Image Title: Ordination to the Major Order of Priest
Description: This engraving illustrates one aspect of ordination to the third of three major orders: priesthood, the seventh and last of a series of ordinations culminating in full priesthood. The bishop, seated on his throne with attendant priests at his side, speaks to the ordainees kneeling before him with lighted candles in their hands. Each wears an alb and stole and has the priest’s vestment, the chasuble, folded over one arm.
