FROM PALM SUNDAY TO EASTER, To-day, Palm Sunday, is the beginning of “Holy Wook,” which, closing on the eve of | Easter, terminates the ponitential season of ' Lent in the Roman Catholic and Episcopal Churches. The latier, except its ritualistic i faction, takes little note of the ‘week of sor- rows,” as is indicated below; but in the Catholic Church the ceremonies are numerous and ex- traordinary, engrossing the whole of nearly { every day and evenine with public and private devotion, and presenting to the millions ontside that faith an unique and enigmatical ensemble ; Ssinsoluble as tho Eleusioian mysteries. Yet the highest wisdom of the Church, tts learn- ‘ing and its taste, have been brought to bear upon the designs and details of these manifold ceremonies; and, when jatiently examiaed, they are found to be replete with history and poetry, and as chaste and ele- vated in conception as they ara natural in their grouping and coherent and appropriate nm their : application. The sabject which is constantly ept in mind is the passion and death of Christ. PALM SUNDAY. The first (lay of Holy Week commemorates the entry of Christ into Jerusslem; when the Jews | cut branches off the palm trees and strewod. them on tho path over which He waa to pasa. It also represents the deliverance of the people of God from the slavery of Egypt, ‘and of their entrance into the Land of ‘ Promise. Hence, when the ™ooession approach es the Church, the knocking st the door with the foot of the cross signifies that the gatea of * Heaven are to be opened to us only by the s30- rifice of Christ apon the fatal tree. In Eastern | countries, palms and olive-branchea are blessed, —she firet typifying triumph, the second mercy ; ! but whore these trees do not grow, the lack is | eatisfoctorily supplied by any sort of green boughs. These being placed beside tbe altar, and the clerical procession having entered the | sanctuary, the priect eprinklos holy water over the palms, while the choir sings : Hosanna to the Son of David! Biessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. O King of Iersel! ‘Hosanna in the highost ! After prayer bf the it bea solemn mass, the calebract if it be not, recites the lesson from Exodus xv. and xvi., and tho doacon sings the Gospol accordicg to Blat- hew xxi, 1, 5—the latter being tho recital of Christ's entry into Jerusalem. An appropriate and beautiful prayer follows, after which the preface is chanted, the choir singing the Sanctus, i The palme are fumed with incense, and are thon distributed by the celebrant to the elergy and acolytes, the receiver kissing the priest’s hand. During the ceremony, the antiphons, “the Hebrew Children,” aresung. Finally the blessed palms are distributed to the People, and the maa is proceeded with, which does not differ ' notably from the ordinary mass except in 1 the reading of the Gospel, which includes the , entire history of Christ’s passion as narrated by i Mathow xxvi., xxvii. The vespers (in the even- ing) inclade the famous bymu, Verilla Regis, “ Bebold the Royal Ensigns Fly.” TALE INTERVENING DATS. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesdsy of Holy Week, there ara no public servicea of an especial _ kina.” Low masses—masees which ate not sung —are said in #'l the chorches, and the various : portions of the liturgy are arranged with refer- : ence tothe great text of the week. The epistle Monday ia from Isaiah i., 5; and tho gospel is the passion according to Jobin. Taesday the epistle is from Jeremiah xi., and the goszel is the passion according to Sark. Wednesday, the epistie is from Isaiah, “Tell the daughter of Zion, behold thy Savior cometh,” and the gos- pelis the passion according to Luke. Wednes- day evening, the Church intones THE TENEDRA. ‘This is one of the most solemn and touching features of the entiro Lenten service; but the effect is largely destroyed by the unfavoring conditions unger which it is usually porturmed in American cities, The name Tenebrie dark- “ nees) bas been given to it because it represents the state of the Charck during the sufferings of Christ, which it anticipates, sod be- cause, also, the candles in the sanctuary are extinguished during ite rendition. The | tenebre@ of each evening belongs'to the succeed- ‘ ing day,—that of Wedneaday night pertains to ' Holy or Maundy Thureday; thar on Thursday « night to Good Friday ; and that of Friday bight : to Holy Saturday. The tenebra is composed of psalms expressive of sorrow, desolation, aad prayer, of the Lamentations of Jeremiah, acd Of lessons frem St. Paol, St. Angustine, and other apostles and doctors. Tbe whole is ut- tered in Gregorian chant,—a form of song 80 radically different from that to which modern music has accustomed the tongue and the eat that epecial training is required for its p deliverance, and upon the skill aud taste o: foe cbsnters depend the effect upon the listener. Well performed by male voices,—it ia adapted only for these—these gloomy offices darken the imagination aud eaitnuse the soul in- to harmony with the spirit of the Church. Bat the words being Latin, and un- known to the average American, the success, he- TeticeUs apeaking, devolves upon the quality of the chant, aud, as the American pret usually lacks the gifts or attainments which constitute a good chanter, the beautifal symbolic sombreness of the performance too often degenerates into mere haste to Lee through. In the earty days of the Church, when Gregorian chant was the solo rule of music, and when organs did not oxist, | the congregations sang the chauts, either in Latin or their vernacular, acd the purpose de- ‘ igued in the lenebra waa then accomptished. : The Germans have preserved the custom of con- ! gregational singing, and this portion of the Lenten services will be most expressive m their churches. ‘The innovations made by Italien music gradually transferred the song of the Church from the congregations to the choirs_and the abuses which accumulated in the Jatter excinded female voices, so that in the Pope's chapel at Bomo no woman's voice is ever hhoacd, and many churches in Italy, England, and Spain, and afew m the United States, imi- tate