This Sunday has also been known as Low Sunday, Dominica in Albis Depositis (Sunday with the white baptismal garments put aside), Thomas Sunday (because of the Gospel reading), and Quasimodo Sunday. The Latin Introit begins with Quasimodo (As if newborn babes ...). In Victor Hugo's novel, Notre-Dame de Paris, the archdeacon there finds the abandoned infant on this Sunday, and names him Quasimodo.
