Ceremony of Holy Mass (Moon)

i059

For interpretation, see preceding Tablets. [Outlined figures numbered one through twelve are the signs of the sun, or the 12 signs of the zodiac. The numbered outlines thirteen through twenty-five represent the thirteen signs of the moon, that is, the 13 moons (months) of the solar year. E is the sun. A, B, C, and D represent the four phases of the moon.* F refers to the zodiac and G refers to the 13 moon signs. The order of prayer would be: moon A to moon B to moon C to moon D to E (sun) to F (12 signs of zodiac) to G (moon signs). Presumably there were separate anthems for each of the seven in the sequence. –ed.] *The waxing moon is shown by the moon being light (white disk); the waning moon is shown by the moon being dark (dark disk). Therefore, moon A represents the new moon (then from new moon to half full); moon B is half-full moon (then from half full to full moon); moon C is full moon (shown starting to wane, then it goes to half empty); and moon D is shown as the empty moon (i.e., from half empty to empty or new moon). Note that images A, B, and C correspond to 35/D.51, 35/D.52, and 35/D.53 and their corresponding images, see image i033. Jehovih
