Holy Week, the holiest week in the Christian calendar, is a moveable observance celebrated by all Christian denominations. In Eastern Christianity, also known as Great Week, it follows Great Lent and Lazarus Saturday, commencing on Palm Sunday evening and ending on Great Saturday evening. In Western Christianity, it marks Lent's final week, starting on Palm Sunday and concluding on Holy Saturday.
In 1955, the Roman Rite renamed Palm Sunday to Second Sunday in Passiontide or Palm Sunday. This followed the pre-1955 convention where it was simply known as Palm Sunday.
Pope John XXIII reduced the Feast of the Seven Sorrows of Mary to a commemoration with the 1960 Code of Rubrics.
The Tridentine Mass calendar of 1962, still permitted under certain circumstances as of 2007, gives Our Lady of Sorrows a commemoration within the Friday liturgy.
The Feast of the Seven Sorrows of Mary, celebrated on the Friday before Palm Sunday, was removed from the General Roman Calendar in 1969 to avoid duplication with the September feast.
The Roman Rite reverted the name of Second Sunday in Passiontide or Palm Sunday back to Palm Sunday in 1971.
In 1999, the Enchiridion Indulgentiarum granted plenary indulgence once a day in specific cases within the Roman Catholic Church.
Pope John Paul II's 2002 edition of the Roman Missal provided an alternative collect for the Friday before Palm Sunday, effectively granting the Lenten celebration of Our Lady of Sorrow the rank of memorial.
The 2007 document Summorum Pontificum outlined circumstances under which observing the Tridentine Mass calendar of 1962 is permitted.
Until Easter 2011, the official English text during the Easter Proclamation was "Christ our Light", which changed to "The Light of Christ" after 2011.
