that Jesus “hid himself, and went out of the temple” (John 8:59). The veiling of images of our Lord and his saints adds to the peniten al “feel” of the Lenten season as we approach his death on Good Friday and mourn his me in the tomb. Thus also the use of unbleached beeswax candles: they contrast with the more fes ve white of the bleached candles that we tradi onally see throughout the year. Unbleached candles may actually be used not only during Passion de but whenever purple is worn – so almost all of Lent and Advent. Historically, they were most o en used on Good Friday and for the Office of Tenebrae. Apart from peniten al seasons, they may also be used as a sign of mourning at funeral Masses. Details such as these add wonderful variety to our celebra ons and enhance their spiritual mean-ing. The conclusion of Lent is a more reserved and somber me; may we all strive to be recollected and unite ourselves to the liturgical movement, so to prepare ourselves for a wonderful celebra on of Easter!
Swieconka * Polish Easter Basket Blessing Cathedral of St. Paul‐Holy Saturday, March 31 at 9:00am
All are welcome! Swieconka (sh-vee-en-soon-kah) is one of the most enduring and beloved Polish tradi ons. Baskets containing a sampling of East-er foods are brought to church to be blessed on Holy Saturday. The basket is tradi onally lined with a white linen or lace napkin and decorated with sprigs of boxwood (bukszpan), the typical Easter evergreen. This food is shared on Easter morning in a ritu-al breaking of the fast.
