Pontifical Mass on Easter Sunday 1976 Item Info

Title:
Pontifical Mass on Easter Sunday 1976
Date Created:
1976-04-18
Description:
Viewed from the rear of the sanctuary, Archbishop Robert M. Clement processes to the altar with Fr. Leo (on his left) and Fr. John (on his right) before celebrating the Pontifical Mass of Easter Sunday before a congregation filling the Church of the Beloved Disciple at 348 West 14th Street. The elevated altar, adorned with lilies, candles, and a suspended crucifix, provided a setting for one of the most solemn liturgies of the Christian year, celebrated according to the ceremonial traditions of the Catholic Church. This image captures the church at the height of its liturgical life, when its permanent home had become both a place of worship and a refuge for LGBTQ Christians seeking a sacramental community.
