Note 52 — Chapter XVIII · LITURGICAL PLAYS
Reading edition
P. L. cl. 465 ‘adorata ab omnibus cruce, portitores eius elevantes eam incipiant antiphonam Super omnia ligna cedrorum, et sic vadant ad locum ubi eam collocare debent.’ This does not exclude a sepulchre, but probably the locus was an altar which might serve as a statio for the processions ‘ad crucifixum’ ordered on Easter Saturday after vespers and thrice a day through Easter week. Such processions continued in later ritual to visit the cross after its Elevatio on Easter morning: cf. York Manual, 177.
