64lbs of costly candle wax was allocated to the #ClareCastle chapel for the feast of #Candlemas, a favourite of the #LadyOfClare, when light blazed in midwinter & candles were brought to be blessed.
She would have been familiar with this #CanterburyCathedral window depicting the Presentation of Christ in the Temple - very tall candles here!

After #ThomasBecket was assassinated in #CanterburyCathedral on 29 Dec 1170, reports of miraculous healing started to circulate within a week, and pilgrim numbers soared. The vibrant colours of the #StainedGlass windows around his shrine may have seemed almost as wondrous to #medieval visitors as the #miracles they depict.

Thomas Becket, a martyr in the Anglican and Catholic churches, was assassinated by a group of knights loyal to King Henry II of England inside Canterbury Cathedral on 29 December 1170. Becket has since been venerated as a saint in both churches.
