Ceremony of Consecration

A T THE appointed hour, the Consecrator, the Bishop-elect, the assistant bishops, and the others who are to be present at the consecration, as- semble in the church, and the Consecrator having prayed before the altar ascends to his throne near the Gospel corner, and there is vested as usual. The Bishop- elect, with the assistant bishops, goes to his chapel and there puts on the necessary vestments; namely: the amice, alb, cincture, and the stole, crossed as it is worn by priests, and cope. The assistant bishops, in the mean- while, put on their vestments. All being ready, the Consecrator goes to the middle of the altar and there sits on the faldstool with his back to the altar. The Bishop- elect, vested and wearing his biretta, is led between the two assistant bishops, vested and mitred, and when he comes before the Consecrator, uncovering his head and profoundly bowing, he makes reve.rence to him; the assistant bishops, wearing their mitres, slightly incline their heads. Then they sit a little distance from the Consecrator so that the Bishop-elect faces the Consecra- tor; the senior assistant bishop sits at the right hand of the Bishop-elect, the junior at his left, facing each other. When they shall have thus been seated, after a short pause they rise, the Bishop-elect without his biretta and the assistant bishops without their mitres.
