Wikipedia
Passion Sunday
Passion Sunday is the fifth Sunday of Lent, marking the beginning of Passiontide. In 1969, the Roman Catholic Church removed Passiontide from the liturgical year of the Novus Ordo, but it is still observed in the Extraordinary Form, the Personal Ordinariates, the Anglican Communion, and by Lutherans. In Scotland, the day is known as Care Sunday.
ChatGPT
passion sunday
Passion Sunday is the fifth Sunday in Lent in the traditional Christian calendar and marks the start of the two-week period known as Passiontide, which concludes with Easter Sunday. This day signifies the beginning of the final phase of the season of Lent, focusing on the Passion and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The church crosses are traditionally veiled on this day to symbolize a period of mourning leading up to Easter. However, in many modern Christian churches, this day is often combined with Palm Sunday, which celebrates Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem.

Etymology and Origins
Passion Sunday
Although this should properly be the first day of what is called Passion Week, Palm Sunday is in a sense a feast day, in allusion to the triumphant entry of Christ into Jerusalem. The Sunday previous is therefore set apart for a general commemoration of the Passion--all crosses, statues, and paintings in the churches being draped in purple, with a view to concentrating the attention of the worshippers on the sufferings of the Redeemer.
