Pre-Nicene Mass: 2nd Century Reconstruction and Walkthrough

Today we reconstruct mass just as it would have been celebrated in the 2nd century by the Pre-Nicene Christians and as outlined in the liturgical guide 'Mass, Baptisms and Prayers of the First Christians,' published by the Marcionite Christian Church (MarcioniteChurch.org). Overview: In many ways, this mass is reflective of the widespread persecution endured by the Pre-Nicene Christians from 33 A.D. - 325 A.D. as more often than not, it would be celebrated underground, in caves or private homes and away from their enemies. At the time, all Christians had but one bible - The Very First Bible of 144 A.D. and it would have accompanied parishioners during mass. It was traditional that Saturday be a day of fasting and mass be celebrated on Sunday beginning at dawn with a Service of the Word. ⁠#prenicene⁠ ⁠#liturgy⁠ ⁠#apostlepaul⁠ ⁠#mass⁠ ⁠#communion⁠ Pre-Nicene Mass: ⁠https://www.marcionitechurch.org/catacombchurch.html⁠ The Very First Bible: ⁠https://www.theveryfirstbible.org⁠ Liturgical Guide Free Ebook/PDF: ⁠https://payhip.com/b/7ZQq⁠ Pre-Nicene Christian Ecclesia: ⁠https://pre-nicene.org⁠ PCRN Radio: ⁠https://pre-nicene.org/radio.html Hosted on Acast.
