Our sacristan had a whole pile of veils at home. 'We'll have to go through what you want veiled', she said. 'This is the first time we've done this in 15 years'.

Taking the Veil
This Sunday was Passion Sunday. I love the custom of veiling crosses and images in Passiontide as a sign of the increasing concentration on Christ's suffering and sacrifice and the removal of distractions. We re-introduced it at Lamford in my second year and this year veiling returned to Swanvale Halt. 
Our sacristan had a whole pile of veils at home. 'We'll have to go through what you want veiled', she said. 'This is the first time we've done this in 15 years'.
