Introit
Introit. In the W. Church, the opening act of worship in the Mass. Originally it consisted of a whole Psalm, sung with antiphon and Gloria Patri; later only a part of the Psalm was sung and in the RC Church some other chant may now be substituted. Introits were dropped from the BCP in 1552 but their use in the C of E was widely revived unofficially in the 19th cent. and the ASB provided for a hymn, canticle, or Psalm at the entry of the ministers; CW mentions only a hymn.
