Lancaster Cathedral: English Martyrs
Today we begin an exhibition on the lives and times of the English Martyrs, entitled 'My Faith is my Crime'. Lots of hard work has been going on behind the scenes to get this exhibition prepared.  
The calendar includes details of the talks, films and liturgical services that will be taking place between
19th July and 7th August when we celebrate the Feast of the Lancaster Martyrs.  



Today's Friday Photos of Faith we feature the stained glass window of the English Martyrs which is above the entrance of the Baptistery. The Cathedral has a stained glass window of the English martyrs - from left to right, St John Fisher, St Thomas More, Blessed John Houghton, St Cuthbert Mayne.


Below a video made by a parishioner of the Lancaster martyrs which readers may wish to use to remember those who were willing to give up their lives for their faith.
