Passiontide 2024 Photopost (Part 2)

As always, we are very grateful to all everyone who has shared their photographs of their churches veiled for Passtiontide, and two very nice sets of rose-colored Laetare vestments. We are looking forward to see pictures of your Palm Sunday liturgies. Please send them in to photopost@newliturgicalmovement.org, and remember to include the name and location of the church, and any other information you think important.

Passiontide 2024 Photopost (Part 1)

Here is our first photopost of your churches with the crosses and statues veiled for Passiontide. There will definitely be at one more in this series before we move on to Holy Week, and there is always room for more, so feel free to send yours in to photopost@newliturgicalmovement.org, and remember to include the name and location of the church, and anything other information you think important. We will also be glad to include photos of other recent celebrations such as St Patrick, St Joseph, and rose colored vestments on Laetare Sunday. Thanks to the contributors, and to everyone who is doing so much good work to restore and preserve the great inheritance of our Catholic liturgical tradition - evangelize through beauty!

Photopost Request: Passiontide Veils 2024

Our next photopost series will be of your churches with the Crosses, statues and paintings veiled for Passiontide. Please send your pictures to photopost@newliturgicalmovement.org for inclusion; remember to give us the name and location of the church, and always feel free to add any other information you think important. It’s not a bad idea to include a shot or two of the church before the veils are put up. We will also be glad to include any pictures of rose-colored vestments on Laetare Sunday, or the upcoming feasts of St Patrick (transferred to Passion Monday this year) or the feast of St Joseph. Keep up the good work of evangelizing through beauty!

Please send your pictures to photopost@newliturgicalmovement.org for inclusion; remember to give us the name and location of the church, and always feel free to add any other information you think important.

This has consistently been one of our most popular photopost series; last year, we made three separate posts, with nearly 90 photographs from nearly 30 different churches around the world. As usual, here is a bit of retrospective.

From the first post: the high altar of Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini, the FSSP church in Rome.

From the second post: a private chapel.

From the third post: veiling the Cross at the church of St Dominic and Shrine of the Most Holy Rosary, the Dominican church in London, England.

Passiontide Photopost 2022 (Part 1)

Every year when we do the photopost series of Passiontide veils, we get one or two contributions that come with a note saying that it was the first time the church had put up the veils since the post-Conciliar reform. This year, that note comes from the beautiful neo-gothic Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Denver, Colorado. We should all take encouragement in seeing this beautiful Catholic tradition gaining more and more ground each year.

and after.

We have already received so many pictures from all over the world that there will definitely be two more posts in this series before we move on to Palm Sunday and Holy Week, but there is always room for more, so if you have photos you would like to contribute, there is plenty of time to send them in to photopost@newliturgicalmovement.org, and remember to include the name and location of the church. Evangelize through beauty!

Photopost Request: Passiontide Veils 2022

Our next photopost series will be of your churches with the Crosses, statues and paintings veiled for Passiontide. Please send your pictures to photopost@newliturgicalmovement.org for inclusion; remember to give us the name and location of the church, and always feel free to add any other information you think important. It’s not a bad idea to include a shot or two of the church before the veils are put up. We will, of course, follow this up with photoposts of Palm Sunday and the other major ceremonies of Holy Week.

This has consistently proved one of our most popular photopost series; last year, we received so many pictures that we wound up making three separate posts of them, with over 100 photographs from over 30 different churches around the world. As usual, here is a bit of retrospective.

From the first post, the church of St Peter in Radovljica, Slovenia.

From the second post, the church of St Patrick in Seneca, Illinois.

From the third post, the church of St Francis in Tiradentes, Minas Gerais, Brazil 

A Final Passiontide Photopost

Before we move on to photos of your Palm Sunday liturgies, and then the other ceremonies of Holy Week and Easter, we have a few extra items from last week: a Mass for St Joseph in Poland, a Pontifical Mass on the Annunciation, and Passiontide veils in seven different churches in Brazil, and were sent in by one of our most regular photopost contributors, Mr João Melo. As always, thanks for those who shared these with us.
