Historic Western Rite Photographs

In light of recent developments (to follow within a few days), I thought it would be rather timely to share these photos for interest's sake.


Archbishop Alexis (van der Mansbrugghe) serving the Western Rite Liturgy with Metropolitan Anthony (Bloom) of Sourozh - most likely the Roman Rite Liturgy of St Gregory


St John of Shanghai and San Francisco serving the Divine Liturgy of St Germanus of Paris - Gallican Rite


St John serving the Divine Liturgy


St John at the Cathedral of St Irenée in Paris


St John at the consecration of Bishop Jean-Nectaire (Kovalevsky) of Paris - the first known Western Orthodox bishop since the schism of the 11th century
