Pantasaph is one of the great acheivements of our Catholic forbears. It was a great privilege to have the Summer School and the LMS Latin Course there. The Pugin chapel is just one aspect of it: it gives a real sense of a Catholic institution, with stained glass windows in the corridors, holy statues and pictures of the saints at every turn - not all of them of St Francis, I would say about half!

It also has a very impressive Stations of the Cross, going up a hill, and a Rosary Walk, both of which we used in the course of the week. I've created a whole 'set' of photos of the individual Rosary mysteries.
Here is the conclusion of the Rosary Walk, an old quarry.

And its conclusion, the 14th Station, where Our Lord is laid in the tomb.

Here is an elaborate crib scene, in a little outhouse called 'the Stable'.

ReplyDeleteFantastic! What a wonderful place. The chapel looks really very beautiful. Interesting that there is a national shrine to Padre Pio there. Must visit. How traditional are the monks?
