Veneration of the Cross: On Good Friday, after the cross has been brought into the church, it may either be venerated while all kneel in place or each person may come forward individually to venerate the cross. In some places, the veneration is an act of kissing the foot of the cross.

Versicle: A short sentence, often taken from the Psalms, sung or said at the liturgy and followed by a response from the people.

Vigil: A period of time or a service of preparation before major festivals or celebrations.
