“After this,” says Cyril, “ye
hear the chanter inviting you with a sacred melody to the Communion of
the Holy Mysteries, and saying, O taste and see that the Lord is
good § 20.. This
agrees with the Clementine
rubric: “Let the 33rd Psalm be sung while all the rest are
partaking.” In the Liturgy of S. James, while the Bishop is
breaking the Bread and dipping in the Wine, the “Agnus Dei”
and several Psalms were sung: but of these there is no mention in
the Clementine Liturgy or in Cyril.
