Mozarabic rite

The Mozarabic Rite, also called the Visigothic Rite or Hispanic Rite, is a form of Christian worship within the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church, the Western Rite liturgical family of the Orthodox Church and in the Spanish Reformed Episcopal Church. Its beginning dates to the 7th century, and is localized in the Iberian Peninsula (Hispania). The "Mozarabs" is a scholarly term for the Christians living under Muslim rulers in Al-Andalus. The Mozarabic Rite's origins predates the Al-Andalus and Visigothic periods. The rite was superseded by the Roman Rite as part of a wider programme of liturgical standardization within the Catholic Church.
