It's that time of year again! In the old calendar, we are moving into a new season in the Liturgical Year this Sunday, Feb 1. It is Septuagesima Sunday and marks the next 2 1/2 weeks where we transition from the joy of Christmas to the penitential season of Lent. For those of us who attend the Traditional Latin Mass and follow the traditional calendar, beginning this Sunday, the Gloria and Alleluia will no longer be said during Mass and the priest will wear violet as we prepare for Lent.
Every year on the Saturday before Septuagesima Sunday, we decorate our Alleluias so that we can "bury" them before Sunday. This Saturday, Jan 31 is the day to get them finished! The final Alleluias are usually sung at Vespers.
