The Story of King David

For the past days in our liturgy we have been following the story of King David. The rise of David came from the fall from grace of Saul, who chose to look great and popular in the eyes of the people instead of fulfilling the word of the Lord and for that God rejected him as King. In choosing David, God is looking for someone who can govern his people, but who will also let himself be governed by God rather than his own passions or desires for greatness. That is why in choosing David God was not looking for human beauty or strength, as Samuel realised when he thought that Eliab, one of David’s brother, would be chosen as king due to his great physical gifts. “The Lord said to Samuel: Look not on his countenance, nor the height of his stature because I have rejected him, nor do I judge according to the look of man: for man looks at outward appearances, but the Lord beholds the heart”. David has something which is deeper and that pleases God, a heart that knows how to listen to God’s will and who rejoices in doing it.

Roundel - Our Lady of Walsingham // view product >

We continue to expand the range of product in our gift shop which relates to or echoes the art and architecture of the Cathedral. Recent such editions are glass roundels which replicate in glass images, typically mosaics which can be seen in the Cathedral. The image of Our Lady of Walsingham which adorns the side of the pulpit in the Cathedral is a good example of this.
