The name " Sexagesima " is derived from the Latin sexagesimus, meaning " sixtieth ," and appears to be a back-formation of Quinquagesima, the term formerly used to denote the last Sunday before Lent ( the latter name alluding to the fact that there are fifty days between that Sunday and Easter, if one counts both days themselves in the total ).

While Quinquagesima ( 50th day ) is mathematically correct ( allowing for the inclusive counting ), Sexagesima and Septuagesima are only approximations ( the exact number of days is 57 and 64 respectively ).

However, like Quinquagesima, Sexagesima and Septuagesima, the numeral is more likely an approximation of how many days there are until Easter Sunday, in this case 42.

In the Roman Catholic Church, the terms for this Sunday ( and the two immediately before it — Sexagesima and Septuagesima Sundays ) were eliminated in the reforms following the Second Vatican Council, and these Sundays are part of Ordinary Time.

The earlier form of the Roman Rite, with its references to Quinquagesima Sunday, and to the Sexagesima and Septuagesima Sundays, continues to be observed in some communities.

* Septuagesima, Sexagesima and Quinquagesima Sunday are the last three Sundays before Lent.

The other two Sundays in this period of the liturgical year are called Sexagesima and Quinquagesima, the latter sometimes also called Shrove Sunday.

Quinquagesima Sunday is indeed the fiftieth day before Easter ( counting inclusively ), but the numbers indicated by the names " Sexagesima " and " Septuagesima " do not correspond to the interval between these Sundays and Easter.

Sexagesima, or, in full, Sexagesima Sunday, is the name for the second Sunday before Ash Wednesday in the Gregorian Rite liturgical calendar of the Roman Catholic Church, and also in that of some Protestant denominations, particularly those with Anglican and Lutheran origins.

Through the same process, the Sunday before Sexagesima Sunday was formerly known as Septuagesima Sunday, and marked the start of the Pre-Lenten Season which eventually became the time for carnival celebrations throughout Europe, this custom being later exported to places settled and / or colonized by Europeans.

Anglicans in provinces which continue to use the 1662 Book of Common Prayer as the primary authority also retain Sexagesima Sunday along with the two other pre-Lenten Sundays, as do those who use the 1928 American Book of Common Prayer.

* Lections and resources for Sexagesima Sunday

Such musical words are placed on words from the Biblical Latin text ; for instance when FA-MI-SOL-LA is placed on " et libera " ( e. g. introit for Sexagesima Sunday ) in the Christian faith it signifies that Christ liberates us from sin through His death and resurrection.

Quinquagesima (" fiftieth "), is the fiftieth day before Easter, reckoning inclusively ; but Sexagesima is not the sixtieth day and Septuagesima is not the seventieth but is the sixty-fourth day prior.

The new liturgical books created after the Second Vatican Council omit Septuagesima, Sexagesima and Quinquagesima Sundays.

Following the Second Vatican Council, Sexagesima and the other pre-Lent Sundays were eliminated in the new Roman Catholic liturgical calendar.

Most provinces of the Anglican Communion later followed in abolishing Sexagesima and the other pre-Lent Sundays, though they are retained wherever the Prayer Book Calendar is followed.
