I attended a NO parish for Good Friday. It was the dramatic reading and at least well done. I won't discuss the homily.

So yes, we had acapella singing (and chant) and use of the clappers from Holy Thursday's Gloria until the Easter Vigil's Gloria. <br />By the way, all the statues and the crucifix in the church were covered in violet cloth, like the olden days, from Palm Sunday (I think it was Palm Sunday, but now I'm not sure!) until the Easter Vigil.<br />My parish is St. John Cansius in Chicago, and the Canon Regulars there are dedicated to the restoration of the sacred in the liturgy, so you would expect this. The liturgies were all Novo Ordo, said in Latin.

Also, the faux-folk or sacro-pop settings of the Ordinary which are still prevalent, apart from being dire in themselves, give little indication of change of season. When Mass XVII (Lent) gives way to Mass I (Paschaltide) one notices the difference. Both are easy enough for congregations to learn.<br /><br />How many parishes have a crotalus (rattle) to replace the bell when the bells have to be silent?John Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027156691859606002noreply@blogger.com
