Gestures at Mass

FR. WILLIAM SAUNDERS

I have always wondered about some of the gestures I see at Mass — the making of the sign of the cross at the Gospel, bowing at the Creed and shaking hands for the sign of peace. Where do these come from? Are they required or options, since some people do not do them?
