Catholic Culture: Veiling of Statues

Last Saturday night we veiled our statues in church.

A wonderful Catholic tradition in the Latin rite.

"Coeremoniale Episcoporum", liber secundus, caput XX, nn. 3 et 4 :

"Ad primas autem Vesperas Dominicae, quae de Passione dicitur, cooperiantur, antequam Officium inchoetur, omnes Cruces et imagines Saluatoris nostri Iesu Christi per Ecclesiam; et super altare nullae ponantur imagines Sanctorum.

"Cantores uero ab hac Dominica quinta Quadragesimae usque ad Pascha, excepta feria quinta in Coena Domini, non utantur cantu figurato, sed Gregoriano".
