The Words of the Liturgy. A Small Dictionary

The text - as the title and subtitle clearly indicate - examines names for realities and objects used in the liturgical context, providing important information such as their etymology, meaning, and use, to foster an understanding of the element in question. The words examined are not presented in alphabetical order, but grouped around significant and central elements, such as: the Word of God, the Church, sacred vestments, sacred vessels and objects used for liturgical worship, altar linens and accessories, liturgical vestments and insignia, liturgical books, the Rite of Blessing of the Oils, etc. The principle underlying this resource is the importance of understanding the language spoken in the liturgical environment so that we can feel fully at ease in the various celebrations, aware that human knowledge is becoming increasingly broad today: why not acquire these simple skills related to our faith as well?
