The Deacon places the ciborium into the tabernacle. All remain kneeling in silent adoration
of the Sanctssimum for a little while. The sign having been g iven, the Celebrant, ministers,
and ser vers return to the sacristy. The Celebrant and Deacon put on violet stoles.

S TR IP P ING OF T H E A L TA RS

At the high altar, the Celebrant says in a clear voice:

ANTIPHON. Ps 21: 19

D T
ivisrunt sibi vestimn- hey parted my garments
ta mea: et super vestem amongst them, and upon
meam misrunt sortem. my vesture they cast lots.

In the same voice, the Celebrant says the f irst words of Psalm 21:

Deus, Deus meus, rspice in me : O God my God, look upon Me:

quare me dereliqusti? why hast Thou forsaken Me?

The rest of the psalm is recited by others, while the Celebrant and the sacred ministers ( or
ser vers ) strip all the church altars except the one where the Blessed Sacrament is solemnly
adored.
