O. Carm. The Carmelites of the Ancient Observance known also as The Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel pre-date the Discalced Carmelite Order (O.C.D.) and, unlike the Discalced Carmelites, who were forced at the time of their foundation to adopt the Roman Tridentine Rite, celebrated Holy Mass and the Office "according to the Rite of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem" : a rite which incorporates in its solemn form elements of the Eastern Rites and in its less solemn form elements of the various Rites or Uses of the Dioceses of England to which the early Carmelites migrated following the Crusades SARUM * YORK * FORD * …  the DOMINICAN RITE influenced the O. Carm.

The Carmelite Rite Breviary

The Divine Office also presents some noteworthy features. The first Vespers of certain feasts and the Vespers during Lent have a responsory usually taken from Matins. Compline has various hymns according to the season, and also special antiphons for the Canticle. The lessons at Matins follow a somewhat different plan from those of the Roman Office. The singing of the genealogies of Christ after Matins on Christmas and the Epiphany gave rise to beautiful ceremonies. After Tenebræ in Holy Week (sung at midnight) comes the chant of the Tropi; all the Holy Week services present interesting archaic features. Other particularities are the antiphons Pro fidei meritis etc. on the Sundays from Trinity Sunday to Advent and the verses after the psalms on Trinity, the feasts of St. Paul and St. Laurence. The hymns are those of the Roman Office; the proses appear to be a uniform collection which remained practically unchanged from the thirteenth century to 1544, when all but four or five were abolished. The Ordinal prescribes only four processions in the course of the year: on Candlemas, Palm Sunday, the Ascension and the Assumption.

The calendar of saints, in the two oldest recensions of the Ordinal, exhibits some feasts proper to the Holy Land, namely some of the early bishops of Jerusalem, the Biblical Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and Lazarus. The only special features were the feast of St. Anne, probably due to the fact that the Carmelites occupied for a short time a convent dedicated to her in Jerusalem (vacated by Benedictine nuns at the capture of that city in 1187), and the octave of the Nativity of Our Lady, which also was proper to the order.
