Sad to see that the sanctuary balustrade candles were not in place and lit for candlemas. I am sure that there is a sound liturgical reason for this, but if there is one day in the Christian calendar that warrants their prescence it is surely Feb 2?
Westminster Cathedral is the mother church of the Roman Catholic community in England and Wales. This extraordinary house of God was opened in 1903, and its distinctive Byzantine architecture provides the visitor with what Sir John Betjeman called "a series of surprises".

Good point - however, the balustrade candles are only deployed at present for Solemnities. But we couod review that.
