The post also uses the correct word "celebrate" for this Mass.

It's not religion -- connecting man to God -- it's archeology -- connecting man to the physical artifacts of his past.
PhD student Eleanor McCullough pieced together the Mass used in York churches in the 14th Century based on manuscripts from the period held by York Minster and the Bodleian Library.
This may well be the first time that a York Lady Mass has been reconstructed and performed from the medieval manuscripts here in York since the Reformation.
It will be used in a special ceremony on Saturday 18 July at All Saints Church North Street, in York, to celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of North Street.

The Mystery of the Incarnation
There is a priest who I admire, but he sometimes makes mistakes. It is my misfortune to be around when he does. I will avoid a sin of detraction by not identifying him.
Christus natus est.
Christ is born. We celebrate this liturgically and in the secular world on Christmas Day. December 25.
Christus incarnatus est.
Christ is incarnated. Christ takes on a human nature. We celebrate this liturgically on the Solemnity of the Annunciation. March 25.
Life begins at conception. Am I pedantic?
