Passiontide Photopost 2022 (Part 1)

Every year when we do the photopost series of Passiontide veils, we get one or two contributions that come with a note saying that it was the first time the church had put up the veils since the post-Conciliar reform. This year, that note comes from the beautiful neo-gothic Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Denver, Colorado. We should all take encouragement in seeing this beautiful Catholic tradition gaining more and more ground each year.

and after.

We have already received so many pictures from all over the world that there will definitely be two more posts in this series before we move on to Palm Sunday and Holy Week, but there is always room for more, so if you have photos you would like to contribute, there is plenty of time to send them in to photopost@newliturgicalmovement.org, and remember to include the name and location of the church. Evangelize through beauty!
