| Confirmation. (From a printed Pontifical, A.D. 1520) | [238] |
The bishop wears albe, dalmatic, cope, and mitre, the other clergy surplice and “biretta.”
| (1) Priest in Surplice, carrying Ciborium through the Street to a Sick Person, preceded by the Parish Clerk with Taper and Bell | [240] |
The ciborium, partly covered with a cloth, as in the illustration, which the priest carries, is silvered in the original illustration, and consequently comes out very imperfectly in the photograph.
| (2) | Priest, attended by Clerk, giving the Last Sacrament, 14th Century | [240] |
| Bishop and Deacon in Albe and Tunic, administering Holy Communion | [246] |
Two clerics in surplice hold the housel cloth to catch any of the sacred elements which might accidentally fall.
| Confession at the Beginning of Lent | [334] |
The priest in furred cope, the rood veiled; the altar has a red frontal. The two men are in blue habit. The woman on the right is all in black; the other, kneeling at a bench on the left, is in red gown and blue hood.
| Marriage | [410] |
It represents the marriage of the Count Waleran de St. Pol with the sister of Richard, King of England. The count is in a blue robe, the princess in cloth of gold embroidered with green; the groomsman in red, the man behind him in blue, the prince in the background in an ermine cape. The ladies attending the princess wear cloth of gold, blue, green, etc.; the bishop is vested in a light green cope over an apparelled rochet, and a white mitre. The bishop (and in other representations of marriage) takes hold of the wrists of the parties in joining their hands.
