This is one of two studies on ritual action that I easily recommend to interested laity (as opposed to liturgists). In the 24 actions, Donghi covers all the common gestures. Donghi is firmed rooted in the post-Vatican II church - thinking to include being seated and listening in his actions. That it to say that the actions of the assembly are not considered as ancillary to the Eucharist but as a significant action in their own rights.
