Passion SUNDAY. To- morrow is known ID
the Catholic and Episcopal Churches as Passion
Sunday. 1t is the commencement OF the sea-
lou of two weeks previous to Easter set apart
for the especial consideration of the passion OF
Christ, called Passion Time. During this pc
Rod the crosses, images, and pictures 10 the
Catholic Churches are covered with purple
veil, emblematic of the hiding of Christ from
the Jews. and his flight from the temple when
they threatened to stone him, and also OF the
profound meditation OF the Church on the pas
sion and death of the Saviour. All expressions
Of low, such as the "Gloria Patria, "Alleluia, !"
&C., are omitted from the service, and no. adorn-
meu,s are placed upon the affairs. During this
passioo time, there are only Two occasions on
which tile Church turns aside to give express
500 to JOY, aud those are the celebration OF
the ,riumpha entry of Christ into Jerusalem
90 Palm Sunday, and the celebration of the H.
s'iutioD of the Eucharistic Sacrahcs on Holy
Thursday.
