Cardinal Vincent Nichols yesterday led a procession of the Blessed Sacrament through Covent Garden - a visitor hot-spot in the heart of London.

Covent Garden attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists each year with its shops, restaurants, street artists and theatres. On the Feast of Corpus Christi, Sunday 3 June, it was Christ - present in the Blessed Sacrament - held high and carried through the streets of the capital.

 
I thought I had seen some altar servers with hair… I hadn’t seen nothin’ yet! 😃

But, on a serious note, Eucharistic Processions are a beautiful custom that need to return to their former place in the Church

That doesn’t correspond with my experience .

Going back to the 50s (before V2) and up to the present time , I have only been in three places for a Eucharistic procession , and all three were outside , namely the grounds of two convents and in Lourdes .
 
Ah.

Well, according to multiple priests in my diocese, they used to be far more common for us- but they’re slowly coming back in
 
That’s wonderful ! 😃 my internet is slow to load the video but thank you so much for sharing this ,which I will be eager to share with my parents Rob 🙂

That’s London for ya 🙂
I did get a newsletter from a shrine introducing their new priest recently. Priest had long, flowing, white hippie locks down to his shoulders, which was a little different from what I usually see on Latin Rite Catholic priests (the Eastern Catholic and Eastern Orthodox ones sometime have longer hair).

London needs more of this sort of thing, IMHO. As much as it can get. And from the one true Catholic Church, not Anglicans.
