Muta (group) of Art Card

The Carteglorie (1) comes from the church of Santa Maria della Misericordia and belong to the confraternity of Misericordia e Morte, appointed to bury the deceased who were in poverty (2). The carteglorias were purchased when the confraternity, having left the original site (3) and moved into the basements of the cathedral after 1654, worked to embellish and furnish the premises as necessary to celebrate the functions.

The carteglorias are characterized by a wide gilded frame, carved with large motifs with decidedly Baroque-style flowers. A glass protects the tables on which the liturgical formulas are written. The rich decoration makes us understand how these are objects of value, used for solemn celebrations and not for those of daily use for which much simpler objects were used without ornamentation. These artifacts are the tangible evidence of local devotion and the importance of the brotherhoods in the history of the territory.

1) The carteglorie were used in the Mass liturgy starting from the age of the Counter-Reformation, they present three tables, usually within a frame as in this case, which were placed above the altar, one in the center and two at the sides. The tables showed some formulas or parts of the missal, which are part of the ordinary of the mass. Most of these formulas were recited by the priest bent over the altar. The central cartegloria reported the prayers of the canon and the offertory, to which other formulas or prayers could be added such as the Gloria in Excelsis Deo (from which the name cartegloria derives), the Credo or other.

The cartegloria on the right looking at the altar (in cornu Epistolae) reported the Lavabo psalm and the Deus qui humanae substantiae (offertory), while the other (in cornu Evangelii) the beginning of the gospel according to John (in the Roman missal of the rite ancient called last gospel, because it was always recited at the end of the mass). During the Eucharistic Adoration the cards had to be removed. In the years following the Second Vatican Council, with the changes of the new liturgy, the cartegloria became useless (because they contained texts no longer present in the missal) with the Motu Proprio Summorium Pontificum "Pope Benedict XVI approved the" ancient "form of the Roman Rite

2) The confraternity was founded in Ripatransone in 1557 and initially had some hospital premises near the church of San Gregorio Magno and San Giovanni.

3) When these two churches were demolished to make way for the new cathedral of San Gregorio Magno.
