Art for the Christian Liturgy in the Middle Ages
The term liturgy refers to the rites and ceremonies prescribed by the Eastern and Western Church for communal worship. The central focus of the liturgy is the Eucharist, in which Christians take consecrated wine and bread in commemoration of the Last Supper and Christ's death. While liturgical practices were codified gradually over several centuries and varied locally, eucharistic vessels for the bread and wine, the paten, and the chalice remained indispensable ( 1986.3.1-15; 47.101.26-29 ). The liturgy in both the Eastern and Western Church necessitated a variety of additional objects such as books, often richly decorated ( 17.190.134 ), for prayers, music, and Old and New Testament readings ( 1992.238 ); crosses for the altar and to be carried in procession ( 63.12; 1993.163 ); censers for the burning of incense; and lighting devices for the sanctuary ( 2002.483.7 ).
