Late antique station service
On certain station days, on which a station service was held under the direction of the bishop or his deputy in the urban Roman liturgy of late antiquity , the bishop, clergy and the faithful gathered in a meeting church (collectakirche) for a first short service (collecta) . From there the procession to the station church took place. If necessary, there will also be a short service at other churches and shrines along the way. Collecta processions took place on days of penance such as the Quatembertage , the Feast of Candlemas , Ash Wednesday and several days of the week during Lent . With the adoption of the Roman liturgy in the Franconian area in the early Middle Ages , the rite of the collecta was expanded.
