Ritual performance borne out of the Middle Ages can be seen in a variety of places including present day Freemasonry.

The focus of this lecture will be to explore medieval church rituals that were performed during the Liturgy and look into their anthropological and symbolic aspects. In it we hope to see how the medieval conception of ritual could be a source of Masonic ritual.

Presented by Eric Palazzo, Getty Scholar and member of the French Rectified Scottish Rite, professor at the University of Poitiers, Centre d'études supérieures de civilisation médiévale, Poitiers, France. Religion and Ritual in the Middle Ages.
He is the author of A History of Liturgical Books from the Beginning to the Thirteenth Century.

Reception to follow.
