One of the many lovely Feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary is under the title Nostra Mater De Perpetuo Succursu. In the English-speaking world, succursu had always been translated as "succour". More recently translated as "perpetual help", this does not fully convey the meaning of the Latin word subcurro : to run to the assistance of. Perhaps "of perpetual assistance" would be better than "help" but both lack the vigour of the Latin.
Our Mother who unceasingly hastens to our assistance. What a comforting thought. Her very name inspires confidence.
Pictured in this post is one of the Studio's range of vestments in honour of the Blessed Virgin. It is called Salve Regina.

In this sacred Octave of Pentecost, we are pleased to present this image of a set of Gothic Revival vestments.
The vestments are ornamented with the familiar "Gothic" form of orphrey which is formed from an embroidered braid in two shades of blue, interwoven with gold thread. Running along either side of this braid is a narrow galloon in a very muted shaded of yellow.

The custom mitres produced by the Saint Bede Studio are almost entirely hand-made. Great care is taken with the design of the mitre to provide a comfortable fit and good proportions. They are always provided with a sturdy cloth bag to keep them clean and secure.
Are you interested in presenting a mitre to your bishop? If so, please contact us to discuss possibilities.
