medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

Miri Rubin says on p. 64 of her book Corpus Christi, by the 12th century Johannes Beleth said Christians communicated at first daily, but cooling fervor led to weekly & then communion on the 3 major feasts.

Thanks Tom!
Can anyone give bibliography or other elucidation for the Early Church? The question is two-pronged: what were the actual customs and when did they change, and what did medieval people think they were and think the change took place?

Meg,

There was a transition to requiring lay communion on three major feasts: Easter, Pentecost & Christmas. I am unsure when this occurred, but I will look. Only with Lateran IV (1215) is there a further shift to requiring Easter Duty (confession & communion ca. Easter).

Greetings all,
A friend asks for the origin of
'the notion that everyone in the early church attended mass and received communion every day, then this moved to Sundays, then, eventually, to the major feasts (for laity), with blessed bread taking its place.
This is the scenario from a vernacular mass commentary which might have been written around 1190–1210 (although those dates are far from fixed).'
