In reality I am a very well-off Classics professor, and an unassuming pious (in the sense of Plato's Socrates) chap who can control peoples' actions with his mind, and ''mum'' stands for an all-pervading ghost in my loft. Sometimes my students and I play Zeus and Ganymede, or Apollo and Hyacinthus...I just prefer to be thought of as a hopeless University drop-out with Asperger Syndrome...Patrick Sheridanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995907911415177074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192580971664762668.post-89545336661334924942010-07-22T03:53:23.049+01:002010-07-22T03:53:23.049+01:00Fascinating - but does your "mum" know y...Fascinating - but does your "mum" know you are blogging again?Matthew Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564546155986482730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192580971664762668.post-7116371859661904382010-07-21T15:51:14.117+01:002010-07-21T15:51:14.117+01:00The central feature of the 'Old Rite' is t...The central feature of the 'Old Rite' is the plunging of a wooden cross into the water three times (c.f. the Paschal Candle and the font on Holy Saturday and the Vigil of Pentecost). <br /><br />Anyone who has witnessed the Byzantine ceremonies for the Great Blessing of Water on both the Vigil of the Epiphany and the feast itself will notice sriking parallels (as indeed one can see from the Lord Marquess' fascinating book. This vanishes as you rightly say in the 1890 revision leaving nothing much more than the form of blessing lustral water at other times of the year.Rubricariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050302650867319277noreply@blogger.com
