“In die nativitatis: Et sic eat processio circa claustrum hoc ordine. Imprimis sacristes virgas in manibus gestantes; deinde puer cum aqua benedicta; deinde tres cruces a tribus accolites…deinde duo ceroferarii; deinde thuribularii…deinde subdiaconus et diaconus…post diaconum eat sacerdos…choro itaque sequente.” [On Christmas Day: And thus they shall process around the cloister, in this order: At the beginning Sacristans bearing rods in their hands; then a boy with Holy Water; then three crosses carried by three acolytes…then two torches; then the thurifers…then the subdeacon and deacon…after the deacon comes the priest and then the choir follows.” This is what is shown in this illustration from the 1508 SARUM PROCESSIONALE; those in holy orders are represented by their tonsured heads. The verger’s wand — ahead of the procession itself — can be seen at upper left.
