The Anglican Canon George Nairn-Briggs, Provost of Wakefield Cathedral, West Yorkshire, says that the dance as well comes from the Catholic Latin mass[1]. The priest would perform his movements with his back to the congregation, who could not hear well the Latin words nor see clearly his movements.<BR/><BR/>[1] ^ Daily Telegraph: Doing hokey cokey 'mimics Latin Mass', David Bamber, Sunday 14 March 1999.Splinters of Silverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02899357787697070658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35324441.post-16644299190425713182007-03-12T10:29:00.000-06:002007-03-12T10:29:00.000-06:00Just as long as you were not dissin' one of my fav...Just as long as you were not dissin' one of my favorite stories: Pokey Little Puppy!!! :-)<BR/><BR/>Shalom,<BR/>Bobby ValentineStoned-Campbell Disciplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807468566670784346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35324441.post-54281842798376382172007-03-11T19:30:00.000-06:002007-03-11T19:30:00.000-06:00Amen Brother!Amen Brother!Bobby Cohoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11708377853412418057noreply@blogger.com
