| has gloss | eng: A verger (or virger, so called after the staff of the office) is a person, usually a layman, who assists in the ordering of religious services, particularly in Anglican churches. History The Office of the Verger has its roots in the early days of the Church of Englands history. The Order shares certain similarities with the former Minor Orders of Porter and Acolyte. Historically Vergers were responsible for the order and upkeep of the house of worship, including the care of the church buildings, its furnishings, and sacred relics, preparations for liturgy, conduct of the laity, and grave-digging responsibilities. Although there is no definitive historical examination of the Office of Verger, evidence from Rochester, Lincoln, Exeter, and Salisbury Cathedrals points to the existence of Vergers even in the twelfth century. |
