Meanwhile in the universal Church
Thanks to Rorate for the link to these photos of the ordinations yesterday at Chartres for the FSSP. Happy Feast Day.
The deacon and subdeacon of the Mass are wearing the matching vestments.The two you refer to are the assistant deacons at the throne. Notice they wear the dalmatic not over an alb but over a surplice and amice. It`s all in `Pontifical Solemn Mass at the Throne` in your Fortescue.
Why are the deacon & subdeacon wearing black dalmatic & tunicle before the ordination?
ReplyDeleteIt`s a dark violet.
ReplyDeleteExpanding the question; why aren't they wearing the vestments of the Mass as both bishop & asst priest are?

ReplyDeleteNo wonder the Liturgy needed to renewed. Why is so much lace thought to be traditional?
ReplyDeleteI don`t see why it is obvious that all this should be swept away Anonymous. I`m not that keen on lace myself however.
