All Lent leads up to the last week. dur
| Ing which the sad scenes of Calvary aro
renewed. In the very earliest days Of
the church the Christians celebrated with
solemn ceremony the sufferings of Jesus
Chrlst. st. Chrysostom called the days of
theSe ceremonies the Great Week - Tho
| Greeks called it the Greater Week" and
| the Germans the week of Sorrows" but
| the early English Christians gave II the
| name of Holy Week" The services Of
the Catholic church during Holy week
| follow step by step the path of the Savior
! from His triumphant entry into Jeru-
salem amid the acclaim Of the populace
| strewlng palms along His way, through
the days of His passion and death To
| the day Of His resurrection.
IL IS most complete and impressive
rltuai winch has been provided for the
| ceremonies of Holy week. and in all tba
| parish churches it will be carried out
iully' so far as essential details go.
necessarily In the larger churches the
ceremonial is more elaborate.
The first day Of Holy week is called
ram sunday, because the palm branches
| are blessed and carried in procession in
honor of the triumphant entry of Jesus
| into Jerusalem just before His passion.
Inc ceremony of the blessing of the palm
IS very ancient, having been spoken of
by st. Cyril in the fourth century. In
| countries where the palm does not grow
other trees, such as cedar, hemlock and
| laurel are used. At present a species Of
| palm from Florida is used There Is a
| sentiment in this, as the Spaniards dis
| covered the southern coast on Palm SIN.
| day and called it Florida, the Spanish for
| flowers. The gospel of the passion ac-
| cord1ng to st. Matthew, is read on this
| day at the mass. Immediately before the
| late or high mass occurs the blessing of
| the palms, the ceremony being performed
| by the celebrant. At the conclusion of
the blessing the palms are distributed
among the congregation, after which the
| procession through the aisles and vestf-
| bule takes places, commemorative of
Christ's procession to Jerusalem. The
| thurifer walks first with the smoking
| cenSer; then the subdeacon with the
cross, attended by two acolytes with
lighted candles; next the body Of AGO.
| lytes, seminarians, clergy and last of all
| the celebrant, with the deacon at his left.

/ the procession the descriptive anthems.
including the 'Hosanna," are sung. The
4 congregation stands holding palm branch
es while the procession is in progress,
| and the palms are retained in the hand
| during the mass which follows
| The high mass Is as on other SUNDAYS.
| save that the Passion" Is sung in parts
| taken, one voice for the narrative, sec
ond for the words Of Jesus, a third for
| the high priest, Plate, ETC., and the
voice of the multitude by chorus of
