As explained in a footnote to the post:
It is monastic tradition to “bury” the Alleluia for the season of Lent as a symbol of this period when the entire Church refrains from singing Alleluia. The Alleluia is “resurrected” on the Solemn Feast of Easter.Mother's reflection suggests that we see this as a burying of Christ in our own hearts that parallels his descent to hell on Holy Saturday, to rescue our first parents.
