Latin Mass Society Pilgrimage to St. Winifrede's, Holywell

Hilary White of Orwell's Picnic (whom I met while in Rome recently) sent to the NLM these lovely photographs of a Mass in the usus antiquior celebrated as part of the Latin Mass Society's annual pilgrimage to St. Winifrede's shrine at Holywell, Wales.

The altar, with a nice, simple Roman dignity to it -- the only thing that might add to this would be the use of reliquaries in place of the flowers (though this is not to be taken as a critique let it be known).





A second post by Hilary White details more about the pilgrimage, St. Winifrede's and the Holy Well itself:


For those of us with English and Catholic heritage in our veins, can there be more consoling a sight than the display of the Catholic religion in the public English sphere, via processions, the sight of velvet Roman copes, incense and the Blessed Sacrament?
