Septuagesima Sunday 2021
This week is the feast of St. Agatha whose veil is a precious relic that has protected the city of Catania from various cataclysms throughout history. The significance of wearing a veil is explained. Septuagesima season is a transition from the Christmas to the Easter cycle and an immediate preparation for Lent. It is a time for the catechumens and penitents especially. We recall the story of Genesis and the fall of Adam and Eve whose crime is inherited by us and known as original sin. This week examines the effects of original sin in our lives so we are ready to combat these vices as soon as we reach Ash Wednesday.
