Jubilate Sunday

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The incipit of the Gregorian chant introit Jubilate Deo, from which Jubilate Sunday gets its name.
Jubilate Sunday is the third Sunday after Easter. It is called this because in the liturgy of the Catholic Church the first line of the introit for that day's mass is "Jubilate Deo omnis terra" ("Shout with joy to God, all the earth") from Psalm 66 (65).
English Wikisource has original text related to this article:

The Lutheran Church historically named this Sunday as the fourth Sunday of Easter following Misericordia Domini and preceding Cantate (see Luther for the Busy Man by P.D. Pahl, 1974, Adelaide).

The liturgy for this day, and for the next two Sundays, continues to celebrate the Easter resurrection.
