Medieval Font

 

 

The font of St Luke's Chapel in Norwich Cathedral is a medieval seven sacrament font and originally came from the lost church of St Mary-in-the-Marsh, which once stood inside the Cathedral Close.

Reminds me of an anthem I'm practicing for this coming Sunday's eucharist, a setting of Psalm 122:6 composed by Herbert Howells.

IX

Norwich Cathedral

"The IX monogram or XI monogram is a type of early Christian monogram looking like the spokes of a wheel, sometimes within a circle.

The IX monogram is formed by the combination of the letter 'I' or Iota for Iesous (Ιησους, Jesus in Greek) and 'X' or Chi for Christos (Χριστος, Christ in Greek). The spokes can also be standalone, without the circle. These monograms can often be found as ancient burial inscriptions." -- Wikipedia
