It reveals in a special way the communion of the disciples of Christ. The bishop celebrates the Eucharist in many churches of his diocese but the Mass in the cathedral has a specific meaning. In our paper we stress the role of the cathedral as the center of the liturgical life of the diocese. We focus on the new name of the Mass celebrated by the bishop: the former name pontifical Mass has been changed into station Mass of the diocesan bishop. Finally we give a general view of this Mass. Bishop’s Mass in the cathedral should reflect beauty, simplicity and order, therefore it requires the guidance of the master of ceremony. In our article we describe his duties and ministry. We give special attention to the liturgy in the cathedral because is the pattern for the liturgy in other churches of the diocese and it is a school of divine service. It was its role in the past centuries and today.polCC-BY-ND - Uznanie autorstwa - Bez utworów zależnychliturgiaMsza świętaliturgia katedralnaMsza stacyjnaMsza pontyfikalnahistoria liturgiiliturgikaliturgyMasscathedral liturgyStation MassPontifical Masshistory of liturgyliturgicsArticle
