An historic moment yesterday as pieces of the shrine of St William of York, removed in the Reformation, returned to the nave of York Minster after a 500-year absence.

See them in the Minster’s undercroft museum from this weekend, with free admission for York residents (bring proof of address).

York Minster, seen along a dark Chapter House Street. Honestly, the jump from December to January was feeling like quite a jolt, until I was reminded that it means Yorkshire forced rhubarb season approaches! And besides, it’s Christmas until Candlemas, right?

For the Feast of St. Celicia, 22nd November.

A representation of the patron saint of music plays the mediaeval portative organ: one hand operating a keyboard; the other, the bellows.

"September days have the warmth of summer in their briefer hours, but in their lengthening evenings a prophetic breath of autumn." - Rowland E. Robinson

We found the above quote on a list of 'September quotes'; it seemed the best fit for this gorgeous image from Jez of York.

It's been astronomical autumn for over an hour now, guess I should accept it : /

Here's Autumn from the Four Seasons mosaic, dating from c. AD 250 and found in Toft Green, York, in 1853.

Salvator mundi, salva nos, qui per crucem et sanguinem redemisti nos:
auxiliare nobis, te deprecamur, Deus noster.

O Saviour of the world, save us, who by the Cross and the Blood have redeemed
us: help us, we beseech you, our God.

September. Late summer or autumn?

This image from Jez of York compresses centuries of rooftops into a beautiful golden vista so redolent of historic York.

We love the way in which the lancet windows of the North Transept, the iconic Five Sisters, stand out so beautifully.

A (rather damp) fox for Friday. Despite my best efforts, I’m afraid it spotted me, but wasn’t disturbed ☺️

An evening walk on York’s medieval city walls.

The earthworks on which it is built are older, and this stretch probably follows the western perimeter of the Roman colonia - the civilian area of the city south of the River Ouse, with the military fortress on the other side.
