The veiling of the altar starting today, Passion Sunday, is dramatic and an emphasis on what a world without hope of redemption would be if not for the offering of Our Lord's life in atonement for the sins of the human race.
Yes, it was another long-established liturgical practice with great meaning that was mysteriously "erased" in the liturgical collapse after 1965: but it should be re-instated. Of course.
It makes one think at an elemental level of what life would be like. And shudder. -Comment by Dante P.
