.:{Liturgy Pics On Demand}:.


Bloggians,

Here are more pictures, and some video, from the Maundy Thursday FSSP mass in S. Trinita dei Monti:

The reading from the Evangelist.
The subdeacon dons the humeral veil.
Priest, deacon and subdeacon.
Communion
Giant corporal?
VIDEO - The polyphonic choir at communion. Lovely. However I have no idea what photobucket has done with the format, and am too brain-dead at the moment to think about it. If everyone hates it and no one can access it, I'll consider fiddling around with it later.
This image mostly for the whole altar.
The priest with his own humeral veil.
Before the covered Eucharist for repose.
Ready for the procession.
Note the umbrollino.
The gifts being given.
The procession really really readies.
The procession begins.
VIDEO - The Pange Lingua. Apologies for my bad singing. I stopped a) because I was paying attention to my camera and b) because I realized that, in the event of my posting this, everybody in the whole durn world would hear me. :P
Towards the altar of repose.
The deacon receives the Eucharist.
The deacon reposes the Eucharist.

Thank you for posting these pictures! I spent last semester in Rome and went to San Gregorio-Muratori quite often for the Missa Cantata. It is wonderful to see these photos.

Actually, that's a houseling cloth. It was (and in some places still is) a strip of linen held under the communicant's chin when he receives at the altar. It's also a cloth that goes over the altar rail, under which the laity put their hands when they communicate.

Its purpose in both instances is the same: to catch any crumbs of the Sacred Species that might fall. It predates the communion paten and might be consisdered an extension of the altar cloth. In places where it's used currently, it's used in conjuction with the communion paten.

In Xto et SPN Dominico,

Well, now I see (or should I say hear?) that there is no excuse for you not to join the St. Thomas Aquinas Gregorian Chant Schola when you get back to C'ville this summer. Practice 7:30 on Monday nights; Mass 7:30 a.m. each Sunday. A better web page for the Schola is coming.
