puzzleannie:
empty holy water fonts and draping or removing statues and crucifix used to be the custom beginning with Passion Sunday, which used to be the 5th Sunday of Lent. It is now left up to each bishop to say if and when this custom is observed, usually happens now after the Holy Thursday liturgy in the evening. another custom is no instrumental music during lent. Even if statues are draped, at least the processional crucifix must remain so that a crucifix is present during Mass, on that you are absolutely correct.

No, it’s not up to each bishop – although many bishop believe it is.

No it is not. The CDW has issued a ruling prohibiting the emptying of the Holy Water fonts on any day outside those specified by Canon Law ( the triidium)
