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.

Celebrating St Lawrence


The mark the feast day of St Lawrence the New Liturgical Movement has a post about how his feast is celebrated by various Western liturgical traditions at The Feast of St Lawrence in Other Western Rites
 
The Liturgical Arts Journal also has a post for today about vestments for the feast and statues of St Lawrence at Vestments in Honour of St. Lawrence

To that I will add a link to a post of my own from 2013 which reproduced a statue of the saint by Tilman Riemanschneider dated to 1502-10 can be seen at St Lawrence
