R. MOWBRAY & CO. Ltd. London : 28 Margaret Street, Oxford Circus, W. i Oxford : 9 High Street Milwaukee, U.S.A. : The Morehouse Publishing Co. Printed in Great Britain First impression, 1924 INTRODUCTION This book has been prepared by a group of members of the Alcuin Club as a companion to the T)irectory of CeremoniaL Not every direction of that book can be illustrated. We have chosen certain of the most important, as used on solemn occasions. Where less ceremony is for any reason desired, the principles which these pictures illus- trate can still be followed. Explanatory notes have been added. Those who require further explanation are referred to the 'Directory itself. All photographs in this book were taken by Mr. Will Taylor of 30 Red Lion Square, except No. XVII which we reproduce by kind per- mission of The St)here, Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2016 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Alternates https://archive.org/details/ceremonialpicturOOunse Cl5i CONTENTS THE ALTAR.

Clerk with Attendants at Westminster Abbey. THE LENTEN ARRAY The Frontispiece shows the high altar of West- minster Abbey vested for Lent in a frontal, frontlet, and dossal of white linen,^ embroidered with designs in red. Inventories of church goods show that this custom was well-nigh universal at the period of the Ornaments Rubric, though the colour sequences do not prescribe it. There is much to be said for this ancient and beautiful custom, which gives the right note of austerity without being gloomy. It also marks off Lent from the time following Septuagesima on the one hand, and from Passiontide on the other. There are details in the arrangement of the sanctuary which are peculiar to the Use of the Abbey. * See Dearmer’s Parson'' s Handbook^ loth edn., p. 512 ft.
