Palm Sunday.

In the Catholic and Episcopal churches
morrow's services will be duly regarded, the
same being known on the church calendar as
Palm Sunday. 1t is so-called from the cere-
mony of blessing branches Of palm, olive or
some other rreo to be distributed among tho
faithful to be carried in procession in re-.
membrance of what the Jewish people did
when Christ, six days before His passion,
made His triumphant entry into Jerusalem
riding on an ass's colt. The blessing Of the
palm takes place before the celebration of the
mass, and after the mass it is given to the
people. In former times it was customary to
march in procession around the church, but
this has been discontinued of late years ex-
cept by the clergy and the assistants. The
services during the week, known among
church people as holy week, are of the most
solemn character, and typify the death and
passion of the Saviour. Thursday and Friday
will be particularly observed as season OF
penitential reverence. In the Catholic
churches especially suitable prayers will be
SAID commemorative of the days.
