The Holy Year which began in Rome on Christmas eve will leave its mark on St Andrew’s Cathedral … as the sanctuary area will play host to a newly commissioned cross for the next 12 months
The Jubilee Year will open in every Cathedral of the world on Sunday December 29. The Vatican has drawn up a liturgical celebration which will see a special ‘Jubilee Year Cross’ placed in each Cathedral.
In Glasgow a new cross has been created which will be placed above the Archbishop’s ‘cathedra’ or chair on the rear wall of the sanctuary behind the altar throughout the Holy Year.
It will be a Greek cross (each arm of equal length) made of wood with the traditional symbols of St Mungo (bird, fish, bell and tree) represented at the extremities of the cross while at the centre the symbol of the 2025 Jubilee will feature bearing the image of ‘Pilgrims of Hope’.
All welcome at the Cathedral on Sunday at 12 noon Mass with the Archbishop to mark the start of our Holy Year.
