Theirs was celebrated (as was the original) without organs, gold patens, jeweled chalices, beeswax candles, lace, silk, and incense.  No marble altars, no ambos, no chanting choir.  Just the Church, the Body of Christ, assembled in someone's house, welcoming Christ into their hearts and bodies.  Imagine!
