The
rciicious ceremonies of the Inst week of
Lent,
or Holy week, as It U styled in tho
Church calendar?, are perhnps more Impressive
than those of any other (season of thp year,
lielore the Retormation they were common to
the whole Christian world, but sluce thttt date
tbey bave been mostly restricted to Catholic
countries, although by the Protestant Episco
pal Church many of them have been preserved,
in a aomcwhat modified form. This great reli
gious Beason commences on Palm Sunday, and
clones with the feBtival of Easter. The ceremo
nies and traditions of Palm Sunday were de
fccribed at length In TnB Evening Tkleuhaimi
of Saturday last. This afternoon we give some
account of tboe pertainiun to the last four days
ot the week, known as Holy Wednesday,
Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy
Baturday.
Thi "Tenebriv" of Holy Week.
Alter tbc ceremonies of Palm Sunday, the
next noticeable event of the week is the
Hinging ot the first Miserere, a service which
is frequently known as the Tenebrm, from the
darkness which pervades the sanctuary during
its celebration. It consists in t be chnuting, ut
the close of the services, of the vulgate version
of the 60th Psalm, commencinir with the verse
"Miserere mei, Beus, secundum magnam miseri
cordiam tuam" "Have mercy on me, O God!
according to Thy great mercy.'1 The first per
formance ot this ceremony takes place to-morrow
(Wednesday) alternuon, at about lour
o'clock, and it is repeated successively on
Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, tho two
lolloping days.
As performed at the great Cathedral of St.
Peter at Rome, this is sn exquisite musical
composition, the accompaniment of the organ
and the voices of one ot the finest choir in trie
world rendering it cxiremety grand and Im
pressive. At St. Peter's alone ha it ever been
presented in a manner that was successful
without any qualification. The present rendi
tion of it originated on Holy Wednesday, in
the year 1519, when tho customary service was
vnauted in a ne and entirely unusual manner,
the verses being sung alternately in symphony.
Various composers afterwards essayed fresh
adaptations ot the Miserere, but for a long time
the most successful was that of Greeorio Allegri,
a Roman who entered the papal college ot
singers in 1G2H. 11 was finally eclipsed by toe
corupobitlun of l(al; but since 1821 thu?e of
Bairn, Bai, and Allegri have been sung succes
sively on the three days of Tenebrce, the. latter
two, at times, being blended together. The
ditletent verses are sune alternately in harmony
and plain chant Irom the beginning to the end.
The performance of the Miserere is acooiu-
f anted by tfce following solemn ceremonial:
u addition to the six lights which are always
to be lound on the altar, a ttiaugular candela
brum supporting fifteen tapers is placed upon
the epistle side, the three branches of the can
dlestick being typical of the Holy Trinity, and
the fifteen liahtsof our Saviour and the Prophets
who preceded Him. At the conclusion of the
recital of euch Psalm, one of the fifteen lights
is extinguished: and, fiua'ly, during the sdngiug
of the lienedictus, the lights on the altar und
those above the rail are also extiueuised, that
at the top of the triangular stand alone remain
ing, to typify our Saviour as the lignt of the
world. The Brnedicius concluded, the only
remaining light is hidden beneath the altar for
a time, and during the gloom wtiicn
then pervades the sanctuary, this solemn
service of the Miserere is performed. A short
prayer follows, and then is heard a rumbling
noise, to represent the commotion which ail
nature underwent at the crucifixion of the Son
ct God. The extinguishing of the fourteen lights
represents the death of the prophets, and that
of the other liebts on tbe altar the moral dark
ness into which the Jews were plunged by the
death of Christ; while the candle which typifies
our Saviour is not extinguished, bat merely
hidden for a time, in token of the tact that
tilthougb His humanity underwent the pains of
death, His divinity was not thereby subjected
to a similar penalty, but enabled 11 im to rise
again from the dead to typify which resurrec
tion, the bidden candle U restored to its place
on the altar, at the end of the service.
In order to declare more appropriately her
concern for the bufferings of the Saviour and.
the sins of the human race, in the office ot the
Vertebras the Church lays aside every expression
of joy and festivity. Those impressive invoca
tions in which trie Lord is sought to open the
lips of His people to sing Hisprais are omitted,
us is also the doxoloey, Gloria Baiit. The
blessing ot God upon His people, lo the Bonn
nus vobiscum, is not asked; nor are the people
Invited to unite in the penitential prayers, or to
express their assent thereto by the customary
acclamation of Amen.
