There are no special ceremonies on Passion Sunday, but as it is the beginning of the season known as Passiontide, all statues, pictures, and crucifixes in the church and sacristy are to be covered with a plain purple veil (except the Stations of the Cross). This may be done on the previous evening. No figure or ornament is allowed on these veils. No veil is to be removed under any pretext, except from the crucifixes on Good Friday, until the "Gloria" of the Mass on Holy Saturday.
