Once I was a clever boy learning the arts of Oxford... is a quotation from the verses written by Bishop Richard Fleming (c.1385-1431) for his tomb in Lincoln Cathedral. Fleming, the founder of Lincoln College in Oxford, is the subject of my research for a D. Phil., and, like me, a son of the West Riding. I have remarked in the past that I have a deeply meaningful on-going relationship with a dead fifteenth century bishop... it was Fleming who, in effect, enabled me to come to Oxford and to learn its arts, and for that I am immensely grateful.

The Liturgical Colours of the Triduum


Shawn Tribe has posted a second article about the changes made between 1955 and 1970 to the form and colour of the vestments worn for Holy Week and the Triduum on the Liturgical Arts Journal. Like his previous piece which I linked to in The Liturgical Colours of Palm Sunday it is a well illustrated exposition of the process and a useful reference point.
