What Did Early Christian Liturgy Look Like? – “The Catholic Mass” Ep. 9

Last episode, we saw what Christ intended to leave us in the Mass – how He is both priest and victim, God and man. In this episode, we’ll investigate what happened after the Last Supper – after Our Lord Ascended into Heaven. Did the Mass celebrated by the first bishops look like the Tridentine Latin Mass we have today? How did the early Eucharist ceremonies develop, and how did various regions influence the way that the ceremonies of the Liturgy were practiced? We’ll also take a look at the immense influence that the Jewish synagogue ceremonies played in the early development and practices of Christian Liturgy.
