of the Lord’s Supper, a second Mass may be celebrated in the evening in churches or public and semipublic
oratories. In case of true necessity, he may permit this Mass to be celebrated even in the morning but then
only for the faithful who are in no way able to participate in an Evening Mass. Care should be taken that
celebrations of this kind should not be permitted for private advantage and they should not prejudice
the principal Evening Mass.
Priests who have already concelebrated the Chrism Mass or another Mass for the benefit of the faithful
may concelebrate again at the Evening Mass.
Funeral Masses are forbidden on Holy Thursday and during the Easter Triduum. The burial rites may be
carried out in the church at a suitable hour.
For the Evening Mass, the tabernacle must be empty; the hosts required for communion at that Mass and
on Good Friday must be consecrated at the Evening Mass.
From the end of the Gloria in excelsis of the evening Mass on Holy Thursday until the Gloria of the Easter
Vigil, the organ and other musical instruments may only be used to support the singing; cf. Missale
