These beautiful, bespoke rose vestments were worn

These beautiful, bespoke rose vestments were worn for the first time at yesterday’s Cathedral Eucharist.

Rose (pink) vestments are traditionally worn on the third Sunday of Advent (Gaudete Sunday) and the fourth Sunday of Lent (Laetare or Mothering Sunday), symbolising hope and expectation.

The vestments were created by members of the Minster’s Needlework Guild and designed by their Tutor, Emma Frith.

The designs bring together motifs associated with the Minster’s history and with the Blessed Virgin Mary, our Patron.

This week, we are releasing a series of short Chri

This week, we are releasing a series of short Christmas videos featuring a daily message from the Dean, while members of the Minster community read texts of their favourite Christmas poems and carols.

First up is Diana, Head of Education, reading ‘The Three Kings’ by Peter Cornelius.

If you miss one, don't worry, all videos will be posted to https://www.southwellminster.org/christmas-videos/
