Abstract

The ancient office of Santa Faç in Alacant had for centuries its own liturgy. The lectures of the liturgy were referenced to miracles attributed to the image of this city, and the hymns were referenced to the holy face of Jesus Christ. These Latin texts, forgotten today, were part of the originality of a celebration dating back to the fifteenth century. This article shows these texts edited from three different sources of xvii and xix centuries. They are accompanied of a translation.
