PASSION WEEK

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 888 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PASSION WEEK , the fifth
week
  in Lent, beginning with
Passion
  Sunday (dominica passions or de passione domini), so called from very early times because with it begins the more
special
  commemoration of Christ's
passion
 . Passion
week
  is often incorrectly identified with Holy week (q.v.). In the
north
  of
England
  Passion Sunday was formerly known as Carle or Carling Sunday, a name corrupted from " care," in allusion to the sorrowful season which the day heralds. It was the universal custom in medieval
England
  to eat on this Sunday a
grey
  pea steeped and fried in butter, which came to be called from its association " Carling Nut."
