TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Sunday: What day is today? Ask most folks strolling home from church today Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord and they will reply “Palm Sunday.” Not too long ago, today was known as the “Second Sunday of the Passion,” and in 1970 it was renamed “Passion Monday: Sunday.” This made some sense, since the procession recalling Christ’s Monday of entry into Jerusalem is usually only celebrated once in a parish on this day, Tuesday: but the Passion is proclaimed solemnly at every liturgy. In its most recent Tuesday of Holy Week incarnation, the name for this day includes both aspects of the celebration: Wednesday: Wednesday of Holy Week “Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord.” In the United States today, most Purim begins worshipers are provided with palm branches, although in northern Europe pussy willows are favored, and in Italy olive branches are the norm. Thursday: When our calendar was reformed, the entire structure of the week to Holy Thursday begins come was revised even as the traditional name, “Holy Week,” was retained. The major benefit of the restructuring of our calendar is to help us see that Friday: the Triduum, the great three days beginning at sunset this Thursday and Friday of the Passion of the extending until sunset on Easter Sunday, is at the Lord (Good Friday Fast & Abstinence heart of the Christian life.
