Summary

Why do Catholics Veil Images on Passion Sunday (5th Sunday) of Lent? Dr. Taylor Marshall explores the Traditional Latin Mass readings and biblical theology of “veils” and “hiddenness” as it relates to Roman Rite on Passion Sunday. He also explains why it has been lost in the Novus Ordo Mass and how we can restore and appreciate the Traditional Roman liturgy and readings. Do you find benefit from my videos and podcasts?

0:00.0	Why is it that traditionally Catholics cover all the statues, all the crosses, all the
0:05.8	crucifixes in the Catholic churches throughout the world beginning on the fifth Sunday of
0:12.4	LAMP? This is a really important liturgical detail in the history of the
0:17.5	Roman Rite, and today I'm going to explain why that is from the traditional Epistle and gospel appointed for Passion Sunday, and also
0:25.8	how this symbolism was in a way obliterated by Pope John the 23rd when he began to change the name and the meaning of the
0:37.3	fifth Sunday of Lent. So we no longer see this consistently throughout the
0:41.1	Roman Rite in the Catholic Church.
0:43.0	So we'll begin by looking at some examples here.
0:46.0	On the screen you'll see that this is a traditional appointed church for the fifth Sunday in Lent. You'll remember that Lent has 46 days in it
0:55.9	and those extra six days are apportioned for the six Sundays in Lent. Now traditionally abstinence was kept from meat and dairy. I did a whole

1:26.3	traditionally.
1:28.0	But the abstinence retained on the Sundays.
1:31.8	So you didn't eat meat on Sundays traditionally. We're talking about like
1:34.4	1200 here. Traditionally you didn't eat meat on the Sundays, everything you abstained from
1:40.2	retained on the Sunday. But on the Sunday you broke your fast when you after mass, usually
1:46.9	after we went to mass early in the morning, you didn't wait till three. Why? Because traditionally
1:51.2	east and west it's always been banned from fasting on a Sunday.
1:56.3	So since those Sundays were not actual fast, they added an additional six days to the time of Lent. That's why in the Roman right, Lent is 46 days.
2:06.8	Now the fourth Sunday is Laitari. That's when we see the rose vestments on the priests and
2:11.8	on the altar. But the fifth Sunday is passion and this begins
