PALM SUNDAY OF THE PASSION OF THE LORD ~ MARCH 29, 2015 FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK By contrast with this grueling ancient regimen, our modern celebration of Holy Week asks little. But it is all Some time between 381 and 384 Egeria, a so beautiful and so important. I hope you will worship religious sister who lived in what is today with us this week. The bulletin lists our schedule below. either Spain or France, made a pilgrimage to Msgr. David Hubba the biblical lands. Part of the diary she kept of her experiences, later copied into a manuscript by the Benedictine monks of Italy’s famous Monte Cassino monastery in the eleventh century, has survived and was rediscovered by historian and archaeologist G. F. Gamurrini in 1884. After relating her extensive journeys through Asia Minor, the Holy Land and Egypt, Egeria described in considerable detail how the Christians of Jerusalem worshiped during Holy Week. Even though today’s Palm Sunday Masses are the longest Sunday ones of the year, they are very short compared to the long and strenuous hours of worship of early times. Palm Sunday in ancient Jerusalem began, as usual, with a Mass that started even before daybreak at what was called the Martyrium (“testimony”), the Great Church that commemorated the place of the Lord’s Living Stations of the Cross 7:30 pm in Upper Church death on the cross. Later, after the customary prayers at the Anastasis (“resurrection”), the domed shrine separated from the Martyrium by a courtyard, there was a lunch break until, at one o’clock, the people reconvened at the Eleona (“olive trees”) Church, part way up the Mount of Olives, where Jesus had prayed with his disciples the night before his crucifixion. Following prayers there, they processed to the top of the hill to the church that marked the site of Christ’s ascension, the Imbomon (“high church”), where, at three o’clock, they heard the gospel passage about Jesus’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Then, Egeria writes:

… everyone walks down …, with the people preceding the bishop and responding continually with Blessed is He who comes in the name of the GOOD FRIDAY PONTIFICAL COLLECTION Lord to the hymns and antiphons. All the children …, including those who are not yet able FOR THE HOLY LAND to walk because they are too young and Every year, each parish in the United therefore are carried on their parents’ shoulders, States takes up a collection on Good … bear branches, some carrying palms, others, Friday, as designated by the Holy olive branches. And the bishop is led in the same Father. This collection helps support the work of the manner as the Lord once was led. From the top in the Holy Land. The money is used to care of the mountain as far as the city, and from there for the people and places of the Holy Land. This through the entire city as far as the Anastasis, collection keeps alive in this area made holy everyone accompanies the bishop the whole way by the life, suffering, death and resurrection of our Lord, on foot, … reciting the responses all the while; Jesus Christ. Please be generous. and they move very slowly so that the people “Lord, Jesus, help us to walk Your way of love. Lead us to will not tire. By the time they arrive at the serve Your people in love. Reveal to us the path to love, Anastasis, it is already evening. …[V]espers is that all may know Your peace. Amen.” Holy Land Franciscans celebrated; then a prayer is said at the Cross and PHOTOS OF THE HOLY LAND → the people are dismissed. See photos of the Saint Joseph Parish Pilgrimage to the
