Mass | Vickie | Sunday, February 26, 2012 |
Question: When was the fist documented "Mass" as we know it? I completely understand the "Last Supper" however, did the apostles immediately start and when did we make it formal. |

Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r)
Dear Vickie: The oldest documented Order of Mass is found in the First Century document called the Didache (Doctrine of the Twelve Apostles). The description of the Mass is fundamentally very close to the way the Mass is celebrated today. Resources: Catholic Encyclopedia, English Translation of the Didache God Bless, |
