Thirteen years ago, on an Ash Wednesday like today, Pope Benedict XVI—notoriously against his will—received a long applause from the Cardinals and all those present in Saint Peter's Basilica. Only God knows how many of those there present contributed to his resignation.

A rare recording of Pope Pius XII’s voice as he sings the preface of the Easter Mass. V. Dóminus vobíscum. R. Et cum spíritu tuo. V. Sursum corda. R. Habémus ad Dóminum. V. Grátias agámus Dómino, Deo nostro. R. Dignum et justum est. Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre: Te quidem, Dómine, omni témpore, sed in hac potíssimum die gloriósius prædicáre, cum Pascha nostrum immolátus est Christus. Ipse enim verus est Agnus, qui ábstulit peccáta mundi. Qui mortem nostram moriéndo destrúxit et vitam resurgéndo reparávit. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dominatiónibus cumque omni milítia coeléstis exércitus hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus, sine fine dicéntes.

Our Lady Runs in the Square in Sulmona (Italy) From afar, the Virgin recognizes her Risen Son. In an instant, her black mantle and veil fall away, revealing a splendid green dress adorned with gold and a vivid red rose, as twelve doves rise into the air. At exactly noon, Our Lady begins her run through the square, amid the applause of the crowd. When Our Lady reaches her Son, the brothers of the confraternity embrace one another, often moved to tears. It is a tradition renewed for many years thanks to the Confraternity of Santa Maria del Loreto in Sulmona.

Good Friday is the only day of the year on which the Holy Mass cannot be celebrated, because we commemorate Our Lord dead upon the Cross for our sins. The liturgical ceremony of that day, until the reform of Holy Week in 1955, was known as Feria Sexta in Parasceve. This term derives from the Greek παρασκευή (paraskeué), meaning “preparation.” It was the name given by the Jews to the day before the Sabbath—the day of preparation for the strict observance of rest on the Sabbath—when food and other necessities had to be made ready beforehand. In the liturgy, Parasceve refers to Good Friday (Feria VI in die Parasceves), the day of the crucifixion of Jesus. On this day, the liturgy is distinguished by the so‑called “Mass of the Presanctified,” a rite involving the consumption of the pre‑sanctified species—that is, the Host consecrated on the preceding day—following the solemn Adoration of the Cross and the Great Litany.

Traditional Mass in Cameroon. Here we see the beginning of the Roman Canon: “Te igitur”, followed by the kiss on the altar and the three crosses over the host and the chalice. Then, a bow of the head towards the Missal when the name of the Pope is said (…una cum famulo tuo Papa nostro Leone…).