In this city, although the lenebrce will be
celebrated, especially at the Cathedral, with
preat solemnity, no attempt is madetochuut
the version oi tne Miserere in use at St. Peter'.
Home. Neither does the choir participate in
the ceremony, as is there done, the entire office
being performed at ttie altar by the students of
tne ineoiogicai seminary.
Maundy Thursday.
The day before Good Friday, which is pro-
erly styled Good Thursday, is generally
nown as Maundy Thuisday, from the distribu
tion or looa in Daxteie, or "maunds."' it, is
likewise In England sometimes deaWnatert
"Shere Thursday," from a former custom of the
priesthood ot stieanug tueir nair on that dav.
The old-time ceremonies of the dav are thin
irreverently described by Gooae, in his transla
tion ot the "i'opisn Kingdom " or Neoirortrius:
"And here the monks tUolr maundies make with suu-
dry solemn riles,
And signs of great humility, aud wondrous pleasant

The priesthood of Enslaintnrinr to the Re
formation, were, indeed, zealous observers of
ine ceremonies peculiar to Maundy Thursday
An old writer, speaking of Cardinal Wolsey,
eays that m 15.10, at Peterboroueh Abbey, he
made ma maund in onr T.aiiv' i'lmnel.
having filty-nlne poor men whose feet he washed
and kissed; and after he had wiped them, he
f;ave every one of the poor men twelve pence
n money, three ells of good cnva to make
them shirts, a pair oi new shoes, a cast of red
herrings, fuid three wuite herrings; and one of
these had two sntuings." tho number of poor
men selected hy the Cardinal on whom to per
form this nuruiiiuunir omee. was in eorrespon
dence with his years. Nor were the clergy
irn in their observance or the day. for it is
recorded that, a.Vmt the same lime, the Earl of
Northumberland, tn aiaunoy innrsuay, gave
in fin tnnnv noor men as he was years of ace.

platter of meat, a cup of wine, and a purse of
pennies, equal in number to the recipients of
hischsrity; in addition to which miscellaneous
gifts were distributed in the n'ime of his coun
tess and wins.
The crremony of washing the feet of the poor
was likewise practised by the sovereigns of
England, and was even continued by them after
the establishment of the Anglican Church. Tho
ceremouy was performed by Queen Elizabeth in
pcron, when in her thirty-ninth year, at the
palnce of Greenwich, but not until alter it had
first been performed by the yeomen of the laun
dry and the sub-Almoner. After washing each
foot the Queen, on this occasion, made the sign
of tbe cross above the toes, and then imprinted
upon It a royal kiss. A distribution of money,
clothes, and eatables followed this act ofhumili
tion. The last time that this ceremony was per
formed in all its details by an English sovereign
was in the reign of James II. By his successor,
King William, the ceremony was assigned to
the Lord High Almoner, who was frequently an
ArchDinhop, and by him It was performed lor
many years thereafter. But the ceremonv has
lor a long time past been discontinued, and since
the accc-session of CRiecri Victoria even the
distribution of provisions has been omitted, an
additional sum ol money being given in their
stead. In Austria, however, It is said that tho
rite is still performed by the Emperor, with the
accompaniment of great solemnities.
Tlie Ceremonies of Maundy Thursday
at Home.
At Rome the ceremonies of Maundy Thursday
ate still kept up with all the circumstance
attending them in the olden time.
The blessing of the oils, one of the principal
ceremonies, takes place during the perionn
ancc of the mass at Ht. Peter's, tuc Pope, or one
ol the bishops officiating. Tnree different kinds
of oils are then consectuted. One is the oil of
catechumens, used In baptism, in the consecra
tion of churches and altars, in the ordination of
priest", and in the coronation of sovereitrus of
the Catholic faith; another is tnat used fn ad
ministering extreme unction to tho-e who a.-e
at the point of death; while the third U called
tho sacrei chrism, being compounded of oil an i
the balm of Gilead or ot the West Indies, and is
used in confirmation, in the consecration of
bishops, patens, and chalices, and in the blessing
ot bells. On this occasion, it is prescribed in
the ritual that, in addition to the customary
participants in the celebration of the mass,
there shall be present twelve priests, seven
deacons, and seven sub-deacons, all of them
arrayed in vestments of white. The oil for tho
sick is brought in by a sub-deacon, and exor
cised and blessed by the bishop, who sits before
a table iacmg the altar. The mass then pro
ceeds, two deacons meanwhile bringing in the
balm and the oil tor the chrism and the cate
chumens. The balm is first blessed by the
bi3hop, and then mixed with some oil; alter
wbinh the bishop and the twelve priests breathe
over the vessel containing the compound three
times, in the form ot a cros. The blessing fol
lows, and then the bishop and the twelve priest-",
each in uccesin, s-.tlute the vessel three times,
saying, "Hail, holy Chrism," and afterwards
kb.s it. In the same manner the oil ol cate
chumens is consecrated.
