Procession of the Blessed Sacrament

Westminster Cathedral to Southwark, London. Sat 18 Oct 2014

 

 
 I didn't appreciate the spikes outside Westminster Cathedral which stopped me sitting here. It seemed an unkind gesture - like other 'homeless' spikes
      
 Eventually the procession emerged from the service inside the cathedral (no cameras allowed)

 led by a group mainly in white tops, some carrying lighted altar candles and a man with a crucifix on a stick

 

 

 One candle soon blew out in the wind and the other soon followed

  Some way back in the procession were more people wearing clerical dress
 
and one in more ornate robes carrying the Blessed Sacrament, holding it in his cape and with an offi-white umbrella held over him 

Two African women in'Sacred Heart of Jesus' dresses carried a banner with an unlikely looing Jesus 
    
There was a man with a banner 'Jesus I trust in You, and a woman carrying a globe with a crowned Jesus and the same message on it 

She had more text on her back with a mesage from Jesus on 24/ 4/01 at 8.30AM   

The procession stretched out along the back streets of Westminster 

Crossing Rochester Row
