		The Sarum liturgy was, in many ways, similar to the pre-Vatican II "Tridentine" Mass that has made a comeback in recent years, only much more elaborate.
		During Lent, a white curtain was raised in front of the sanctuary to conceal it from the people and choir; on Good Friday, when the priest read the words in the Passion--"And the veil of the temple was rent in the midst"--the curtain was dramatically divided to reveal the Holy Altar.
