On Sunday we visited the church Little St Mary's (Anglican) for a second time. Little St Mary's is a mediæval parish church which was built in the late nineteenth century. We attended their High Mass which is a very formal "liturgical and sacramental witness in the Catholic tradition of the Church of England." (www.lsm.org.uk/) The mass is very beautiful and reverent.
The church building is gorgeous and each Sunday there has been sunlight pouring through the stained glass windows making amazing sun beams in the smoke from the incense. There was even a butterfly fluttering around in the sunlight! So magical.
I got to take some pictures this time while we stayed afterwards for coffee (no wine like last week). See more.
LSM is in The Diocese of Ely (another city in Cambridgeshire) and it is celebrating its 900th Anniversary this year.
In honor of their 900th Anniversary and the 800th Anniversary of the University of Cambridge Bishop Anthony of Ely walked from Ely to Cambridge (abt. 17 miles) and then took a punt to the shore near the church. People were invited to welcome him on the shore and then accompany him as he walked to Peterhouse (the oldest and smallest of the Cambridge Colleges). So we (Brandon and I, Peter and Jill, and Kevin) went along to observe the ceremony. It was an interesting event to see and we ended up comprising a large portion of the welcomers.
