Starting this Sunday, you may see our statues covered in the church, so why do we veil images during this time?

We veil statues and crucifixes during the last two weeks of Lent as a kind of spiritual and visual fasting, helping us focus more deeply on Christ’s suffering and the sorrowful mystery of the Cross. The temporary “hiding” of sacred images also symbolizes how Christ’s glory was hidden during his Passion and builds a longing for Easter, when the veils are removed and we rejoice in His Resurrection.
