The Royal Banners Forward Go
The Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday
April 5, 2020
Holy Week begins with The Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, we won't be able to reenact Jesus' triumphal procession into Jerusalem. However, we created this virtual Palm Sunday procession with photos from years past and the traditional hymn, "All glory, laud, and honor." Feel free to sing along! All glory, laud, and honor
The liturgy then turns to the Passion Gospel. We hear the ancient account of Jesus' final days - his arrest, trial, and crucifixion.
The organ postlude is a setting of the classic Holy Week hymn, Vexilla regis proderunt, "The royal banners forward go." (The Hymnal 1982, #162) This ancient plainsong is paired with a 6th century Latin text extolling the glory of the cross:
The royal banners forward go,
the cross shines forth in mystic glow
where he through whom our flesh was made,
in that same flesh our ransom paid.

The hymn sets the stage for the drama of the Triduum - the great three days of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Great Vigil of Easter. We invite you to journey with us as we recall God's wondrous acts in salvation history.
