medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
My earlier post on this thread was rejected, and I am hoping that this
isn't a duplicate of an earlier message. There is a nice account of
an early service in the Peregrinatio Aetheriae/Egeriae:

> that eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life. John 6:54
> And who doubts that to share frequently in life, is the same thing

> of a priest or minister is not a serious offense, as long custom
> sanctions this practice from the facts themselves. All the
> solitaries in the desert, where there is no priest, take the
> communion themselves, keeping communion at home. And at Alexandria
> and in Egypt, each one of the laity, for the most part, keeps the
> communion, at his own house, and participates in it when he likes.
> For when once the priest has completed the offering, and given it,
> the recipient, participating in it each time as entire, is bound to
> believe that he properly takes and receives it from the giver. And
> even in the church, when the priest gives the portion, the recipient
> takes it with complete power over it, and so lifts it to his lips
> with his own hand. It has the same validity whether one portion or
> several portions are received from the priest at the same time.
