THti DAILY EVENING TELEGRAFII. FHILADELPIIIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1867. PALM SUM DAY. How it was Obscrycd In England In the Olden Time-now It Is Now Ob served in Catholic Countries nqw it will be Ob scrrcd To-Morrow in the City, The Inst week of Lent, from the number f holy days whioh are crowded into it, has leceivcd the title of Holy Week. The first day ef this notable season, which begins to-morrow, is known an Falm Sunday, because it is the day on which is commemorated the entrance f onr Saviour into Jerusalem Just previous to Ilia crucifixion, when, as will be remembered, the people went forth to meet Him, bearing palm leaves in their Lauds, and crying Ho nanna. The ceremonies peculiar to the day had their origin at an early period in the his tory of the Church, and although they have lallen into disuse in Protestant countries sinee the Reformation, they are still maintained in those which acknowledge the supremacy of the Tope of Rome in all things spiritual. It 1'iaal Obatrvtuce. As the palm tree is uuknown in the greater part of Europe, it was nnoessary to find a sub stitute for this peculiar emblem, a use to which branches of willow, yew, or box were put, according to the circumstances. These branches were blessed by the priests immedi ately after mass, and were then distri buted among the people, by whom they were carried about with great rejoicings, in imitation of the triumphant entrance of Christ into Jerusalem. They were then gathered together and burned, the ashes being carefully put aside by the priests, to be sprinkled on the heads of the people on Ash Wednesday of the following year. Iti Ubiervaurt In Kncland Before the Reformation. Previous to the Reformation, the ceremonies observed in England were somewhat as fol lows: The branches and flowers which had been collected for the use of the priests were placed on the high altar, while those intended for the common people were deposited on the south step. They were then consecrated by a priest, attired in a red cope. For fear that the Evil One, or some of his baleful influences, might purposely be lurking among the branches, the officiating priest commenced the ceremony by exclaiming, in the name of the Trinity, " I conjure thee, thou creature of flowers and branches." Making the sign of the cross, he them commenced the prayer : " We humbly beseech Thee that Thy truth may sanctify this creature of flowers and branches, and slips of f palm, which we offer." The objects of these impressive ceremonials were then placed in the fumes of frankincense, and, after far ther prayers, were sprinkled with holy water. They were then distributed among the people, who started in procession, led by two priests, each of whom bore a crucifix. After passing through the town, the procession returned to the Church, and attended the performance of mass, the priest partaking of the Holy Sacrament. The ceremonies were closed with the offering by the.people, at the altar, of the consecrated branches and flowers. At times their celebration was accompanied by a ceremony which partook very much of a sacrilegious character. A weoden image, representing the Saviour mounted on an ass, was dragged through the streets, after one of the priests had proclaimed the meaning of the symbol, and recited the circumstances of the great event which it was intended to comme morate. Two priests preceded the image, chanting psalms, the multitude following with great shouts, and casting on the ground their twigs, frequently in such numbers that the image could with difficulty be drawn along. After it had passed, the branches were eagerly gathered up by the people, by whom they were believed to be a sure protec tion against storms and lightning during the following year. So universal was the observance of this day in England, that a saying came into common repute, to the effect that lie who did not have in his hand a palm on l'ahn Sunday would have his hand cut off. Unfortunately, how ever, for the truth of this saying, the chroni clers have recorded no instance in which the dread alternative came to pass. There were many peculiar customs connected with the observance of the day, in addition to those already described. Thus, cakes were some times thrown from the church steeple, the young people of the parish creating considerable merriment . on the part of the specta tors by joining in a rough-and-tumble contention for them. At a later period, it seems that an angel was considered a neces sary portion of the procession, as we And in the accounts of some of the parishes, during the early part of the sixteenth century, an item which goes to show that the hire of such an acquisition to an earthly prouos uon was onlv eight pence. At a subsequent period it was even reduced to half that s-uiii. Oa this day, likewise, the priests constructed crosst-s of palni branches, and having blessed them, disposed of them to the people, by whom they w ere considered as preventative of sickuess. It Obttivtnre at the Preseut Time In England. Althouch manv of the ceremonials peculiar to the Uoiuinh Church were especially forbid den after the Reformation, Henry VIII did not regard that of bearing palms on l'alm Sunday as objectionable. So, in 1530" ho declared that the ceremony was one that was not to lie con temned or dropped, and it was faithfully ob eerved by the clergy until the reign of his successor, Edward VI. It was then left to the inclination of the people, and soon ceased to be observed; although until "within a recent period it was. still the 'custom in some sections of England for the young people to go "palming" ou the., day preceding Talui Sun day. This ceremony consisted simply of going into the woods for slips of willow, which were placed in the hat or button-hole ; or some times a twig was torn off and placed in the mouth, and the branch carried in the hand, on returning. Small blips of willow are still to be Been in some of the interior , churches on l'alm Sunday, and it may be that the ceremony of going "palming" has not entirely ceased. At the town of Caistor, in Lincolnshire, there still exists a curious cere uiouy which is supposed to have some connection with the obsolete observance of the day, although antiquarians have not been able to trace its origin satinfactorily. A person who represents the proprietor of the neighboring estate ascends the porch of the church during the reading of the first lesson, and cracks a gad whip there several