Sorrowful Friday Explanation: Supposedly, there's no direct translation for "Viernes de Dolores", but the Church translation is "Feasts of the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary". A Google search confirms the usage of "Sorrowful Friday" and/or "Friday of Sorrows" - to refer to the Friday before Palm/Passion Sunday. Reference: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14151b.htm |

Friday of Sorrows (Viernes de Dolores) is celebrated on the fifth Friday in Lent, one week before Good Friday. The tradition dates to the Colonial period when priests consecrated a chapel to the Virgen de los Dolores.
