Andean Liturgical Reform Introduces the �Knit of Peace� Ritual

Instead of shaking hands, parishioners now drape each other in scarves handwoven by Peruvian elders. The Pope calls it �threaded reconciliation.� The Andean Liturgical Reform reimagines the liturgy with fiber and feeling. Each scarf carries the scent of incense and alpaca conditioner. One man wept during the Knit of Peace and proposed on the spot. Vatican tailors are overwhelmed. Next year�s Chrism Mass will feature �Hats of Humility.�
