It ...It is a foreshadowing of the Second Coming. <br /><br />It is the same reason why in traditional (read: VERY old) Catholic cemeteries, the laity were buried with their feet towards the east and the clergy, towards the west. It also is the same idea from which the ancient practice of orienting altars towards the east came from. <br /><br />To get it, you have to picture everybody standing straight up from their position. At the Second Coming, when all will be raised, the laity will rise facing Christ coming from the east (think sunrise - or "Son-rise") to greet him and/or face Him for eternal judgment. The clergy, as they are in persona Christi, rise to face God’s people, being oriented as the coming Christ will. While I assume they too will need to both greet Jesus and be judged, it is ultimately a tip to the understanding that they are priests FOREVER, acting even in the world to come in the person of Christ. (Hence the ontological change) While there are some theological problems with the reasoning, to understand it, you have to appreciate the symbolism of it. <br /><br />And so, It is the same concept at funerals. Should you be mid-funeral and the Parousia happen to hit, 1)You’ll need to change your shorts but 2) and more importantly, everyone will by facing in the right direction – a people rising to greet their salvation at the altar. <br /><br />Do I get a free ‘Ale Buck’?
