Mass (liturgy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Mass is the term used to describe celebration of the Eucharist in the Western liturgical rites of the Catholic Church, in the Anglo-Catholic tradition of Anglicanism, and in some largely High Church Lutheran regions: in Scandinavian countries the Lutheran Eucharistic service is also known as "the Mass". |
 | | In the Book of Concord, Article XXIV ("Of the Mass") of the Augsburg Confession, begins: "Falsely are our churches accused of abolishing the Mass; for the Mass is retained among us, and celebrated with the highest reverence.". |
 | | "Mass" is one of many terms used to describe the Eucharist in the Anglican tradition, the others being "Holy Communion," "Holy Eucharist," or "the Lord's Supper." In the English-speaking Anglican world, the term used frequently connotes the Eucharistic theology of the one using it. |
