Lector
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
A lector, in Latin, is a broad definition for a person who reads, aloud or not. It is also a specific title, not translated in many languages as English (but in French for example Lecteur), in various uses :
[edit]
Academic
- teaching office
- lector jubilate is a title, equivalent to Doctor of Divinity (e.g. at the Catholic university of Leuven=Louvain)
[edit]
Ecclesiastical
- liturgic function, also performed by laymen, of reading to the congregation: mainly the epistle, but not the evangile (reserved for the Celebrant; an exeption may be made for other parts in the role-play reading at Palm Sunday when lacking another priest), the devotinal prayers and various other texts (generally not part of the prescribed liturgy)
- Reader (minor orders)
