Song of Mary

One of the pieces we sang at evensong in Norwich Cathedral was a setting of the Magnificat:

He hath put down the mighty from their seat: and hath exalted the humble and meek.

He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich he hath sent empty away.

Despenser Reredos

 

 

There is an extraordinary story behind this altar in the St. Luke's Chapel at Norwich Cathedral, which makes me appreciate all the more the work done by the people who restore such artifacts.

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.

Norwich Cathedral

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