* At the time of the Mass in Latin back to the people, three written in Latin and sometimes tables hand-decorated, were placed on the altar, one on the left contained the text of the Gospel according to Saint John's prologue, that The priest said at the end of Mass. In the center a table in three columns included the Gloria, the Creed and prayers of consecration right the third contained the prayers of blessing water and sink. Often these guns are highly decorated and sometimes hand. The use of the central canon sometimes remains for the "Mass of Paul VI" (or "ordinary form of the Roman Rite") celebrated in Latin.
