St. Aldhelm



May 25th was a special day in the life of Salisbury Cathedral - the 1300th anniversary of the death of St. Aldhelm, who was the first bishop of the newly-created Diocese of Sherborne, the precursor of the Diocese of Salisbury.  The Sewanee choir had the unique opportunity to sing at the 5:30 eucharist in observance of this most special occasion.

Check out this thurible - more like an incense bucket!  It holds 7 coals...

And these beautiful vestments...
