Elevation in the Eucharist: Its History and Rationale (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Elevation in the Eucharist: Its History and Rationale

Such an enquiry cannot be regarded as unimportant. There is no more striking, and hardly any more significant, ceremony in the Roman Mass than the elevation of the Host. It is the very climax of the service, and is looked for with feelings of the most intense expectation and devotion. Its intention, moreover, is undoubted, and is one which marks distinctly the line of deep cleavage between the Churches of England and Rome.