Another ceremonial is the silencing of the
bells in the SKtine Chapel, just alter the sing
ing ot the 0;oria in Etcelsis in me performance
of the mass. From that moment until the sing
ing of the same canticle on the morning of Hoiy
Saturday, all the bells In Rome are mute, save
at the Papiil benediction. As a substitute the
schools and hotels employ wooden clappers for
the ciii-tonmry signals.
The ceremony of washing the feet is conducted
by the Pope in person, attired in plain white,
with a red cope and a small white skull-cap.
He also walks into the churco, instead ot being
earned, as on P.ilm and Easter Sundays, as the
object of the ceremonies is to typify the humili
ation of our Saviour ut the Last Supper. Ab nit
one o'clock, the general papal benediction Is
pronounced irom tne Daieony over tne mam
entrance to St. I'eter's. a'ter winch the Holy
Father proceed-i to the northern transept of the
church, which is appropriately draped and em
bellished lor the occasion. As he is about to
seat himself lu his chair of stale, thirteen
bishops enter, dressed in white, with high cips.
Twelve of the-e represent the Apostles whose
feet were washed by Christ, and iho thirteenth
an angel who is said to have appeared to Gre
gory the Gieat, while in the performance of
an act ot charily. These bishops are seated on
a lmh bench along the west wall of the church.
and after the singing and the reading ot pas
sages of Scripture, the Pope proceeds to wash
their feet. His cone is replaced bv an embroi
dered apron, and a towel is lastcued to hi waist.
He then slightly washes and kisses the feet of the
thirtecu bihotis, presenting each ot them titter
wards with a towel and a nosegay. The Pope
then washes his hands, resume? his red cope,
and is ready lor the next act ot humiliation.
This consists in his serving the thirteen bishops
at table in a larae room above the portico. He
is assisted in this by several prelates, but with
his own band helps them to the dishes and
pours out their water and wine.
Besides the washing of the feet of the thirteen
bishops by the Pope in person, there is an
establishment in one ot tne most populous
quarters of Rome called the Irin'da de1 Belie
tjrini, to which are udmitted, for a similar pur
pose, an poor persons coming irom a greater
distance than sixty miles, and who also bring
with them a certificate Irom their bishop. The
ceremony takes place on the evening ot Maundy
Thursday, the men being admitted to one apart-
nieut and tlie women to another; ladies ot dis
tinction pcrlorming the act ot humiliation in
the latter, in the place of the gentlemen be
longing to a certaiu charitable iraternlty who
officiate lu tho former. Although the 60-called
pilgrims who undergo this ceremony are gene
rally very poor, and as rauged in appearance as
the beggars in the streets ot Rome.it will be
observed by a spectator that their feet have
already been subjected to a cleansing process.
and the ceremony is not quite so obnoxious to a
sensitive person as it might otherwise be. The
operation is repeated again on the evenings of
Good Friday and Holy Saturday, the pilgrims
meanwhile neing hospitably entcrtaiued, and
dismissed at the end with small presents of
money.
A noticeaoif icauire or st. reter s on mis
day is the great number of priests sitting in
confessionals, and ready to grant absolution lo
all who come to thcui. For the purpose of
granting absolution lor those sins which are
beyond the sphere of the ordinary confession,
tne grana caruiuai rennemiary likewise sits
during the afternoon.
The ceremonies at the great Cathedral are
concluded wuh the chanting of ihe Miserere,
the stripping of all the altars, and the extin
guishing ot the hundred lamps wliica us.ially
burn around the tomb of St. Peter, when a
general gloom pervades the monstrous church.
Tbe Observance of Mauudy Thursday lu
tlie City.
Maundy Thursday will be observed at the
Cuthedrul In ibis city with all the solemnities
otteudiug it at Rome, as far as is possible. The
R-.ght Rev. Bishon Wood will officiate in persou,
assisted by the twelve priests, seven deacon,
and seven sub-dencous, as required by the
ritual. A general invitation is likewise ex
tended to all the clergymen in the diocese to
attend the ceremonies, but mauy of them will
liud It itnposHioie to comply, on account of the
peculiar pervices which tuke place in their own
churches.
