Dry Mass
Dry Mass. An abbreviated form of Mass, common in the late Middle Ages. It was not properly a Mass at all, since the Offertory, Canon, and Communion were omitted. It was used, for instance, when a priest wished to say a second Mass on a particular day or if a priest who had not broken his fast was not available.
