Faldistory

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An episcopal official insignia is named as Faldistorium ( Latinized from Old High German falden and stuol ; also faldi (e) sto (a) lium ) or folding chair . It is a bishop's chair with legs crossed in pairs and armrests , but without a backrest . It is usually on the epistle side , i.e. to the right of the altar.

Such a chair was a prominent seat for ecclesiastical and secular dignitaries and rulers in antiquity and into the late Middle Ages. When the bishop's chair became common for the local bishop in the late Middle Ages , the Faldistory was the seat for non-local bishops, auxiliary bishops and infuled abbots ; it was considered a special honor if such a bishop was allowed to sit on the cathedra . The local bishop used the Faldistory at times for funeral masses , the Good Friday liturgy , the Christian mass , priestly ordinations and confirmations . In Eucharistic adoration it was used by the kneeling bishop to support the arms from the later Middle Ages.

In the Caeremoniale episcoporum of 1984, reformed by the Second Vatican Council , the Faldistorium is no longer provided. It is only used in the extraordinary form of the Roman rite .
