[St John's College @StJohnsOx]

Did you know: St John’s has a remarkable collection of late medieval liturgical vestments and embroidery, including a rare set of vestments for the pre-Reformation High Mass.

They are some of the finest examples in England, but these treasures were almost lost forever...

Today is All Souls' Day. This day developed in the Middle Ages as a time for comfort and connection between the living and the dead: a day to ensure no one was left alone in death, and to reassure the living of their place within a vast community of souls. https://t.co/ZFx5Vtm3FN
