crossbearer

Both the school cop and the crossbearer were gone.

Every Procession is led by a Crossbearer that caries its own Cross.

The Priest in every of the Churches Blesses the Crossbearer and encourages him, and the singers sing the Gospin plač, and the walking continues.

It was witnessed by the archbishop's crossbearer, three of Theobald's nephews and the clerk who presumably was in charge of them, a chancellor, two chaplains who were monks, a butler, dispenser, chamberlain, steward, cook, usher, porter and marshal.
