The dedication of the Lenten Array this evening.  Picture showing The Reverend Canon Dr David Kennedy, next to the high altar, wearing the high altar chasuble showing the coloured desert grasses and a small crown of thorns on the front of the vestment.

vestments for Lent

left to right - stoles, dalmatic, chasuble and tunicle for high altar; chasuble for nave altar

Completed today, all the vestments for Lent, all pressed and freshly ironed.  The chasuble, dalmatic and tunicle have a central panel of desert grasses, whilst the chasuble for the nave altar remains plain.  The linen representing sackcloth, the grasses the wilderness, and the colours, new life.
