I am from Slovakia and we have only communion on tongue. Also most of the people, including me, obstain from meat on friday. To matter of young children accidentally recieving holy communion we have a tradition that children have finger on their mouth thus it is prevented when they go for blessing on their forehead during communion. God bless you and carry on.

[@boem3021]

Same in Poland.

[@jaqian]

I live in Ireland and I was very surprised to find out that not eating meat on a Friday was still a thing in the Catholic Church. Growing up apart from Ash Wednesday and Good Friday I'd never heard of it practiced or mentioned. Ironically it was reading a book about an Anglican who converted to Orthodoxy and his journey got me wondering when we have it up only to be really surprised and annoyed that I hadn't known. I now fast on Friday.

[@monikap8777]

Same in Croatia, children come with their parents to communion, but receive a blessing instead. Communion is on tongue or in hands, but because of Covid these days only on hands. We obstain from meat on friday.

[@ThamNguyen-zw8wi]

In Vietnam it’s the same in small villages but the children have their arms crossed

[@thomasfolio7931]

@@jaqian What many folks were never taught was that when Pope Paul VI lifted the requirement of abstaining from flesh meats on Fridays, and other days of abstinence, that he asked that those who could would maintain the traditional meatless day, if they did not, they would still have to choose another act of penitence replacing it, to remember the actions of Christ on Good Friday.

One tradition that I would bring back if I was a priest is priest-led recitation of the rosary before each mass.

[@patgarcia4664]

In our parish, lay people lead the Rosary before weekday Masses. This has been well-received by our priests as well as by our people, who come to church early to participate.

Yes, but they are not gods!” 21“Therefore I will teach them- this time I will teach them my power and might. Then they will know that my name is the Lord *Jer.7:* 14 Therefore, what I did to Shiloh I will now do to the house that bears my Name, the templeyou trust in, the place I gave to you and your ancestors. 15 I will thrust you from my presence, just as I did all your fellow Israelites, the people of Ephraim.’ 16 “So do not pray for this people nor offer any plea or petition for them; do not plead with me, for I will not listen to you. 17 Do you not see what they are doing in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? 18 *The children gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough and make cakes to offer to the Queen of Heaven.They pour out drink offerings to other gods to arouse my anger.* 19 But am I the one they are provoking? declares the Lord. Are they not rather harming themselves, to their own shame?

Try to find a Holy Latin Mass in your area

[@lindahandley5267]

@Susan, I love the traditions too. I was confirmed in 1968, when Mass was still in Latin, the confessionals were up near the altar and they had just started doing communion in the hand, although some never switched. I don't remember doing the rails.I learned to say the Mass in Latin, along with the priest.

[@lindahandley5267]

@BeBe, our Church, St. Peter the Apostle, has a Latin mass every weekend.

[@Dflaming]

My thoughts:- 1. Chapel Veil 2. Confession before Mass 3. Communion on tongue, not hand and no chewing 4. Do not leave after communion. Judas did that. Love and honour God. Love Our Lady.

[@supreme87878]

Number 3 was what my grandma taught me.

[@RainsCloud777]

No chewing?

[@jeanettestroot5606]

I was also taught NO CHEWING. Plus we were to keep our mouths closed until we swallowed Jesus which was Very hard with a cold! Then there was NO chance of taking Jesus away for a black mass because you swallowed Him! We don’t need extra ordinary ministers of the Holy Eucharist who are called “EM’S” for Eucharistic ministers which dumb downs the true meaning of Persona Christi!!!!! I don’t care how long it takes to give us Jesus because other than hearing His words I’m there to receive Him with the church militants‼️ Then let’s have confessional boxes again! Then the one who is truly Persona Christi has no chance of getting his hands on someone confessing. Yes, he has other ways which we have seen and heard of but that helps minimize one way that may save a young person’s torments later‼️ Come on laity, we can make this happen. Maybe no money will open ears, eyes and hands to get these things done. Pay the priests who are helping and not the bishops. In my CA diocese he gets 18% of our collections weekly and then asks for thousands on top of that annually!!! Why, good question, the transparency is very cloudy! Maybe to support liturgical dancing or to go speak about global warming and immigration instead of our true religious and traditional practices which most of us are wanting! Mary is the mother of Jesus not the earth‼️

He was carrying a projector across the room and got his foot caught in the bottom of the cassock. He was running, holding the projector over his head and couldn't stop. My cousin and I couldn't get to him fast enough and were rolling on the floor laughing. It was like a scene from a comedy! LOL. He was Irish and he said, 'you'd a laughed if I'd broke me neck'!

