Passiontide.
Illustration:
Today is the beginning of The Season of Passiontide.
While The General Roman Calendar no longer mentions Passiontide explicitly, the proper Preface to The Eucharistic Prayer, the choice of Hymns in The Divine Office, and the practice of Veiling Crosses and images, bear witness to it.
In The Ordinariate Calendar, the Title of Passion Sunday
is restored to The Fifth Sunday of Lent, so we can
unapologetically begin our Commemoration
of The Lord’s Passion.
