the Monastery of the Holy Cross at Woffenheim in Eliass. The Bull placed the monastery under the immediate jurisdiction of the Holy See, and excmpted it from the jurisdiction of the ordinary. In recognition of this singular privilege, the Abbess was to send yearly to the Holy See a Golden Rose weighing two Roman ounces. It was to reach the Pope eight days before the third Sunday of Lent, so that His Holiness might bless it on the fourth, or Laetnie Sunday, which is sometimes called dominica.

In the accounts of the tributes paid to the Holy See, kept by Cencio, camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church in the twelfth century, mention is made of the Golden Rose: from the Monastery of the Holy Cross at Woffenheim.

some authorities doubt if Dom Calmet is right in thinking that the Golden Rose was' always blessed on Laetare Sunday. They say that the flower was simply carried by the Fope in his hand while walking in procession on Palm Sun- day, and quote in support of this opinion a letter of Comte Falcon d'Anger, to whom Pope Urban II presented a Golden Rose at the Council of Tours Canon Anniviti, writing in an Italian ecclesiastical review, quotes in contradiction to the opinion, a passage from an unpublished sermon preserved at the Monasteries of the Holy Cross in Rome, of Pope Honorius III, preached in the basilica of that monastery on Mid Leat Sunday, 1a15. From this passage the learned canon concluded that the blessing of the Rose was instituted by a Pope of the name of Gregory, and that this could be no other than St. Gregory the Great. But the good canon's de the Rose itself was instituted somewhere in the ductions go, back too far, if, as is more likely, eleventh century.
