She describes also the role of the priest, the use and symbolism of vestments, and much more. Then she proceeds-in refreshingly straightforward language, and with abundant illustrations-to follow the order of the Mass as it slowly unfolds in word and gesture. This is a sure guide to the beauties of the traditional Mass for children of all ages, and at the same time a wonderful primer for adults who want to deepen their understanding of the Mass of the Ages.
