The sanctus (the 'thrice holy' of Isaiah 6.3) is found in almost all eucharistic prayer, ancient and modern. Its origin as a constituent element in this prayer is one of the unsolved mysteries of Christian liturgy. In this study, Dr Spinks makes a careful investigation into its background and sources.
