VIDEO: See a “liturgical unicorn” – Chrism Mass in the Traditional Roman Rite

This is one of the rarest of liturgical rites in the Church right now: the Holy Thursday – yes, Holy Thursday – Chrism Mass in the Traditional Roman Rite, the Vetus Ordo, the Extraordinary Form.

This was streamed from the US seminary of the SSPX in Virginia.  Bp Fellay was the celebrating bishop.

Things to note.

All the clerics are dressed in their proper liturgical garb.

The consecration of the oils take place at different moments, one of them actually after the Canon and before Communion.

There is a threefold veneration of the oils.

It’s an impressive rite and so fitting for Holy Thursday.
