This picture of the Latin Novus Ordo at Assumption Grotto in Detroit was taken on Palm Sunday of 2006. The pastor is celebrating ad orientem.
The next time someone tells you that this (using the high altar) is a thing of the past, feel free to send them a link to a post of your choice in this blog. Pictures will be added periodically throughout the year as events happen. I only take my camera to church on certain occasions and in bewteen, I'll be just.....blogging.
Herea are a few other posts with good shots of the Novus Ordo celebrated ad orientem for anyone visiting for the first time.
