Alitany of St Edward Westminster Abbey National Pilgrimage to the Shrine of St Edward the Confessor 19th October 2013 ST EDWARD THE CONFESSOR Today we celebrate the life of St Edward the Confessor, King of England, 1042–66, and re-founder of Westminster Abbey. A confessor is a saint who shows particular courage in publicly bearing witness to their faith in Christ, without being a martyr who gives their life for Christ. Not long after his death St Edward was already seen to have been a man of particular holiness, a kind of crowned monk. He was declared a saint in 1161, and was especially venerated by many subsequent kings. He rebuilt and greatly enriched Westminster Abbey, turning it into a national institution, and was buried here. On 13th October 1163, two years after his canonisation, his body was moved, or ‘translated’, to a shrine in the church which he had built. On the same date in 1269 his body was translated again to the shrine in the newly-built gothic Abbey. His relics, which attracted many pilgrims, are still housed in this shrine. It was veneration of St Edward that led to Westminster becoming the coronation church and the burial place of so many other kings and queens. It is with justice that the Abbey considers him to be its founder. THE DEDICATION OF WESTMINSTER ABBEY St Edward the Confessor, King of England from 1042 to 1066, re-endowed the Benedictine monastery of Westminster and built a large Romanesque church for the monastic community. That building was dedicated on 28th December 1065. St Edward died shortly after the dedication. He was canonised in 1161 and on 13th October 1163 his body was moved, or ‘translated’, to a new tomb in the church which he had built. St Edward’s Romanesque church survived until the 13th century, when it was replaced by a new church in the Gothic style built by Henry III: the building in which we now worship. A new shrine was constructed for the body of St Edward, and the translation of his relics to this shrine was an integral part of the liturgy of the dedication of this new church on 13th October 1269. The October date was chosen for the dedication because it was already established as the Feast of the Translation of St Edward. St Edward’s relics remain in that same shrine, which is behind the High Altar. At the Abbey we keep the Feast of the Translation of St Edward on 13th October, a celebration which focuses on the life of the Saint. We keep the Feast of the Dedication of Westminster Abbey, focusing on the building as a sacred space, on the following Sunday. The cover illustration of St Edward the Confessor is taken from The Litlyngton Missal, commissioned by Nicholas Litlyngton, Abbot of Westminster, in 1383. 2 FESTIVAL EUCHARIST 11.30 am The service is sung by the Westminster Abbey Special Service Choir, conducted by James O’Donnell, Organist and Master of the Choristers. The organ is played by Daniel Cook, Sub-Organist. Setting: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–91) Missa brevis in C K220 ‘Spatzenmesse’ The Gathering All stand to sing THE HYMN: Who are these, like stars appearing, These are they who have contended these before God’s throne who stand? for their Saviour’s honour long, each a golden crown is wearing; wrestling on till life has ended, who are all this glorious band? following not the sinful throng; Alleluia, hark! they sing, these, who well the fight sustained, praising loud their heavenly King. triumph through the Lamb have gained. Who are these of dazzling brightness, These are they whose hearts were riven, these in God’s own truth arrayed, sore with woe and anguish tried, clad in robes of purest whiteness, who in prayer full oft have striven robes whose lustre ne’er shall fade, with the God they glorified; ne’er be touched by time’s rude hand— now, their painful conflict o’er, whence comes all this glorious band? God has bid them weep no more. These like priests have watched and waited, offering up to Christ their will, soul and body consecrated, day and night to serve him still: now, in God’s most holy place blest they stand before his face. All Saints 231 NEH German, Heinrich Theobald Schenck (1656–1727) from Geistreiches Gesangbuch Darmstadt, 1698 translated by Frances Cox (1812–97) adapted by William Henry Monk (1823–89) 3 The President says: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. The President greets the congregation to which all respond: and also with you. All remain standing. The President introduces THE PRAYERS OF PENITENCE, after which all say: Almighty God, our heavenly Father, we have sinned against you and against our neighbour in thought and word and deed, through negligence, through weakness, through our own deliberate fault. We are truly sorry and repent of all our sins. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, who died for us, forgive us all that is past and grant that we may serve you in newness of life to the glory of your name. Amen. The President says THE ABSOLUTION. All respond: Amen. All sit after the opening phrase GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO sung by the Choir: Gloria in excelsis Deo, et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis. Laudamus te, benedicimus te, adoramus te, glorificamus te, gratias agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam, Domine Deus, Rex caelestis, Deus Pater omnipotens. Domine Fili unigenite, Jesu Christe; Domine Deus, Agnus Dei, Filius Patris, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis; qui tollis peccata mundi, suscipe deprecationem nostram; qui sedes ad dexteram Patris, miserere nobis. Quoniam tu solus Sanctus, tu solus Dominus, tu solus Altissimus, Jesu Christe, cum Sancto Spiritu, in gloria Dei Patris. Amen. Glory to God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth. Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, we worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your glory. Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, Lord God, Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us; you are seated at the right hand of the Father: receive our prayer. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen. All stand for THE COLLECT. The President sings: Let us pray. A short period of silence is kept. Sovereign God, who set your servant Edward upon the throne of an earthly kingdom and inspired him with zeal for the kingdom of heaven: grant that we may so confess the faith of Christ by word and deed, that we may, with all your saints, inherit your eternal glory; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. 4 The Liturgy of the Word All sit for THE OLD TESTAMENT READING: The Lord said to Samuel, ‘How long will you grieve over Saul? I have rejected him from being king over Israel. Fill your horn with oil and set out; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided for myself a king among his sons.’ Samuel said, ‘How can I go? If Saul hears of it, he will kill me.’ And the Lord said, ‘Take a heifer with you, and say, “I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.” Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do; and you shall anoint for me the one whom I name to you.’ Samuel did what the Lord commanded, and came to Bethlehem. The elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and said, ‘Do you come peaceably?’ He said, ‘Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord; sanctify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.’ And he sanctified Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice. When they came, he looked on Eliab and thought, ‘Surely the Lord’s anointed is now before the Lord.’ But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for the Lord does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.’ Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. He said, ‘Neither has the Lord chosen this one.’ Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, ‘Neither has the Lord chosen this one.’ Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel, and Samuel said to Jesse, ‘The Lord has not chosen any of these.’ Samuel said to Jesse, ‘Are all your sons here?’ And he said, ‘There remains yet the youngest, but he is keeping the sheep.’ And Samuel said to Jesse, ‘Send and bring him; for we will not sit down until he comes here.’ He sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and had beautiful eyes, and was handsome. The Lord said, ‘Rise and anoint him; for this is the one.’ Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the presence of his brothers; and the spirit of the Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward. 1 Samuel 16: 1–13a This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. The Choir sings THE PSALM: Antiphon: I have found David my servant: with my holy oil have I anointed him.