A solemn pontifical high mass will be cele
brated at half-past 11) o'clock in the morning,
during which two hosts will be consecrated.
one being reserved for the next dav. when there
is no consecration. This reserved host is placed
in a separate chalice, and carried in solemn pro
cession, with tlie accomniiniment of blazing
lights and turning censers, to a side altar, called
t.h reoositorv. which is adorned with lights.
ornaments, rare flowers, and sweet-soieiung
plants. The repositories in the different
chuichee lu which the reserved host is placed
arc viatted during the day by great numbers of
people, who go from church to church for that
purpose. The consecration of the holy oils, and
the washing of tho feet of a number of persons
selected tor the purpoie, will be performed by
the iVight Eev. Blahop, in the manner already
described. 8o, also, the altars are divested of
their ornaments, and the bells are rung during
the Gioria in Etcelsis, but from that moment
are silent until the mine hour on Holy Saturday.
Good Friday
is a holy day which is still quite as much
respected In Protestant as In Catholic countries.
In England, on this day, as on Christmas, all
business is suspended, aod services are held in
the Established churches, with more than tho
customary solemnities. 'Prior to the Reforma
tion it was the custom for two priests to bear
around the altar, with doleful chants, a dressod
image ot the Saviour, mounted on a crucifix.
It was then placed tenderly on the ground, and
the priestsin succession threw themselves beside
it, and kissed its hands and feet, with sighs
and teers. Then the people, eaeo one bringing
a small gift, as grain or eggs, came to worship
the representation of the dead Saviour; after
which the image was burled, along with the
"singing bread," in the alare ol torches and the
fumes of Incense, the crave being subsequently
surewed with flowers. On this day, also, the
king was accustomed to bless a number of rings,
w'hich were distributed among the people, by
whom they were regarded as possessing the
power to cure the cramp. This ceremony is
supposed to hove originated in the lact mat for
many years a ring belonging to Edward the
Couiessor. which was believed to possess a
similar efficucj, was preserved In Westminster
Abbey.
The most prominent of the present popular
observances oMne dav in England is the eating
of hot cross-buns. This is supposed to have
originated in the superstition which prevailed
from the earliest times, that bread baked on
Good Friday and kept throughout the ensuing
year was a certain cure, when grated in water,
for almost any complaint, and particularly for
the diarrhwa. These hot cross-buns are hawked
about the streets during the livelong day, with
the accompanying cry ol
"One a penny, buns;
Two a penny, buns;
unes penny, two a penny
Hot cross-buus !"
The hot cross-bun is unknown on the conti
nent ol Europe in connection witli Good Friday,
but in this country it is frequently encountered
on the table, although never hawked about the
streets.
AtRomoGood Frldav Is religiously observed
in the same solemn manner as Maundy Thurs
day. Tho Sistlne Chapel has a look ot gloomy
grandeur, resulting from the desolation of the
altars and papal throne. The cardinals wear
purple mourning dresses, the bishops black
stockings, while the customary rings are dis
carded by boih. The Pope, who Is attired in a
red cope, omits his blessing, and, talcing off his
shoes, approaches a crucifix partially unveiled,
giving it the homage of a kiss. After the chant
ing of Ihe last Miserere in the Sistine Chanel,
the Holy Father, accompanied by tlie cardinals
and other clergy, proceeds to St. Peter's, In order
to venerate the relics of the True Cross, the
Lance, and the Votlo tiairfc. But, excepting
the silence of tbe Dells, everything without the
churches goes on as usual in the way of business
and plentiure-feeking.
The services at the Cathedral In this city
begin at i) o'clock in tbe morning, and, as at
Rome, are invested wi'h great solemnity. The
celebrants of the miss, attired in black vest
ments, and without lights or incense, prostrate
themselves before the altar, which the acolytes
cover with a linen cloth. During the celebra
tion of the mass, no liohts are used, as on other
occasions, nor is the blessing asked or the Book
imprinted with a kiss. After the prayers the
bishon put off his vestment, and taking a veiled
crots fioru the altar, uncovers tho top of it, at
the epi'tle corner, siuging, "Jcct lignum Cruris"
"Behold the wood of the cross." He then goes
to the right side of the altar, where he uncovers
the right arm of the ctoss, making the same
exclamation; and proceeding thence to the
middle of the altar, the entire cross is uncov
ered, and the cce lignum repented, as before.
