The veiling of the cross was common practice already in the 7th Century, and it varied widely as to when it happened. Some veiled as early as Ash Wednesday. As for the symbolism, here is some gleaned information from Rev. Larry Peters of Grace Lutheran Church in Clarksville, TN.
The veiling of Crosses, images etc. during Lent and Passiontide was done because these times had the character of penance and grief, and therefore decoration in the church was deemed inappropriate. The veiling of the crosses, moreover, may have its reason in the fact that until the 12th century the representations of the Crucifix showed not so much the Passion of the Christ, but his triumph on the cross. Likewise, the great Lenten veil was doubtlessly introduced with regard to the character of grief and penance proper to Lent. Of course, over time, other meanings were additionally attributed to some of these customs, which is understandable given the rise of mysticism during the medieval age. In the veiling of crosses, images and other decoration in the church was symbolized weakness and humility referencing the veiling of Jesus’ divine power in submitting Himself to death, even death on a cross. It recalls the veil which separated the Holy of Holies from the people which was rent asunder at the death of Jesus (we will unveil the altar crucifix on Good Friday). The remainder of the veils will be removed on Easter signifying that Christ now stands in unveiled splendor in His eternal glory. He has opened the heavens for us and taken away the blindness of our hearts. To Him alone be the glory!

Without  your individual directive, Thrivent chooses which non-profit organization receives your money. We hope that you will either call or go online to designate our church as the recipient of those funds to benefit our needs here at home. 1-800-847-4836 or thivent.com  Thank you!

 

MISSION/MINISTRY OF THE MONTH IS The SALEM MENNONITE HOME.  While not a  mission/ministry we support with our (St. Paul) budget, or a Registered Service Organization (RSO) of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, it is a local non-profit assisted living organization that many of our members reside (currently seven from St. Paul).  As you may have read in the newspaper, they have new plans for the future and are invited to tell you those plans on the 24th after services.  Again, as the mission/ministry focus for the month, a free-will basket will be placed at the window of the kitchen if you are so moved to donate and will be sent to them at the end of the month. – Pastor
