I'm not an expert, I read the rules of the community but please go easy on me if I got this wrong.
I've been reading etymologies for a few years now and I have a question about the Sundays in lent. In an archaic dictionary I found this:
> PASE-DAY. Easter-day. The following pro verbial lines refer to the Sundays in Lent : Tid, mid, misera, Carl, Paum, good Pose-day.
But if I'm correct we can look at it like:
1st Sunday, Tid; 2nd Sunday, mid; 3rd Sunday, misera; 4th Sunday (Laetare), Carl; 5th Sunday, Paum *(Palm)*; 6th Sunday, good Pose-day *(Easter?)*
I think there's a Sunday missing.
And this question is wide open to different names of the same dates. I'm just using the Archaic etymology to develop an understanding of their meanings. So names outside of Archaic are encouraged
