Earlier in the year, there was an article in The Suppository which was rather uncharitable towards His Hermeneuticalness. So many people felt rather strongly that Damian Thompson and Fr. Z ran campaigns to raise money for some rather nice vestments.Gaudete Sunday provided the opportunity to bring the vestments out again, and we also were fortunate enough to have a High Mass on the Sunday morning, so the entire kit and caboodle got an airing!
I took photos, keen to see how the "rose" colour would look with my snazzy phone... last year, I had to use my camera phone, and the very small lens has a distorting effect on colour balance.
Is that Fr. Alcuin Reid I see?
ReplyDeleteNow those ARE vestments!
ReplyDeleteDear Mulier Fortis. Excellent pictures. Rose Vestments depicted perfectly. Nice bit of kit. Augers well for Christmas Mass !!!
ReplyDeleteLovely pics, MF. And, I notice, a very Oratorian cut to the humeral veil—unusual: the Oratorian HV is traditionally cut very generously, as in this example. Perhaps it came from Richard Luzar, an expert in Oratorian vestments.
ReplyDeleteCWA - it was Dr. Reid (not Father just yet, but Deo volente, soon!)
ReplyDeletePastor in Valle - yes indeed... well spotted! And glad you enjoyed the photos. My camera is pretty much idiot proof, so I can't take all the credit...
