This year, the Bishop will be coming to consecrate a new Altar Stone with our patron saint's relic, and while he is here, the Bishop will also bless our altar cross using the "More Solemn Blessing of the Altar Cross". This is all following the 1962 rubrics. Does anybody know which one of these ceremonies should be performed first, the Altar Stone of the Altar Cross? Our inclination is Stone than Cross, but some clear rubrics would be helpful.
