Today was once called Passion Sunday, now it is called the Fifth Sunday in Lent. Some churches continue to drape the statues and crucifixes in purple. I like that very much. This photo shows the giant statues at St. Agnes draped. (The photographer was on the floor, which might be the reason the people look so tall.)Sunday, March 29, 2009

I still wonder what happened to Ascension Thursday!!!
We veiled the statues today, but the crucifix won't be veiled until Palm Sunday.
ReplyDeleteOur statues and our mural of the Ascension are draped in purple now. When I was a child they used to drape the crucifix and Our Lady's statue in white during Holy Week. Don't know if that is ever done anymore.
