"Of a most venerable usage, there are three sorts of mitres. The first, called the precious (pretiosa), is usually embellished by gems and by needlework in gold or silver. The second sort, called 'golden', without precious stones or needlework may either be decorated with some small pearls or be made of white silk with gold bands or else simply be made of cloth of gold without pearls or gold embroidery. The third sort, called simple, without gold, is made of white cloth of simple silk, Damask or even plain linen - with the fringes of the lappets in red.""<br /><br />"The Bishop uses the precious mitre for the most solemn feasts and as a general rule whenever the Gloria in Excelsis Deo is recited at Mass. None the less on such festive occasions the Bishop may also use the golden mitre but this is more for convenience than by precept; that is he may wear the Golden mitre to avoid being disturbed by the weight of the precious mitre during long ceremonies. At a pontifical mass the Bishop thus uses the precious mitre at the beginning and end of the ceremony when arriving at the church and when leaving (if he has vested in the secretarium) rather than the sanctuary) and when he washes his hands and gives the solemn blessing. <br /><br />At other moments he wears the golden mitre instead of the precious mitre: during the signing of the Gloria, the Epistle, the Gradual and Alleluia, and the Creed, as well as when preaching. The Bishop does not use the precious Mitre at all times of penitence (Advent, Septuagesima, Lent and Passiontide), when he replaces it with the Golden Mitre. The golden Mitre is likewise used for the greater and lesser Litanies and for all penitential processions, as well as for ordinations and all consecrations performed without solemnity."<br /><br />"Finally the Bishop uses the simple Mitre on Good Friday and for offices of the dead, in order to express the sense of mourning appropriate to the occasion."<br /><br />Phew!!!Charlie Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07091587321864006323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-62165124273984201622013-04-11T11:36:25.855+01:002013-04-11T11:36:25.855+01:00May we know the names of the priests who have lear...May we know the names of the priests who have learned the Mass?Supertradmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829935047036023159noreply@blogger.com
