Página 139 - Priests returned to their seats. Then the Passion was chanted; and then a most tiresome long service commenced, in which the usual genuflections, and tinkling of little bells, and dressings, and undressings, and walking up and coming down the steps of the altar, and bustling about, went on; and which at last terminated in the Cardinals all embracing and kissing each other, which is, I am told, the kiss of peace.
Página 158 - At length the preacher cried, ' Here they come — the holy men — to bear the body of our Redeemer to the sepulchre ; ' and from the side of the scene issued forth a band of friars, clad in black, with white scarfs tied across them, and, gradually climbing Mount Calvary by a winding path amongst the rocks and bushes, reached the foot of the cross, unmolested by the paper centurions.

The pope gave the blessing, and walking along the side of the table opposite to them, handed each of them bread, then plates, and lastly, cups of wine.

Página 144 - Allegri ; but the composition, however fine, is nothing without the voices who perform it here. It is only the singers of the Papal chapel who can execute the Miserere.
