Sunday 21^st March Anno Domini 2010

Fifth Sunday of Lent
(Passiontide begins)

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.

(A paraphrase of Philippians 3:8-14 writen by Isaac Watts in 1707)

Christ Being Nailed to the Cross Painting from an Ethiopian Gospel Book.

It’s the Fifth Sunday of Lent previously called "Passion Sunday", this Sunday marks the beginning of Passiontide, a deeper time of Lent. PASSIONTIDE is the last two weeks of Lent, when the readings and prayers of the liturgy focus on the Passion of Our Lord. The word "passion", in the Christian sense, does not mean an intense emotion; it refers to the historical events of Jesus' suffering and death. Passiontide is evidently even more ancient than Lent. In Traditional Catholic and Prayer Book Anglican circles, Passion Sunday continues to refer to the fifth Sunday in Lent; Passion Sunday is sometimes called 1st Sunday of Passion Time, with the 2nd Sunday being Palm Sunday.
