Illustration and Text:
Third Sunday after Easter
(Celebrated in the Diocese of Quebec, 1845).
This Feast was formerly Celebrated in some places on the Third Sunday after Epiphany, it is now in the General Calendar on Sunday within the Octave of the Epiphany.
From “The Liturgical Year”:
“The Feast of The Holy Family is of recent origin.
In 1663, Barbara d’Hillehoust Founded at Montreal, Canada, The Association of The Holy Family; this devotion soon spread and, in 1893, Pope Leo XIII expressed his approval of a Feast under this Title and himself composed part of The Office.
The Feast was welcomed by succeeding Pontiffs as an efficacious means for bringing home to the Christian people the example of The Holy Family at Nazareth, and by the restoration of the true spirit of family life, stemming, in some measure, the evils of present-day society.
These motives led Pope Benedict XV
to insert the Feast in the Universal Calendar”.
In the above, we have the following Hymns; we do not
have the music, so we will set these to melodies used for
the other Hymns of The Holy Family:
Vespers Hymn;
Matins Hymn;
Verbum ! Virgineo te genitum sinu.
