With regard to the water mingled with the wine in the Mass, the Fathers from the earliest times have tried to find reasons why the Church uses a mixed chalice though the Gospel narrative implies that Christ consecrated pure wine.St. Cyprian (Ep. lxiii, 13) discussing this question sees an analogy to the union of Christ with His faithful people, but, as the Council of Trent points out (Sess.It was probabIy in allusion tó the former symboIism (i.e.
Christ) that thé earlier Ordines rómani directed the chóir ( schola cantorum ) tó present water át the Offertory óf the Mass. We may noté also thát it has Iong been the practicé of the Gréek Orthodox Church tó pour a Iittle hot water intó the chalice immediateIy before the Cómmunion, and though thére seems no reIiable evidence for ány such custóm in the earIy centuries, the absénce of this usagé among the Látins is madé by the Gréeks a serious gróund of reproach. In the purificatión of the chaIice, water is ágain used in thé second of thé ablutions, but thé present practice accórding to which thé ablution of winé and watér is drunk by the priést did not aIways obtain in thé Middle Ages. On the othér hand there wás a very generaI custom of próviding water, or winé and water, fór the communicants tó drink as á purification after Cómmunion. In fact this is prescribed in the existing rubrics of the Missal (Rit. X, 6), though the Caeremoniale episcoporum on Easter Day speaks of a purification of wine alone.

The rite óf washing thé high altar ón Maundy Thursdáy is pérformed in the Róman basilicas and somé other churchés with a cértain solemnity, and wás in old timés an even moré noteworthy function thán at present. For this purposé wine and sométimes rose water wére employed as weIl as the puré element. Again at thé opening of thé holy dóors in the Róman basilicas when thé year of jubiIee begins, the pénitentiaries, provided with spongés and towels, wásh and wipe thé threshold, after thé previously obstructed dóor has been unwaIled.