  • St. Edward the Confessor Feast: October 13
    St. Edward the Confessor Feast: October 13 Facts Feast Day: October 13 Edward the Confessor was the son of King Ethelred III and his Norman wife, Emma, daughter of Duke Richard I of Normandy. He was born at Islip, England, and sent to Normandy with his mother in the year 1013 when the Danes under Sweyn and his son Canute invaded England. Canute remained in England and the year after Ethelred's death in 1016, married Emma, who had returned to England, and became King of England. Edward remained in Normandy, was brought up a Norman, and in 1042, on the death of his half-brother, Hardicanute, son of Canute and Emma, and largely through the support of the powerful Earl Godwin, he was acclaimed king of England. In 1044, he married Godwin's daughter Edith. His reign was a peaceful one characterized by his good rule and remission of odious taxes, but also by the struggle, partly caused by his natural inclination to favor the Normans, between Godwin and his Saxon supporters and the Norman barons, including Robert of Jumieges, whom Edward had brought with him when he returned to England and whom he named Archbishop of Canterbury in 1051. In the same year, Edward banished Godwin, who took refuge in Flanders but returned the following year with a fleet ready to lead a rebellion. Armed revolt was avoided when the two men met and settled their differences; among them was the Archbishop of Canterbury, which was resolved when Edward replaced Robert with Stigand, and Robert returned to Normandy.

