The vestment thus dedicated was sprinkled with holy water after each prayer.
The ritual uses of vestments may be conveniently described in two parts; discussing in the first the persons by whom they were worn, and, in the second, the occasions upon which, and the 杭州小巷子按摩 manner in which, they were worn.
The vestments were distributed among the different orders of clergy in a manner similar to that in which the early vestments of the second period were allotted (see p. 28), but on a more complex system, as befitted 杭州龙凤网新地址 their greater elaboration. Some hints of this system have already been given in the preceding pages; it will be convenient here to amplify this information.
The seven orders of the Western Church are the three minor orders (ostiarius, lector, acolytus), 杭州夜生活百花坊 and the four major orders (subdeacons, deacons, priests, and bishops; we may divide the last into three subdivisions, bishops proper, archbishops, {214} and the Pope). All ranks wore the alb, and all the major orders the maniple. All those above the rank of subdeacon wore amice and stole, and all above the rank of deacon the chasuble. 杭州养生按摩 Subdeacons were distinguished by the tunicle, deacons by the dalmatic; both vestments were added to the outfit of bishops, the latter with a remarkable distinction already described (p. 79). The stockings, sandals, subcingulum (originally), mitre, 杭州桑拿水磨会所全套 gloves, ring, and staff were peculiar to bishops and to certain abbots to whom these pontificalia had been expressly granted by the Pope.[95] Archbishops added the pall to this lengthy catalogue, and the Pope (who dispensed with the pastoral staff) reserved 杭州丝袜论坛 the orale, and in later times the subcingulum, for his exclusive use.
We now turn to the consideration of the occasions upon which, and the manner in which, these vestments were worn.
The vestments worn at the mass by the celebrant and his assistants were those which we have described under the heading of ‘Eucharistic Vestments,’ 杭州足疗店 and of these one, the chasuble, was worn exclusively at this service and at no other.
In Advent, and between Septuagesima and Easter, the deacons and subdeacons were directed {215} to substitute chasubles for their dalmatics or tunicles; and 杭州spa会所 these
chasubles were ordered to be worn, not in the usual manner, but folded, and passed across the breast like the diaconal stole. That is to say, the chasuble, which must have been of a flexible[96] material, was folded into a strip as narrow as possible, and 杭州生活网 secured over the shoulder and under the girdle of the alb. These were not to be worn during the whole service, however; the subdeacon had to remove his folded chasuble at the Epistle; at the Gospel the deacon had to cross his over the left arm, and so keep it till after the post-communion.
There is but one representation of 杭州下沙便宜的鸡 a deacon so vested known to exist in England. It is one of a se
