Third Sunday Of Easter
The Third Sunday of Easter is the day that occurs two weeks after the Christian celebration of Easter. Western Christianity In the historical Roman Rite of the Catholic Church, this day was officially known as the Second Sunday after Easter. It was also nicknamed Misericordia Sunday and Good Shepherd Sunday. The "Misericordia Sunday" designation was due to the incipit ("Misericórdia Dómini") of the introit assigned to this day's liturgy. The full text of the introit in its original Latin was: "Misericórdia Dómini plena est terra, allelúia: verbo Dómini caeli firmáti sunt, allelúia, allelúia. Exsultáte, iusti, in Dómino: rectos decet collaudátio." This introit is based on verses 5, 6, and 1 of Psalm 33. This day was called "Good Shepherd Sunday" due to the Gospel reading traditionally assigned to it (). In the 1970 revision of the ''Roman Missal'', this day was designated the "Third Sunday of Easter." The "Misericórdia Dómini" introit for this Sunday was swapped w ...

Dedication Of A Church
Churches under the authority of a bishop (e.g., Orthodox, Roman Catholic, or Anglican) are usually dedicated by the bishop in a ceremony that used to be called that of consecration, but is now called that of dedication. For the Catholic Church, the rite of dedication is described in the ''Caeremoniale Episcoporum'', chapters IX-X, and in the ''Roman Missals Ritual Masses for the Dedication of a Church and an Altar. In the Church of England, a consecrated church may only be closed for worship after a legal process (a "pastoral scheme"). Consecration Early customs The custom of solemnly dedicating or consecrating buildings as churches or chapels set apart for Christian worship must be almost as old as Christianity itself. When we come to the earlier part of the 4th century allusions to and descriptions of the consecration of churches become plentiful. This service is probably of Jewish origin: the hallowing of the tabernacle and of its furniture and ornaments (Exodus 40); the dedica ...
