Passiontide
It is customary in some places to veil images, statues, crosses, and crucifixes with violet veils during Passiontide. This should be done on the Eve of Lent V.Colour Note: Some places use the traditional colour of passiontide red during the last two weeks of Lent. Passiontide Red is a deep, dark shade of red which is more crimson than the scarlet used for Whitsun.
Gloria Patri: The BCP instructs that, at the Eucharist, the Gloria Patri is ommitted following the psalm in Passiontide (see p. xlix). For the offices, it is traditional to omit the Gloria Patri from the canticles and preces (but not the psalms) during this season.
