ONLY WORN TWICE DURING THE YEAR:

GAUDATE SUNDAY –

THE THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT

LAETARE SUNDAY –

THE FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT.

SYMBOLISES A BREAK FROM THE TWO SEASONS OF PREPARATION AND ALSO AS A REMINDER THAT THE END OF THAT SEASON IS APPROACHING AND THAT WE SHOULD RESUME DOING ANY THINGS THAT WE MAY HAVE PROMISED TO DO BUT HAVE LAPSED FROM DOING..
