First Sunday after Easter, Called “Dominica in Albis,” or Low Sunday: Goffine's Devout Instructions On the Epistles and Gospels (1896 Edition, Benziger Brothers) . WHY is this Sunday called “ Dominica in Albis,” (White Sunday)? Because, in the earlier times, those who had been baptized on Holy Saturday on this day laid aside the white garments which they had then received, and put on their necks an “Agnus Dei” made of white wax, and blessed by the Pope, to remind them continually that they were bound to preserve that innocence unstained. The Church therefore sings, at the Introit of the Mass, “ As new-born babes, alleluia, desire the rational milk without guile, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia (1 Pet. ii. 2). Rejoice to God our helper; sing aloud to the God of Jacob. Glory be to the Father, “ (Ps. Ixxx. 1).
