Palm Sunday processions in Minnesota during the olden days
before global warming were almost always truncated and strictly
an indoor phenomenon because there was too much piled up
snow, even in April to allow any walking out of doors.
 
The fun thing for Palm Sunday was always the procession in
red vestments - cope for presider, and dalmatic and tunicle
for deacon and subdeacon.  Then there was the dramatic 
changeover to Lenten Purple - chasuble, dalmatic, and tunicle
simultaneously with a quick change of the high altar frontal
from red to purple.  The clergy had to be quick change artists.
It was a real workout for the altar guild people, among them
Jeannette Piccard (one of the Philadelphia Eleven), as well.
 
For this former Methodist boy, it was all rather dazzling to be
a member of Saint Paul's on-the-Hill, Saint Paul, MN.
