CARE-SUNDAY.

CARE-SUNDAY.

Care Sunday, care away,

Palm Sunday and Easter-day.

Care-Sunday is the Sabbath next before Palm Sunday, and the second before Easter. Etymologists differ respecting the origin of the term. It is also called Carling-Sunday, and hence the Nottinghamshire couplet:

Tid, Mid, Misera,

Carling, Palm, Paste-egg day.
