Mass is the term used of the celebration of the Eucharist (the Lord's Supper) in the Latin rites of the Roman Catholic Church and in some Anglican churches. The term mass or missa first became widely used in the time of Pope Gregory the Great (604 A.D.). The early Church used the terms 'breaking of the bread' (fractio panis) or 'liturgy' (see Acts 13:2, leitourgountes), as well as other terms.