In it, I study the hagiographies written about the royal female saints of Ely by the Flemish monk Goscelin of Saint-Bertin in the late eleventh century as a form of postcolonial literature and memory creation. Goscelin was a renowned writer of Anglo-Saxon saints’ lives. Through his hagiographies he not only created images of England’s Christian past that emphasized its pious, sophisticated rulers and close ties to the papacy, he engaged in political commentary and criticism.

Sunday 24th June 2018 THE BIRTH OF SAINT JOHN THE BAPTIST 10.00 a.m. PARISH MASS with Kidz Zone with the Ministry of Prayer for Healing & Wholeness Luke begins his Gospel by describing an aged, devout, childless couple, the priest Zechariah and his wife Elizabeth. As Zechariah is serving in the Temple, he sees the angel Gabriel, who tells him that he and his wife will have a son who will be a great prophet, and will go before the Lord "like Elijah." (The Jewish tradition had been that Elijah would herald the coming of the Messiah = Christ = Anointed = Chosen of God.) Zechariah went home, and his wife conceived. About six months later, Gabriel appeared to the Virgin Mary, a kinswoman of Elizabeth, and told her that she was about to bear a son who would be called Son of the Most High, a king whose kingdom would never end. Thus, Elizabeth gave birth to John, and Mary gave birth six months later to Jesus. Welcome to everyone gathered here at St. Edward’s this morning Today, we welcome James Taylor, a student at St.

  • THE STORY of an ENGLISH SAINT's CULT: an ANALYSIS of the INFLUENCE of ST ÆTHELTHRYTH of ELY, C.670
    THE STORY OF AN ENGLISH SAINT’S CULT: AN ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF ST ÆTHELTHRYTH OF ELY, c.670 – c.1540 by IAN DAVID STYLER A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham August 2019 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis charts the history of the cult of St Æthelthryth of Ely, arguing that its longevity and geographical extent were determined by the malleability of her character, as narrated within the hagiographical texts of her life, and the continued promotion of her shrine by parties interested in utilising her saintly power to achieve their goals. Arranged chronologically and divided into five distinct periods, the thesis demonstrates that this symbiotic relationship was key in maintaining and elongating the life of the cult. Employing digital humanities tools to analyse textual, archaeological, material, cartographic, and documentary sources covering the cult’s eight-hundred-year history, the study charts its development firstly within East Anglia, and subsequently across the whole country, and internationally.

  • Who Wrote the Nun's Life of Edward? 1
    77 Who Wrote the Nun's Life of Edward? 1 Jane Bliss University ofOxford This article examines the identity of the Nun of Barking, aut~or of an Anglo­ Norman Life of Edward the Confessor; and addresses three questions. The flrst is about the Nun's audience; the poem's destination is a vital element in discussion of the author's identity, and of the quality of her authorship. Next, I examine the available evidence for sources other than Aelred's Vita; the Nun's work has sometimes been regarded as a mere copy: 'a translation from start to flnish'. 3 My title focuses on 'writing' in the sense of 'authorship', because the Nun adapts her material so extensively that she can claim to be the author, not merely the translator, of her Edward. Lastly, to establish whether the Nun was identical with Clemence of Barking, author of the Life of Saint Catherine (of Alexandria),' I analyse both poems. My study draws upon a body of recent scholarship on women's writing, and on AnglO-Norman language and literatureS The Nun's poem is a key text for a recent study of early mysticism;' this aspect of her work has therefore been discussed elsewhere, as has her pioneering use of the term 'fln' amor', and the enhanced role of Edith, Edward's queen.' Earlier scholars' neglect of the poem may be because some perceived it as a slavish translation, or because it suffered in comparison with the freer (later) version by Matthew Paris' Laurent thinks Matthew wanted to suppress it,' but there is no evidence that Matthew did any such thing: the Nun's work survives in three manuscripts, and a fragment.
