Just a question: are you speaking of the EF or the OF?I have often heard of Palm Sunday or Passion Sunday, but I hadn’t noticed before the construction “Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion.” In its specificity, it seems to imply that there may be other Sundays of the Lord’s Passion, or perhaps other Palm Sundays.
Is there an “official” name, such that one of these is more, and others less, correct?
Doesn’t matter–the official name in both is essentially the Latin construction of what the OP posted in English. The EF is Dominica II Passionis seu in Palmis. The OF is Dominica in Palmis de Passione. The EF recognizes that Passiontide, a sub-season within Lent, began on the preceding Sunday, which does not happen in the OF. Otherwise they both mention the Passion and the Palms.Just a question: are you speaking of the EF or the OF?
Yes I know but there is a difference between the two. Plus, the “old” (at least before the 1955 “revised” (more like “rewritten” but that’s for another thread) Holy Week rites made their appearance) name was officially Dominica in Palmis.Doesn’t matter–the official name in both is essentially the Latin construction of what the OP posted in English.

To expand upon what Chatter163 has said, in the E.F. of the Roman Rite, the fifth Sunday of Lent is known as “Sunday of the Passion” and it begins the sub-season (within Lent) of Passiontide. The sixth Sunday of Lent is known as “the 2nd Sunday of the Passion, or in Palms”.Doesn’t matter–the official name in both is essentially the Latin construction of what the OP posted in English.

OF. Although I was also interested to read the responses about the EF.Just a question: are you speaking of the EF or the OF?
You might also note that the official name for Good Friday is “Good Friday of the Lord’s Passion”.I have often heard of Palm Sunday or Passion Sunday, but I hadn’t noticed before the construction “Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion.” In its specificity, it seems to imply that there may be other Sundays of the Lord’s Passion, or perhaps other Palm Sundays.

Actually, it is simply Friday of the Lord’s Passion, Feria VI de Passione Domini. The adjective Good is strictly an English language descriptor.You might also note that the official name for Good Friday is “Good Friday of the Lord’s Passion”.
It might seem that way – as far as English translation is concerned – but the Latin title of “Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion” is from 1969, if I’m not mistaken.I have observed this and to my experience, these titles seem to be a recent construction, in that they only came about in the last 10 years. It used to be Passion (Palm) Sunday.
