When I truly *heard* this sequence for the first time, the image I saw in my mind's eye was stopping Mary as she ran along the way, seeing her turn to me with bright, wide eyes filled with tears, and hearing her say, "Christ my hope is risen!" Ahhh..! It resonates so powerfully in my heart.
And I love the manuscript image with the Lamb and His victorious GREEN standard. The four rings might be the four Gospels and then there are the three Sevens: Seven Eyes, Seven Horns, Seven segmented tails of the banner (Seals?)
I never saw so cute a clutching of a mast (with His front right hoof). Maybe because I never cared to look that closely before.
Thanks Amelia. It is uplifting to hear heartfelt, beautifully chanted music in this strange and trying interregnum time.
I value your commitment to a tradition that I grew up with, but lost sight of as a result of my experiences in the 1960s. Most of my Catholic friends did too. Even members of my family, and later my extended family members, all of whom had attended Mass with their parents and never heard Latin chanted or prayed in church. Fortunately my parents sent me to a high school which included the option of Latin studies, so I am comfortable with the lyrics and very much inspired by the recordings. Thank you for the great effort you put into this site. Perhaps the tradition will continue and grow side by side with past and future waves of change. You and others are helping us to achieve that kind of “unified diversity,” which cannot be other than good. Prayers for your continued work.
Thank you Albert. I didn’t grow up with it, but studying Latin in college has helped me a lot too. It is such a great language to learn for so many reasons, and it seems like it is becoming a staple again in the classical schools and certain homeschooling circles.
I think that many people, especially in younger generations, are hungry to rediscover the traditions that were discarded in the 60s. Thank you for the prayers.

Thank you Mike for pointing all of that out! It is funny they were able to make a seven eyed lamb look cute.
It is a strange thing to have the interregnum be during the Easter octave.

Beautiful. Many thanks. In the uppermost image I love the friar poking his head through the border to have a look :)
Thanks for pointing that out! I didn’t even notice!

I do love this sequence ~ full of power and wonder. Thanks for sharing!
It is one of my favorites!
...and I just noticed the Kilroyesk figure behind the sepulchre in the last icon. Such an endearing touch.
