Feast
Chair of St Peter
An ancient Roman feast honoring not a piece of furniture but the teaching authority of St Peter and his successors. Ignatius of Antioch already in 107 called the Church of Rome 'the one presiding in love.'
Lord, keep your Church firm on the rock you have set under it.
A feast ranks below a solemnity and above a memorial.
About Lent
Lent is the forty days of preparation for Easter, beginning on Ash Wednesday. The Church asks three things of it: prayer, fasting and almsgiving. The Alleluia is set aside until the Easter Vigil, and altars are left unadorned.
Why white?
White is worn at Christmas and Easter, and on feasts of the Lord, Mary, and saints who were not martyred. It is the color of joy and of light.
