Stripping of the altar
Explanation:
Inzwischen entblößt der Priester unter Beihilfe des Diakons und des Subdiakons die Altäre, den Hochaltar zuerst; ausgenommen den Altar, wo das Allerheiligste aufbewahrt wird. Sind alle Altäre entblößt, kehrt der Zelebrant an den Hochaltar zurück und wiederholt die Antiphon. http://www.mariawalder-messbuch.de/mwmwb/fastenzeit/kardo1/n...
Stripping of the altar The Stripping of the Altar is a ceremony carried out in the earlier form of the Roman Rite at the end of Mass of the Lord's Supper on Maundy Thursday. It is still carried out in many Anglican and Lutheran[1] churches on Maundy Thursday. All altars in the church, except for the Altar of Repose, are stripped.