The cross is then placed before the altar, where
it is adored by bishop, clergymen, and people
in turn, each one kneeling thrice uoon both
knees and kissing the leet ol the crucl'ix. This
ceremony is accompanied and followed by alter
nate chants from the opposite sides ol the
choir. When the adoration is almost finished
the candles ou the altar are lighted, and at its
conclusion ihe cross is restored to its plac. A
procession then passes to the repository, in
Which was placed the hot coim-crated on the
previous day, which is brought back in the
same manner in which it was carried there.
Placed aguin on the al ar, the host is turned
with incense, as well twi the altar; and. after
some other ceremonials, it is elevated so that
all Ihe people may behold it. Other ceremo
nies, to describe whicb in detail we have
neither spnee nor time, loilow, and the services
are concluded as ou the previous day.
Holy Saturday
is the close ol the Lenten seuson, and, in some
ot the services peculiar to it, punakes ot the
joy and festivitv of Easter Sunday. At Rome,
and elsewhere in Catholic countries, the altars
are aain clothed with their oruameuta, end
tieain the bells ring out, after a silence ot two
full days. The kiudliug aud blessiug of the
"new fire" and. paschal candle, at Rome, is
attended with much ceremony. At the
beginning of the mass, the chief
sacristan strikes a fire by means of a
flint, with which, having blessed It, he lights a
triple candle, to sigmty the light of Christ and
that the laith of ihe blessed Trinity proceeds
from His resurrectiou irom the dead. A quan
tity of water lor baptism is likewise blessed,
together with five grains of incense. These last
are affixed to the paschal caudle, as It Is called,
representing the body of Christ, the grains of
iccense be.ug typical of the aromatic spices
wherewith His body was embalmed in the
sepulchre. The paschal candle Is lighted from
the new fire, to typify His resurrection; and
afterwards all the lamps and caudles are lighted,
to signify that the resurrection ot the Head ot
tbe CJiurch will be followed by that ot all tbe
niembrs. It was formerly the custom In Rome
to relight all the Ores in the city from the new
or holy tire, but this ceremony is nr longer con-
iiuueu.
After the services, the Cardinal Vicar proceeds
to the baptistry ot St. Peter's, where he blesses
and exorcises the water lor baptism, sprinsnug
a portion ot it on tbe people. The ordination ot
priests aud deacons is afterwards performed,
und tbe rite ot baptiem administered to tne
catechumens, or recent professors of Chris
tianity. Previous lo this last ceremouy, the
baptismal lout is blessed in an Impressive uqu
mysterious manner. The water theretu is divided
in the form ot a cross; it Is touched with the
huno, a prayer being uttered that it may beireed
Irom the influences of all evil spirits; the sign
ot the cross is then made upon it three limes, as
a blessing in the name ot the Holy Trinity ; por
tions of it are thrown towards the tour quarters
ot tho world, to signify that the grace of bap
tism extends to all alike; it is breathed upou
three limes in the form ot the cro-s, that it may
be infused with the Holy Spirit; the pascUal
candle is dipped into it three times,- with the
accompanying praver that the Holy Ghost may
oescemi upon it, as upon the water's oi Jordan
at the baptism of Christ: and hua'.ly holy oil
and ebrisra are commingled with 1t, to ngnitiy
that those who receive the rite of baptism are
consecrated to God and have imparted to them
the strength to wiestle with and overcome all
the enemies ot the toul.
At the Caihedral in this citv, the service! of
the day begin at 8 o'clock lu the morning. The
ceremonies jU8t described are observed, and
then the litany and the mass are sung. During
the siugme of the lituuy, which is performed by
two chanteis in the middle of the choir, ana
atierwards repeated bv both sides, the officials
He prostrate before the altar, and all the others
present kueel. At the reading of the gospel
incense is used, to represeut the perfumes car
ried to the sepulchre ol Christ by the women;
but no lights are can-led. as nt. ntiior times, aud
the creed is omitted, because the friends and
followers of Christ did not yet b-lieve in His
resurrection. The offertory, the kiss of peace,
and tne uutiphou or communion, gre likewise
omitted, became the eucbtirlst was not partaken
o at this mans by the faithtol, who waited until
l aster Sunday. '
The services ou this day, as well as on E ister
Suudiy, are conciudsd with, the following
anthem:
