I am very pleased to see you have finally made a video about this most interesting but little spoken of subject. I recently noted to a friend of mine, “he really needs to do a video on rood screens!” And, lo and behold, you have!

Thank you, Father Felix. What an edifying work. Plenty there to encourage me to visit churches further afield.

Is this a repost or a remake of an older video? Or am I just imagining things? Great work as usual!

Rood Screens always remind me of Iconostases in the Orthodox Church, and appear to serve the same or similar purpose. Wonderful video!

You leave out the history of screening the mystery of the Mass - and this is why the church used bells to let the congregation know what was happening. The Orthodox Church also shares this tradition. Many churches had curtains as well,

Western Churches were all Orthodox before 1054. You are right about the curtain. it stems from the old temple in Jerusalem and its hanging (curtain) which kept the sanctuary out of sight. Also the moment when Christ died there was an earthquake which caused the curtain of the temple to rip in two. This is still the case in Orthodox Churches and its curtain at the Royal doors. it needs to be a curtain that has been teared into two pieces and being sewn back together again.

Many churches in Europe put the altar back out of vision with a gate so a rood screen wasn’t needed.

Yes altar rails replaced rood screens because the church started move towards more communal participation with the rise of protestantism.

Not scriptural though, read the scriptures, St. Paul Jesus came to restore unity to all creation…… “do not call unclean what God has created” etc…..Jesus became incarnate everywhere

Even the earliest churches separated the people from God and made themselves the middlemen.

Rood screens are more to do with the Temple Jesus did away with than the New Testament Church which was not to have decadent edifices, for they met in homes & simple places. No candles, no incense, no statues/graven images & stained glass windows, no altars, no priestly vestments or headgear and no burying corpses in their meeting rooms or ground.

So no good stuff then? Just banal protestantism? Truth is if you look at revelations the worship in heavsn is described with incense and an alter and people dressed in robes with candles. Churches try to emulate this. It may well be the case that churches met up in homes for what we might call bible study,but more often than not they met up in catachomes for what we would today call the mass (that being the sacreficial offering of Christ in the species of bread and wine) in which there would have been candles and incense and chanting. As for graven images, that only applies if a catholic where to say "this image of mary actually is mary" but no catholic says this as far as i am aware (though not actually being Roman catholic i dont know, but that's my understanding). I will only agree on the idea of rood screens being sub par as they put a rather irritating barrier between the congregation and the elivations of the bread ams wine

@scented-leafpelargonium3366 Wrong answer! They use small scaled versions of what you are describing. Even without large roods sometimes, they had small scaled versions of them but still retained riddel posts or curtains, side altar curtains, hanging pyx, etc.

They literally had all of that. We know from early Christian’s such as St Igantius of Antioch that we had a liturgy,priesthood,incense,altar,etc. your comment is literally only brought about by your ignorance of church history or scripture in general
