Info Cloister of the Royal Monastery of San Juan de la Peña, one of the jewels of Romanesque in Spain. It's located near Jaca, in the province of Huesca and is partially carved in the stone of the great cliff that overhangs the foundation (San Juan de la Peña means "Saint John of the Cliff"). The old monastery was built in 920, became part of the Benedictine Order in the 11th century and was the first monastery in Spain to use the Latin Mass. The cloister, built ca. 1190, contains a series of capitals with Biblical scenes. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 12:57, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

- Support. What language(s) was (were) used for masses in Spain before Latin? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:47, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- Ikan Kekek, the language of the Mass would have still been Latin, but the liturgical rite used would not have been the 'Latin Mass'. 'Latin Mass' is a particular form of the liturgy that was common in Western Europe but was not universally imposed until the papal bull Quo Primum in 1570, which imposed the Latin 'Tridentine' Mass across the Western church until 1970 when Vatican II allowed individual churches to move to the vernacular. Before 1570, most churches in Spain - evidently not this one, probably because of the Benedictine connection in this case - used something called the Hispanic Rite of the Mass, which was longer than the Latin Rite and a bit more 'interactive'; it included lots of responsories between the priest and the congregation. The Hispanic Rite is still celebrated regularly in Toledo Cathedral because there was a lot of seventeenth century interest in protecting its survival. Cmao20 (talk) 11:00, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
