Canstrisius (Or Cantrensius)

was an officer of the Church of Constantinople, whose duty it was to look after the pontifical vestments of the patriarch; to assist him to habit himself; to hold the censer at mass, or the veil of the chalice; and to sprinkle the blessed water upon the people, while the hymn, of the Holy Trinity was sung.
