Ballet at Mass


Sort of interesting title, isn't it? What could I possibly mean?

If you are a follower of my blog, you will know that I have started to attend the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Catholic Mass, a/k/a the Tridentine Mas.

I was at Mass on Christmas Day. I was watching the altar servers. Their movements are so precise and reverential it is as if they are trained ballet dancers. It is beautiful to watch. As they go through their rubrics, once again you know that you are in a very special place and taking part of something extraordinary and supernatural.
