As Exhibit A in this inquiry, I present the following from the New Liturgical Movement.
I am always rather interested in showing images of the usus antiquior from outside the context of the usual North American and European venues; not because of any lack of interest in seeing these things from those venues, but instead out of a keen interest in showing the life of the usus antiquior in as broad as possible a spectrum. It was by way of Accion Liturgica that I came across the following images from the ICRSS showing the installation of a new parish priest in their parish of Notre Dame de Lourdes in Libreville, Gabon by Mgr. Basile Mvé Engone.
How wonderful!




I'm sure there are whackjobs aplenty who will decry this as some sort of Western cultural gentrification since there are probably not any native Latin speakers in the congregation. The fact that it's beautiful will be completely lost of such tooth-gnashers. Luckily, the folks actually at the Mass don't seem to mind all that much. There are more pictures at the link. Have a look.
