Evensong procession

[sawyl]

Walking home through the cathedral close, I happened to catch the end of choral evensong in honour of the 950th anniversary of Our Lady of Walsingham. Just as I was passing, the congregation came out and processed around the green, singing as they did so — speakers had been rigged to relay the organ. Despite my complete lack of faith, I found the whole thing rather wonderful; inspired by the distant memories of the cultural christianity of my schooldays, no doubt.
