The Ambrosian Rite is a form of liturgical practice used primarily in the Archdiocese of Milan, Italy. Named after Saint Ambrose, the 4th-century bishop of Milan, this rite is distinct from the more widely known Roman Rite. It features unique prayers, hymns, and rituals that reflect the local culture and traditions of the Milanese community. This rite is celebrated during the Mass and other sacraments, incorporating elements such as the Ambrosian chant and specific readings from the Bible. The Ambrosian Rite emphasizes the importance of community and the role of the bishop, maintaining a rich heritage that has evolved over centuries while remaining rooted in its origins.
