The fourth Sunday in Lent, coming up this Sunday, March 11, is known as Laetare Sunday. Laetare means rejoice in Latin, and the name is taken from the days Introit. (An introit is a psalm or antiphon sung or said during the opening of Holy Eucharist.)
Sundays introit starts with the words "Laetare Jerusalem" from Isaiah 66:10
.
Laetare Sunday, also sometimes called Refreshment Sunday, serves as a break, about midway through the penitential Lenten season, an opportunity for one day to "rejoice" and look forward, with hope, to Easter. The readings often include uplifting storiesin the Catholic church the parable of Jesus feeding the 5,000 with loaves and fishes served also as a kind of literal refreshment.
Flowers are used on the altar, and priests may wear rose-colored vestments, though Trinitys clergy will not. The tradition of rose vestments may stem from an ancient Catholic tradition in which the pope sent golden roses to heads of state on the fourth Sunday of Lent.
