The Ceremonies of the Holy-Week at Rome

Note (return) — CHAP. V.

Reading edition

A procession, arranged like that of the preceding day, now goes to the Pauline chapel. Assisted as usual by the first Card. priest, the Pope kneels and incenses the B. Sacrament three times. M. Sagrista delivers the B. Sacrament to the Cardinal celebrant, who presents it to the Pope; His Holiness covers it with the end of the veil placed over his shoulders97 and the procession returns to the Sixtine chapel 98. In the mean time the choir sings the hymn "Vexilla Regis prodeunt". When the Pope arrives at the altar, he delivers the B. Sacrament to the Card. Celebrant, who places it on the altar. His Holiness then incenses it and returns to his throne.