times. Ha then enters the church, and during the reading of the seoond lesson approaches the minister, holding tip right in his hand the gad-whip, to the end of which is attached a purse containing thirty pieces of silver. It Observance at the Present Day In Home. On Palm Sunday Rome is the scene of very impressive ceremonials at the present day. Thousands of foreigners, many of whom are I'roteBtants, assemble in the city to witness them. The space behind the high altar of St. l'eter's Cathedral is carpeted and draped, the altars, pictures, and crucifixes likewise being put in mourning. By 9 o'clock the spacious auditorium is filled with an eager crowd, a passage through which is forced by one of the 1'apal regiments. Then the Tope's "noble guard" arrives, followed by the diplo matic corps, and the dignitaries of the Church, who seat themselves behind the altar. There upon the Chief Sacristan enters with an armful of bleached palms, which are de posited upon the altar. At half-past 9 the entrance of the Tope is heralded by a burst of music from the choir, the soldiers presenting arms. His Holiness is seated in the scdia yestatoria, or chair of state, which is borne by twelve of his officials. He is in plain attire, his mitre being white and un ornamented. As he is borne along, the Holy Father grants a blessing to the bowing multi tude. Arrived at the throne at the further end of the church, he leaves the chair of state, and after singing and other preliminary ex ercises, commences the consecration of the palms, by reading certain prayers and in censing them. An embroidered apron is then placed over the Pope's knees, preparatory to the distri bution of the palms. The Cardinals first re ceive them, kissing the branch, as well as the right hand and knee of the Holy Father. Then come the bishops, who kiss the palm and the Pope's right knee. The mitred abbots and other ecclesiastics follow, kissing the palm and the Pope's foot. The distribution is then continued by the sacristans among the people assembled, and the ceremony, having lasted about three hours, is concluded by further prayers and chants. When all is over, the Pope is again placed in his chair of state, and carried back to a little chapel which is in communication with his residence in the Vatican. How the Way will be Observed In the city To-morrow. As usual, Palm Sunday will be celebrated in all tho Catholic churches with great solemnity. At the Cathedral, on Eighteenth street, the ceremonies will be conducted by the Right Rev. Bishop Wood, assisted by several prominent clergymen. The great attraction will be the performance of Has linger's Grand Mass, for male voices only, without instrumental accompaniment. It will be rendered by a double quartette, in cluding Messrs. C. M. Schinitz, Aaron It. Tay lor, Michael H. Cross, and live other talented amateurs. The rehearsals have been con ducted with great care, so that we may antici pate hearing this elegant composition per loruied in a manner rarely equalled. As but few of our readers other than those connected with the Catholic Church are con versant with the ceremony of blessing the palms, as it is now performed in this coun- try, we present theiu with the following synopsis, giving the English version of the prayers and chauts: After the sprinkling of holy water, the choir sings, "Jlosanua to the Son of David! iilessed is lie that conieth in the name of the Lord. O King of Israel 1 llosanna in the highest." The priest then says, "The Lord le with you," the respondent exclaiming, "And with thy spirit." This is followed by a prayer, the sub-deacon then singing a lesson from tho book of Exodus, chapters xv and xvi. The Gospel according to St. Matthew. chapter xxi, verses 1-9, is then sung by the deacon, with the usual ceremonies, alter which the blessing of the palins begins. The priest stands at the epistle corner of the altar, and says, "The Lord be with you," to which is responded, "and with, thy spirit." Then follows a prayer, interrupted by re sponses, alter which the choir sings, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts. The heavens and the earth are full of Thy glory, llosanna in the highest 1 Messed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, llosanna in the highest 1" Then comes a prayer, interrupted bv re sponses, and concluding as follows -."Bless, O Lord, we beseech Thee, these branches of the palm tree; and grant that what Thy peo ple this day corporally perform for the honor of I hy name, they may, with the greatest devo tion, spiritually accomplish, by gaining a vic tory over their enemy, and ardently lovin" works of mercy." At this point the priest SDi-inkla iha oi,a with holy water, and fumes them with incense after which another prayer is offered. The palms being thus blessed, the priest distri butes them to the clergyman in attendance and to the people, who receive them kneelinc' and kissing the palm-branch and the hand of the priest. During this distribution, an Antiphon is sung, as follows: "The Hebrew children, carrying olive branches, met our Lord, crying out, aud say ing, llosanna in the highest." Then, following a prayer, comes the proces sion. The priest having filled the censer with incense, the deacon says to tho people, "Let us go in peace. ine tiiuriler walks ahead with the smoking censer, followed by the sub-deacon, bearing a cross and accompanied on either side by uu acolyte with a burning 'onuille. Tho clergymen follow iu order, and lat of all comes the priest, with the deacon at his left, all beariug palms in their hands, and singing anthems as they proceed. Returning to the church, two or four singers leave the procession and enter, closing the door and standing wit h their faces towards those without. They then chant two verses, which are reneated bv the priest and the others without; when they again take up the strain, and it is continued in regular aiterna tion. When this is concluded, the sub-deacon knocks at tho door with the foot ot the cross, to signify the triunmhant entry, not only into Jerusalem, but into the Holy City. The door is thereupon opened and the procession enters, singing, "As our Lord entered the Holy City, the Hebrew children, declaring the resurrection of lift) with palm-branches, cried out, llosanna in the highest." The ceremony then cloBea with the celebra tic n of the Mass, all the people holding tho palms in men- nanas aunug tne reaaiug or singing ot tne rassion. AWBINGS, WAGON COVERS, BAGS, ETC.
