Thank you fo...Dear Rubricarius & Caeremonarius,<br />Thank you for the clarification. I didn't have a 1962 Missal handy to check it easily myself. (I gave it away quite a while ago ... to someone who would use it more than I would.)<br />Best regards,<br />Fr.

As Caeremonarius states the rubric is clear enough but why the difference? I suspect that most <i>versus populum</i> altars/tables of the period did not actually have a Cross on them and the arrangement was the same as in the photograph in Ellard's 'Men at Work at Worship'.Rubricariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050302650867319277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669950994040167422.post-38264388979252164472012-07-07T04:02:11.303+00:002012-07-07T04:02:11.303+00:00One curious omission from the free-standing altar ...<i>One curious omission from the free-standing altar diagram: there is no indication for censing the altar crucifix.</i><br /><br />The diagram doesn't show the incensation of the crucifix and reliquaries, but it's clear from the Latin rubrics directly below the diagram: the crucifix and reliquaries are incensed, then the numbers in the diagram are followed.Caeremonariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10767130733541445711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669950994040167422.post-3386786228674659952012-07-07T00:52:42.882+00:002012-07-07T00:52:42.882+00:00I find it unsettling that the Cross/Crucifix is ig...I find it unsettling that the Cross/Crucifix is ignored when censing a freestanding altar. Am I to assume that Christ's sacrifice on Calvary is no longer important? That Crosses and Crucifixes were done away with it for a while in the 1970's at ad populum worship is even more unsettling.Victor Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669950994040167422.post-1489201062974258832012-07-06T15:39:55.417+00:002012-07-06T15:39:55.417+00:00Rubricarius,

One curious omission from the free-standing altar diagram: there is no indication for censing the altar crucifix. Presumably it was censed in the traditional manner (as would be the reliquaries).<br />--Fr.
