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.
