In the pre-1970 Roman Rite liturgy, the "Alleluia" ceases to be said during the liturgy. At first Vespers of Septuagesima Sunday, two alleluias are added to the closing verse of "Benedicamus Domino" and its response, "Deo gratias", as during the Easter Octave, and, starting at Compline, it is no longer used until Easter. Likewise, violet vestments are worn, except on feasts, from Septuagesima Sunday until Holy Thursday. As during Advent and Lent, the "Gloria" and "Te Deum" are no longer said on Sundays.
