Le rite du Lavabo a une origine purement pratique. Le prêtre jadis devait manipuler à l'offertoire un grand nombre d'offrandes. Il procédait à des encensements. Tout cela lui avait sali les mains et il les lavait en vue de la consécration. Selon une évolution que l'on constate dans toute la liturgie, on a voulu que ce geste soit accompagné d'une prière. Cela donnait à cette action utilitaire une signification spirituelle. Celui qui va offrir le sacrifice est astreint à une pureté toute particulière. 1, record 3, French, - Lavabo
