I agree with everything you say about keeping the word Easter against secularism by it must be remembered that the English EASTER even though used in the Church 's English language liturgy in an anomaly. Perhaps another reason why Latin is preferred language. Every other language uses some form of PASSOVER to designate Easter. English alone uses a pre-Christian term. Evangelicals will often insist that the celebration of Easter is unchristian-they don't know or want to know that the word itself may be the name of a Saxon goddess, but every other language uses the scriptural term , Pascua etc I think even Welsh is something like PASQ, ( I wouldn't remember where I've read that just now).<br />I've just seen in a book that there's a statute/shrine of Philip Howard in Arundel cathedral. arundelcathedral.org.welcome htm<br />A contemporary painting was owned by someone named Geoffrey Haughton-Brown a number of years ago also.<br />Have you ever had Cardinal Newman 's Way of the Cross?
