Pre-1955 Liturgy

[Gnarwhal]

I know there's two, I guess rubrics, that are followed when celebrating the TLM and it depends on the celebrant or maybe the order. Most as I understand it use the 1962 but I heard a really compelling case from a priest for using the pre-1955 instead. And I've also heard a lot of Catholics this year saying they're going out of their way to go to parishes celebrating the pre-1955 Holy Week.

My question is, is there a specific year before 1955 that most of these parishes/priests use? I mean pre-1955 is very broad. So what liturgy are they actually using?

Does anyone here happen to attend a parish that regularly celebrates a pre-1955 Mass and/or Holy Week? What's it like? Are there any known orders, licit or not, who primarily use pre-1955 liturgy?

I honestly don’t think it’s very common. There might be some schismatic groups who celebrate the pre-1955 liturgy. As far as I know, FSSP celebrates the 1962 Roman missal.

If memory serves, holy Saturday was celebrated in the morning rather than at night. I don’t recall all the other changes.

Oh, and I’ve only been to the extraordinary form about 5 times. I attend the new mass every week and holy day. I’m no expert by any means.
