Palm Sunday 2010
To borrow a term from the Catholic Radio Network, let's play a little "Catholic Holy Week Word Nerd". You will be coming to church, I hope, during Holy Week. Do you know the meaning of the many symbols that we will use? Here we go:

what is:
+ the respository
+ the ambry
+ humeral veil
+ urn
+ paschal candle
+ grains of incense
+ stylus
+ ciborium
+ ingrediente ???

Why does the priest kiss the altar, at the beginning and the end of Mass?
Is a cross or a crucifix the preferred liturgical symbol on Good friday?
Does the Liturgical directive indicate a number for the Washing of Feet?
Is there a Mass on Good Friday?
What time must the Easter Vigil begin? Not before____?
When does Lent end?

What do we mean by the Octave of Easter?
