This is the shrine of St Margaret Clitherow, in York. Earlier this year when on holiday in York I visited the shrine several times. It is a wonderfully peaceful oasis in a seething ocean of tourists and shoppers.
The best bit was being able to go to Mass on the saturday morning, I thought that there might be half a dozen people there, but the place was packed solid. It was really great to see it so full and the simple Mass was very moving.
I'm sure St Margaret is delighted to see so many people at Mass in the same street where she kept the faith alive all those years ago.
