Passion Sunday (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Passion Sunday (Dominica de Passione) is the name given to the fifth Sunday of Lent in the pre-1960 Roman Rite liturgy. In that year, Pope John XXIII's Code of Rubrics changed its name to "First Sunday of the Passion" (Dominica I Passionis), This brought the name into harmony with that given by Pope Pius XII to Palm Sunday, which in the Code of Rubrics and the 1962 edition of the Roman Missal continued to be called the "Second Sunday of the Passion or Palm Sunday" (Dominica II Passionis seu in palmis). Pius XII's change had thus given to the names of two Sundays, instead of one alone, a reference to the Passion.
