I felt like including a suitable piece of music, and thought of the hymn 'Personent Hodie' - while looking for a suitable video, I came across this version, which makes a change from a traditional 'organ/choir' arrangement, and I think works rather well, given that the hymn dates from the 14th. Centtury or perhaps a bit earlier (even if one or two slighlty 'suspect' pre-Christian images seem to have crept into the video - as they sometimes do in mediaeval churches, for that matter).
He that dwelleth in the aid of the Most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob. He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector and my refuge: my God, in Him will I trust (Ps 90)

Excellent Post.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Matthaeus.
The Picture is beautiful and the Video a "must watch".
Is that Rievaulx Abbey on the Video (after nine seconds) ?
