Rorate Caeli

Catafalque of the Queen of Heaven



Here are two of the pictures of the Catafalque of the Blessed Virgin Mary that the F.SS.R had set up during their Triduum in honor of the Assumption. This is also known as the "Tomb of the Virgin" in some of the few churches and chapels that continue the tradition. One custom associated with it is for children to go in procession to the empty tomb, where they leave their posies in honor of the Virgin.

For more photographs of this magnificent custom in honor of Our Lady, please go to the Papa Stronsay blog, and don't forget to leave a comment thanking the Fathers for their work for Tradition.
