The New Liturgical Movement has a very informative and interesting article today under this title. It is about the old Roman practice of fasting until after Mass which was celebrated after Nones at the stational churches, and then followed immediately by Vespers. The post links liturgy and fasting to the specific nature of the Papal celebrations in the Rome of the earlier and high middle ages and its legacy in the traditional Missal and Breviary.
The piece can be read at Vespers in the Morning?
