Initial S This initial begins the Introit for the feast of the Purification of the Virgin (Feb. 2), 'Suscepimus deus misericordiam tuam in medio templi tui...' (Within thy temple, O God, we have received your mercy). The liturgy above is for the Blessing of the Candles. This image shows the reverse of a leaf with a decorated initial from a gradual. This side of the leaf, the true recto, contains the antiphon 'Exsurge Domine adiuva nos ...' for the Blessing of the Candles. Script: Rotunda
