Solemn Vespers from Malta

One of our Maltese readers again wanted to share some images from the liturgy in Malta, this time, from yesterday, where solemn vespers was offered by bishop Emeritus Nicholas Cauchi in Gozo, Malta.






Sights from Merton College, Oxford

Below are some exclusive photos from Merton College, Oxford.


Merton High Altar
The High Altar in Merton College's medieval chapel is prepared for Solemn Mass. Incidentally, the altarpiece is 16th-century, of the school of Tintoretto, and the surround, c.1923 is by Sir Ninian Comper.

Entrance Procession
The Procession enters the Quire. Behind the Crucifer are the cantors of the Schola Sainte Cecile who once again sang the most sublime chant and fauxbourdon at the Solemn Mass. There are more photos on their blog too.
