The Book of the Gospels for use at Roman Catholic Holy Mass Gold and silver stamped front, back, and spine Elegantly bound red hardcover Superior printing on rich paper Highly readable 14 point font As the most visible book to the assembly, The Book of the Gospels is meant to convey the power of the word of God to the parish community. The reverent act of processing The Book of the Gospels from gathering to altar, and from altar to ambo, is an important part of the liturgical celebration. The traditional Roman design of this edition emphasizes the glory of the word through the use of beautiful gold and silver stamped liturgical art. This book has a three year cycle - Years A, B, and C. Cover art includes an enhanced version of the cross that introduces the Classic Edition Lectionary, of which the Gospel book is a component. Each symbol on the cover has special meaning: The four gold medallions represent the four evangelists; the symbols in the lower right and left corners represent the people of God; and those in the upper right and left corners represent the heavenly hosts. A handsome work for emphasizing the dignity of the Word.
