We are pleased to continue our series of photographs taken by Dr Chris Steward of the Latin Mass Community at Saint Aloysius Church, Caulfield North (Archdiocese of Melbourne) of the rites of Holy Week.
In this post, photographs of the Bishop's Low Mass on Spy Wednesday; Tenebrae of Maundy Thursday; the Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper on Maundy Thursday, Stations of the Cross on Good Friday, followed by the Solemn Commemoration of the Lord's Suffering and Death.
Note that a complete series of photos can be found here.
This year, Holy Week is especially significant for the Melbourne Community, since the rites are being celebrated by the Most Rev'd Basil Meeking DD, Bishop-emeritus of the Diocese of Christchurch (New Zealand) and well-known supporter of Catholic Tradition. These ceremonies at Caulfield also represent the first occasion since the mid-1960s that the Holy Week rites have been celebrated Pontifically in Australia according to the Extraordinary Form. May we not hope that what has happened in Melbourne this year may become a common phenomenon world-wide in the years to come?
