Chapter 32: The Wight of Grace, Part 7

From the back of the church, the set of three small bells rang three times; The congregation stood. The organ swelled and began to play a welcoming melody.

The procession began to make its way to the sanctuary. First came a young boy swinging a smoking thurible accompanied by the incense bearer, who carried the incense in a small gold box. Next, came the cross bearer carrying the processional cross. Flanking the cross bearer on his right and left were two candle bearers. Then came two more boys, then two young men, then two men. All wore red cassocks and white surplices. Finally, Father Anslem processed him.

He wore a white alb, a white cincture tied around his waist, a green stole crossed over his torso in the shape of an “X” and a green and gold embroidered cope, and a black biretta on his head. His hands were folded as he slowly made his way down the center aisle.