Is it actually the safest? I know what you mean but the problem I have is that when the priest puts the host on your tongue he may accidently touch your tongue and have your saliva on his finger and then goes onto the next person.

Old traditions that I would love to see return ... 1. The Tabernacle's return to prominence above the altar. 2. Then the return of genuflecting before entering or when leaving a pew. 3. Nuns and sisters in traditional or modified habits. 4. The return of traditional Catholic Music and the choir returning to the choir loft. 5.

This was a great talk, thank you so much for sharing. To my complete shock as an adult I find two powerful things coming from the anguish and devastation of the Reformation: Evangelical converts to Catholicism bring a deep knowledge of the Bible and a tradition of biblical study that we as Catholics often sadly lack, and the Anglican and Lutheran converts to Catholicism bring back some of the more formal traditions that we have lost over the past few decades. Both types of converts bring a reverence and desire for the Eucharist that is so beautiful. I never in my life thought I could see anything good come from such a horrible time in Christianity as the Reformation, but God disposes as He will in his loving mercy and wisdom.

When I had Holy Communion teaching in 1962, we were told that we were not sacred enough to touch the host, only the priest was. And when you see the priest tidying up after communion, he wipes the crumbs back into the chalice as Nothing will be discarded because it is Our Lord. Also we used to put the paten under our chin, so no crumbs went on the floor, we would then take the communion, we weren’t allowed to chew it, we had to just swallow it, then pass it to the next person. This was just before they stopped Latin. When they changed it to English it was as if the church lost its soul. 🥲

To the fathers whose children received "accidental" Holy Communion: How hard is it to teach a young child to cross their arms over their chest if they accompany a parent to the altar? This is a pretty common practice to communicate to the priest that Holy Communion is not desired, whether child or adult (i.e. RCIA candidates). I see this practice every weekend at Mass. When a child's age is hard to discern, this practice should be taught to them. No excuse for "accidental" Holy Communion. I'm with the priest who said, "This is on you." At the very least, put the child in front of you when you approach the priest, and cross YOUR arms over the child's chest.

[@dianeleif3491]

I have to agree on this. Parents are the first teachers. My husband & I taught our children to cross their arms over their chests as toddlers, when we still carried them up to communion. As they learned to walk, they were always in front of us. Our priest never wondered what to do and the kids loved being blessed by Fr.B. by doing so they fully participated in the Mass at their level.

This before the changes of Vatican II hit our area and my brothers matter of factly observed pre Vatican II rituals such as St. Christopher medals, meatles Fridays, obligatory Sunday Mass and much, much more. This was all new to me so I had a lot of questions and I noticed these things meant someone was Catholic. I noticed that one of my favorite baseball players of the 1950s, Gil Hodges, wore a small chain around his neck must have held a St. Christopher medal so I deduced he must have been Catholic. All of this is to say that when we bear silent witness to our faith, we can and do create metanoia. Meatless Firidays. Scapulars. St. Christopher medals. Confessions on Saturday.

Thank you for this interesting talk. I grew up Calvinist but converted to the Anglican church as a teen. My local parish was a high church and I though that was just the way things were done. Confession before mass, on your knees from the start of the liturgy of the Eucharist. Up to the altar, kneel to receive, back to the pews and back on your knees. (Unless you needed prayer for healing in which case you stopped by the side chapel to receive the sacrament of Unction.) It was such a holy and devotional time. Then I moved countries and there were no Anglican churches so I visited a Catholic Church... and I was lost. No procession. No bells and whistles. No altar rail. I was kind of confused. I thought it would be more not less. Never knew why till I found this channel. Thanks for sharing where these traditions were from and it is great to see people searching and longing for these traditions and devotions again.

These are ecclesial tradition which can be adapted, modified, changed or abandoned. The temple of God is in everyone and Christ is in His words and the Eucharist.
