I have a somewhat humorous story regarding this practice. Years ago, a Catholic school in my area decided to “bury the Alleluia” at its Ash Wednesday Mass. The Alleluia banner was placed in a shoebox-sized container and not actually buried, but placed in a small rock garden near one of the entrances. Several weeks later, the school received a bomb threat, school was called off for the day and when the bomb squad arrived they spotted a “suspicious package” which they hauled off and exploded…. you guessed it, the “suspicious package” was the buried Alleluia.
The last pic “Here Lies Al” speaks volumes.
In one single photo is captured the essence of joy that permeates holy institutions like these sisters. So much for the stereotype and template created by the Left that traditional religious must all be humorless, stodgy and probably even hateful types.
I’ve seen these sisters interact, and I can assure you there is much laughter and lightheartedness.
Quite simply, they are HAPPY. We lay people could do well to imitate their example as they bear witness to the Gospel.
Hmmm… I’m thinking maybe this custom needs to be adapted to fit the needs of the modern world somewhat. Perhaps we could start a movement for parishes with less than ideal music to have a “bury the Marty Haugen hymns” celebration. Only this custom would not be an annual tradition, but one that happens once and for good.
Who knows? It might become a thing. ;)

So lovely to see my sweet sister. Thank you for sharing these.
As I continue to attend the EF mass I feel a deepening sense of joy unfolding as I learn about so many great traditions contained in the old calendar, and also in the usus antiquior.
