majesty, the "flower sprung from the root of Jesse." Originally it was a natural rose, then a single golden rose of natural size, but since the fifteenth century it has consisted of a cluster or branch of roses wrought of pure gold in brilliant workmanship by famous artists. The popes bless one every year, and often confer it upon churches, shrines, cities, or distinguished persons as a token of esteem and paternal affection. - Rose Sunday, and it has a counterpart in : Gaudete Sunday, the Third Sunday of Advent, when purple vestments are exchanged for rose ones.

encouragement as we progress toward the end of each respective penitential season. Traditional Latin Mass - , or the Sunday of the Five Loaves, from a miracle recorded in the Gospel of Roman Catholic Church John 6:1-15, on the multiplication of the loaves and the fishes -- symbols of the Eucharist to come in 18 days (on Maundy Thursday of Holy Week).

- Mid-, mi-carême, or mediana. - , in allusion to the Epistle, which indicates our right to be called the sons of God as the source of all our joy, and also because formerly the faithful used to make their offerings in the cathedral or mother-church on this day. This latter name is still kept up in some remote parts of England, though the reason for it has ceased to exist. - Lætare Sunday is the most popular name. Lætare means "Rejoice" in Latin, and the Introit (entrance antiphon) in both the Traditional Latin Mass and the Novus Ordo is Isaiah 66:10-11, which begins "Lætare, Jerusalem" ("Rejoice, O Jerusalem").

The Spirit of Lætare Sunday Because the midpoint of Lent is the Thursday of the third week of Lent, Lætare Sunday has traditionally been viewed as a day of celebration, on which the austerity of Lent is briefly lessened. The passage from Isaiah continues, "rejoice with joy, you that have been in sorrow," and on Lætare Sunday, the purple vestments and altar cloths of Lent are set aside, and rose ones are used instead. Flowers, which are normally forbidden during Lent, may be placed on the altar. Traditionally, the organ was never played during Lent, except on Lætare Sunday.
