St Cuthbert’s day in the Church of England calendar is generally kept on the traditional anniversary of his death, 20th of March, but a footnote allows Anglicans in England to join their Anglican siblings in the Church in Wales and also with the Roman Catholic Church in celebrating on the 4th September, the anniversary of his relics being translated to Durham Cathedral. This felt like a good enough excuse to celebrate his feast this week, and to reflect on my own recent visit to his shrine in Durham.

This HOMILΞTTΞ was recorded during Mass at All Saints’ Winterbourne Down.
