IT MAKES NO SENSE TO WEAR ROSE COLORED VESTMENTS ON LAETARE/REJOICE SUNDAY IN LENT IF THE PROPER INTROIT IS NOT SUNG OR CHANTED FOR THAT MASS!

 If your priest wore rose colored vestments for Laetare Sunday, did you also hear the proper Entrance Chant, either in Latin or English that starts off with the word Laetare/Rejoice! If you did let me know. If you did not hear Laetare/ Rejoice, why in the Name of God and all that is holy, did your priest wear rose colored vestments?


Rejoice, O Jerusalem; and gather round, all you who love her;
rejoice in gladness, after having been in sorrow; exult and be
replenished with the consolation flowing from her motherly
bosom. I rejoiced when it was said unto me: "Let us go to the
house of the Lord."

So we aren't forgotten over here in our Eastern Byzantine corner:

March 26 is the feast of Mid-Lent, and the leave-taking of the Annunciation.

March 30 is the fourth Sunday of the Great Fast, on which we commemorate Saint John Climacus and reflect on the Ladder of Divine Ascent. My priest wore a purple phelonian (equiv. of a chasuble).

Do you all commemorate St. Gregory Palamas on the second Sunday?

Mark. Yes, we do.

That is very interesting to me. Is that universal in Eastern Catholicism? And do you also commemorate St. Mark of Ephesus?
