HarPALN SuSDAYAND HOLY WEEK.-Last
Sabbath was Palm Sunday, aud the ser.
vices peculiar to the occasion were held in
ali Catholic Churches everywhere. Palm
Sunday pFecedes Holy Week, aud then
comes Easter Sunday. Ia the. Catholic
Church Passion Week is season of great
humility, which only ends with the adj.
vent Of Easter Sunday, when the mourn.
ing is turned to joy aud the places of Wor
ship are beautifully ornamented with
flowers and svergreens. The same is tho
season of the Hebrew passover, one of the
most important ofthe Jewish teasts, when
the people eat unleaveued bread and hum
BILE themselves as directed by the Mosaic
law.
Good Friday has been so called from
the great good resultant from our Savtor's
cFuciiziOn on that day. It's commemora.
ton has been observed from the first ages
of Christianity, and it is kept as day of
the strtctest fasting. Saturday, or .Eas-
ter eVen," is observed 10 commemoratfon
OF Chrnst's descent into He'll, or Hadss, the
place OF departed spirits. It ia usually
made the occasion of discourse of the
intermediate State" the abode of the soul
after the death of the body and before the
dual Judgment. Christ said to the peni..
sentthtef, ITO day shalt thou be with Ne
10 Paradise" and yet after his resurrec-
too said, "TOuch Me not, for l have not
yet aseesded to my Father, and st. Peter,
speaking of the time when Christ's body
lay 10 the tomb, said: ale went and
preached to the spirits in prison"
