Notes

Liturgical Calendar
With no liturgical celebration, there is no question of a liturgical colour. Septuagesima (from the Latin word for "seventieth") is a two-and-a-half-week period before Lent. This pre-Lent season is present within the pre-1970 type of the Roman Rite and in some Protestant calendars. It is a transition from the first a part of the season every year to the season of Lent, and a preparation for the fasting and penance which start on Ash Wednesday. Although a lot of the Divine Office stays the identical as during the season each year, certain customs of Lent are adopted, together with the suppression of the "Alleluia", the alternative of the Alleluia at Mass with the Tract and the Gloria is no longer mentioned on Sundays.
In the Roman Rite, feasts that fall within that week are merely omitted, unless they've the rank of Solemnity, in which case they are transferred to another date. The solely solemnities inscribed within the General Calendar that may fall within that week are these of St. Joseph and the Annunciation. In the post-1969 form of the Roman Rite, "Passion Sunday" and "Palm Sunday" are both names for the Sunday earlier than Easter, formally referred to as "Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion".

Ascension Thursday, which celebrates the return of Jesus to heaven following his resurrection, is the fortieth day of Easter, but, in places the place it isn't noticed as a Holy Day of Obligation, the post-1969 form of the Roman rite transfers it to the following Sunday. The triduum begins on the evening earlier than Good Friday with Mass of the Lord's Supper, celebrated with white vestments, and often features a ritual of ceremonial footwashing. It is customary on this night for a vigil involving non-public prayer to take place, beginning after the night service and continuing till midnight. This vigil is sometimes renewed at dawn, persevering with till the Good Friday liturgy. In the pre-1970 type, this feast is celebrated on January thirteen, until January thirteen is a Sunday, during which case the feast of the Holy Family is celebrated instead.
"Ordinary" comes from the identical root as our word "ordinal", and in this sense means "the counted weeks". In the Catholic Church and in some Protestant traditions, these are the frequent weeks which don't belong to a correct season. In Latin, these seasons are referred to as the weeks every year, or "via the year".
In the Roman Rite, during the "Gloria in Excelsis Deo" the organ and bells are used in the liturgy for the first time in 2 days, and the statues, which have been veiled throughout Passiontide , are unveiled. The name of the seasons of Eliyah-Sliba-Moses takes their origin from the feast of the transfiguration of Jesus. And the seasons revolve across the exaltation of the cross on the feast of the wonderful cross on September 14. During the seasons of Eliyah and Sliba church reminds the faithful of the heavenly bliss which is promised to be inherited at the end of earthly life and the church commemorates the exaltic experience of the bliss via varied sacraments.
