Holy Week and Easter 2017
|
|
This year's Holy Week and Easter celebrations saw rocking rectors and flinching acolytes, hot wax and duelling clergy, short-of-breath trumpeters and a miserable Miserere, impish monks and virgeless vergers – and, to top it all off, stale jokes and bad haircuts! And naturally our Mystery Worshippers were there to take it all in – "meek members of the Resurrection," as poet Emily Dickinson so vividly put it.
