The black mass is the complete opposite of a Christian mass. It is the blasphemous defilement of the Holy rite according to Christian beliefs.

The black mass involves naked virgins on the altars, the diabolical rituals are held over the buttocks of a naked woman, there is an inverted cross which the celebrants spit and step on during the ritual, the host; or Eucharist is stabbed and a back ward blessing is then said. The backward blessing is the Lord’s prayer recited back wards in an effort to conjure forth the devil during the ritual. Sometimes toads and chickens are sacrificed and the host or Eucharist being desecrated and made of noxious substances the congregation is then sprinkled with urine rather than holy water. This is according to experts such as theologians and demonologists who got their information from witches that were tortured in order to obtain a confession during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Black mass was used in the late 1800s to describe the black magic ceremonies that were taking place as part of black magic rituals. Through out history there has never been any evidence that the black mass was ever performed by witches but the is evidence in modern times that some

Satanist have indeed performed black masses