this strictly orthodox example, and tolerate Pricet, the sub-dencon if } -,| feos, * NUMBER 210. ily Gregorian chant, sung in uniso: men or ma The musical effects obtained po begrarly incongraoous; butin Rome the expediente fat are appesled to, sad the finest eacred mu- ic in the world ia produced. The mpeic—never more ornate than that of Palestrina, but majes- tic beyond the possibility of dezcription— is rendere? by full choirs of first aod ‘socond tenors, first and eecond basses, selected and drilied be the M«stro di Capello, ana the performance is go magnificent as a whole, a0 ex- quisite im detail, tbat peoplo of taste tlock to Rome from all quarters of the continent in order to be present at it. Rome, during Holy Week, is the mathetic centre of Europe. A feeble ef- fort in appearing in England and the United Gtates for the restoration of congrezational singing, bat, whatever progress it may make in the former country, it is not likely to succeed, for a time, at loast, with us. The oecessary cul- ; tare is wanting among the masses; and thoes in authority naturally prefer good, or even ! mediocre, choir music to bad congregational at- : tempis. The composers of every echcol bave supplicu the Church with a manificeut repor- | tory upon her own texts, which she cannot be xXpected to willingly part with, WOLY THURSDAY. It is sometimes called ‘Mauudy Thursday from the first antiphon of the mass, whose initial word is “T give you a new com- mandment, that yoo love one another.” Tho Church commemorates on this aay the institu- tion of the Blessed Sacrament, hence it is called : in the Roman missal Feria in Cana | Domini. The French call it Jeudi absolut, be- cause, in olden time. the Cunrch absolved pub- lic sinners as s part of its ceremonies. It 1a the | ouly day of Holy Week in which the countenance | of the Church ‘resumes its serene expression, | and the office ia one of great beauty and ox- i alted joy. The altars, stripped duriog Lent of their” ornaments, assume s partial decora- ; tion; the purple vestments of the priest give’ way to gold and whito; the choir executes its richest mass to tho end of the Gloria. {Then the church bella and the altar gongs ; re rung, and from that moment until tho be~ ginning of tho Gloria ou Holy Saturday the bells are silent, and no sound of instramental music is permitted within the church. The figu- rative death of Christ occurs dating this peziod, hence the symbolism. ‘The ailent organ loudest chants The Master's roquiem, ‘The mass of Holy Thursday 1s like the ordi- nary to thé Gloria in Excelsis; after that it is unique. The gospel is John xiii. The kiss of peace at the communion is omitted in detestation of Judas. The priest consecrates two hosts, reserving one for Good Friday, when there is no consecration. One of the ejde altars, or that of the chapel of the church, is preparod for the receptien of thia Lost, and is ‘known among Catholics as “the Leposi- tory,” of which wo shall speak s moment lacer. After the mags, » procession is formed to convoy this host to its temoorary taberoacle, and ths main altar is then robbed of its linen, and lace, and farmebing, leaving it chcerless and naked, to typify the desolation of the Charch caused by the death of Chyist. ‘THE REPOSTTORY. | The preparation of the temporary lodgment of the consecrated host usually tests the pioty and taste of the congregation. As the bulk of devo~ tion is found among the deughters of Zion—for nowoman denied, or insulred, or betrayed Christ— } the church permits that faitafal sex to prepare | achaste and beantifal abode for the Savior. Winter msy linger in tho lap of spring aud threaten to stay there forever, but, if the riveted earth may not put forth hee ‘early blossoms to adorn the altar, recoarse must be to tho florists. And recourse ia had. No church eo | poor in Holy Week but that it will have its re- pository. Lace cartains, of pattorns appropri- te to the occasion, drop oueicher side of the altar, almost biding the taternacie; the flowers ofevery month are grouped around, and above, | and below, preference being given to the purer- colored and more delicate in formation—the calle-lilies usually lifting their immaculate drooping heads nearest the tabernacle, tike an- gel sentinels. Wasx-tapers glimmer among the flowers, and vari-colored powls of light ticker | emid the larger leaved plants, contributing a | slight inharaony, for these sre not of nature. The host having been deposited in the tabernacle, amid singing of hymns and clouds of mcanse, the clergy retire, and cae solemn watch devolves upon the faithful. The visitor entering the cburch during tho day will see many praying there, and, on a prie diew before the repcmtcry, a young gitl clad in while, with veil acd wreath een Heo | i iS | | i 1 | i upon her head,—the appointed watcher : and wershiper of the hour. Reliefs, similarly attired, tako her place, and the tender and besutifa) symbolism proceeds until daylight on Good Fnday. One of the practices of the time—a volunteer growth of faith—is to pay visits to as many dif- | ferent repositories as the time of the piously- | inclined will permit. DIOCESAN SERVICES. Certain special services occar Holy Thnrsday in one church of each diocese, tho Cathoaral. Bishop Foloy uses St. Mary’s as a pro-cathedral for the present, and these Dioveean services will take place there at 10 o'clock next Thursday morning. Ali the clargy of the city will be pres- ent, and as msoy from the outlying por- tions of the Diocese as can afford to bo absent from their own chcrohes. The principal festare of the ceremonies is the blessmg of the oil for use in baptism, holy orders, and extreme uaetion, suroughout the Diocese during the on- suing year. ‘The blessing is elaborate and wholly symbolical—and tho vestments of the prelate sod his assistants, the various ecclesias- tical sppliaocea which are brought to bear in order to rendor ths service solemn and im- pressive, the music, lights, and incense, consti- tate a picturesque aud dramatic scene. Goop FRivar. It is the bleakest day of the blesk week. The altars are e; the or- gan "is ailent; the chants are’ mcurnfal in the extreme.
