Tempus liturgicum
Holy Week 2012 Wales
From Sunday, 1 April 2012 to Sunday, 8 April 2012. The Sunday readings are from Year B, the weekdays from Year II (why).
Holy Week opens on Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord, in red. Its last days, from the evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday to Easter Sunday, are the Sacred Paschal Triduum. No Mass is celebrated on Good Friday, nor on Holy Saturday until the Easter Vigil.
The 1962 Missal keeps the same days with the Holy Week rites as reformed in 1955; on Good Friday its colour is black where the Ordinary Form uses red.
