1953 Press Photo Singing of the litany St. John's Episcopal Church - mjb93994

The Episcopal church's ancient form of worship was illustrated Sunday at St. John's Episcopal church, 2612 W. Mineral Street, as Father Thomas A. Madden knelt to sing the litany, a rite which dates from the fourth century. Especially during Lent, this service of special prayers is often used as an introduction to the service of holy communion.
