There are many good and popular English books on the Mass. Some of
them treat the subject after the manner of a Rationale, explaining
the significance of the prayers and ceremonies of the Eucharistic
rite; others are historical and antiquarian, and elucidate the
origin and evolution of the ceremonial - while of devotional books
there is no end. This book, however, is a treatise on the folklore
and minor antiquities of the Mass; by which are meant the various
aspects and the numerous details of the Holy Sacrifice which have
so impressed the minds of Catholics in the past as to leave
permanent traces in the popular traditions and speech. The aim of
this book is to stimulate love for the ancient Mass by showing how
it was valued by our ancestors in ages of faith, and what our
predecessors in the penal times willingly suffered for its sake.
