Today's #Southwell140 exhibition object is this ve Today's #Southwell140 exhibition object is this very handsome Green Man🍀 he is one of the winning entries in the Green Man craft competition held in 2020. The green man reminds us that we cannot survive without the natural world which surrounds and sustains us. The carvings of the Green Man help us with some of our school visits to the Chapter House, where we see carved examples of God’s creation. The green man, or foliate head, is an architectural motif of a face of, or surrounded by, foliage, which spreads out from the middle of the face. We have a lot of stone carved green men in the Chapter House at the Minster – can you find them all?🔎 #cathedrals #Southwell #Cathedralgram #cathedralgram #churchphotography #church #cathedralsofinstagram #cathedralgardens #southwell #minster #history #SouthwellMinster #Cathedral #Minster #Southwell140 #southwellminster #creation #heavenandnaturesing #greenman

Our first #Southwell140 object this week is a boo Our first #Southwell140 object this week is a book from our Historic Library MATHESIS 📖💫🔭 By Julius Firmicus Maternus, a Roman Latin writer and astrologer. This book was found on Archbishop Gerard of York when he died in 1108 in the Minster Grounds. He was facinated by the stars and planets. The church refused to bury him at York Minster claiming the book was heretical. This is a copy of the first known non-religious book with connections to the Minster.

Today’s #Southwell140 exhibition object is our Today’s #Southwell140 exhibition object is our MILLENNIUM PILGRIM ✨ The sculpture carved by Rory Young, was commissioned by the Friends of Southwell Cathedral and installed in 2001. It depicts a man stepping into the new millennium and a new future. His shroud symbolises his past which he is leaving behind. The blue mark, an discolouration in the stone was intentionally kept by the sculpture to show that no-one of us is without imperfection.

Our #Southwell140 object this today is... MAUNDY Our #Southwell140 object this today is... MAUNDY MONEY 👑💰 For centuries kings and queens participated in Maundy ceremonies, commemorating the Last Supper, washing feet and giving gifts to the poor. By the 1700s, monarchs stopped washing feet and only gave money. On 19th April 1984, Queen Elizabeth II visited the Minster to distribute Maundy Monday. In the white purse there are special silver Maundy coins which are the same number of pence as the Queen’s age in 1984. In the red purse there is ordinary money. This is a symbol of a gift to the poor. Visit us and see these, and all 14 objects for yourself - everyone is welcome. Entry is free, but if you're enjoying our 140 exhibition please do donate what you can to keep this heritage preserved for another 140 years! www.southwellminster.org/theme/donate/ #cathedrals #Southwell #Cathedralgram #cathedralgram #churchphotography #church #cathedralsofinstagram #southwell #minster #history #SouthwellMinster #Cathedral #Minster #Southwell140 #southwellminster #MaundyMoney #tradition #Royaltraditions
