Catechical Lectures of Saint Cyril of Jerusalem, where he explains the
pre-baptismal exorcisms at the makiong of a catechumen and which are recited
facing west and conclude with spitting on the devil. I find that this
unique opportunbity to spit in church is still found as something a little
discomforting by 21st century baptizands and sponsors.
