Traditional † Catholicism

So our Mass goes back, without essential change, to the age when it first developed out of the oldest liturgy of all. It is still redolent of that liturgy, of the days when Cæsar ruled the world and thought he could stamp out the faith of Christ, when our fathers met together before dawn and sang a hymn to Christ as to a God. The final result of our enquiry is that, in spite of unsolved problems, in spite of later changes, there is not in Christendom another rite so venerable as ours. ~Fortescue

40 HOURS DEVOTION - CHURCH OF THE HOLY INNOCENTS - NYC - 2ND DAY - PHOTOS OF CANDLEMASS

On the second day of the 40 Hours Devotion, the Mass was the one for Candlemas. The Bl. Sacrament was reposed for this. The blessing and the distribution of candles took place. There were more people than expected because we ran out of tapers to distribute. Afterwards, the traditional procession for Candlemas took place inside the church.

Exposition continued later in the day. There was always someone present for adoration. Several people signed up for different time slots to pray before the Bl. Sacrament exposed.
