Holy Week in the Catholic Church

This is Holy Week in the Roman Catholic church, the most impressive periods oi it's liturgical year. St. John Chrysostom designated the period be- tween Palm Sunday and Easter as the Great Week because of the "great mys- teries which are then celebrated" It is more commonly known throughout the Christian world as Holy Week and in it occur Holy Thursday, Good Fri day and Holy Saturday. The solemn commemoration of the last days of the Sayior's life is traceable to the remot- est periods of the church's history, and is mentioned by St. John Chrysostsm, St. Athanasius, and European wom- an named Aethera who made a pill grimage to Jerusalem in 3S8 A. D.
 Palm Sunday marks the beginning of the week, and now, as formerly, the march of the palms is the principal ceremonial, which varies in different localities. One custom that never va ries :is the singing of the beautiful "GIoria Laus" as a processional. The blessing of the palms is invested with all possible ceremony, as 1t is the in- tention of the church that the palms be preserved as memorials of Christ s triumphal entry into Jerusalem. One of the features of the services on the evenings of these days is the gradual extinction of all candles save one, which represents Christ, and this is finally hidden behind the altar, while the Miserere" is sung. At it's close a loud noise Is made to signify the con vulsion of nature at the death of Christ.
 Good Friday involves a special cere- monial. This is the only day of the ecclesiastical year when the holy sacri- flee is not offered. The first part of the servicesconsists of the reading of two lessons from the Old Testament
 which refer to the sacrifice of the pas- chal lamb. Then the recorded fulfill ment of the ancient prophecy is read in Johns account of the cross. After | this what are known as bidding pray CTS are sung when the church asks Gods mercy for all living creatures. A ceremony of great antiquity follows, i the adoration of the cross. The Good
 Friday ceremonial concludes with the
 "Mass of the Presanctified," which is 1 the mass of the host sanctified Son the day before. The clergy, in black vest

Time was when whole races set apart months, weeks and days for the obser- vance of the anniversary of holy oeca- sions, but as the world grows older and more commercial, men and women pause in their pursuits only long enough to remark, By the way, this is a Church holy day." and give no further thought to the day. Christ mas is universally observed, perhaps primarily by number of people be- cause It means gift giving and feast ing. Easter Sunday provides the oc- casion for the display of spring milli- nery, gowns and sartorial triumphs. Few other holy days are observed by thousands of men and women in this country.
 Of all holy days in the calendar year Good Friday is the most sacred, for we were taught in childhood i've call that day good because ron that day Christ proved his supreme love for mankind.n
 Among the items of news during the past several days was one putting the members of the Stoak Exchange of the large cities on record as having decid- ed to close all the brokerage establish ments on Good Friday. From all parts of the country there have come reports indicating that business men will either suspend their business en- deavors entirely or minimize them on this sacred day. This is encouraging to note, in that it shows that after countless years of relentless pursuit of the so-called "almighty dollar" there has at last come upon the commercial world different spirit and changed regard toward the day on which the Saviour of mankind permitted himself to be nailed to the cross between two thieves on Calvary's summit to re. deem the world.-Richmond Virgin ian.
