At the office of the Miserere, which is sung in the Sistine chapel at Rome on Wednesday of Holy week, a cere- mony takes place In which a triangular candlestic! upon which are 15 can- ponding to the number of psalms recited, is placed at the epistle side of the altar. After each psalm, one of the candles is extinguished by a master of cere- monies and after the benedictus the candle on the top is alone not extin- guished, but is removed and concealed behind the altar and not brought out until the end of the service. While the canticle Is sung the six candles on the altar are extinguished as well as those above the rails, The custom of concealing the last and most elevated candle and bringing it forward burning at the end of the service, is an allusion to the death and resurrection of Christ. In the same manner the other candles extinguished one after the other may represent the prophets who were s ssively put to death before the crucifixion of their Lord. dles, corr Dreaming of Arms.
