I've read a lot about magnificence and how it was expected of the nobility. Fine houses, dress, food, etc. not only distinguished their role in society, it provided employment for others. Their charity was expected to be just as extravagant.
Tired. Will post something tomorrow. In the meantime, kitties 🐈⬛ By Kiyoshi Saito

#MedievalStuffs #LentenCloths During Lent, images were cleaned and then covered these lenten cloths “as a token of mourning, not only for Adam’s sin, but also for our own sin. These hid the images (though often wrapped tightly so the shape could still be made out).

In high/late medieval Europe the tabernacle was closely aligned with altars, images, & dignitaries (king, bishop). In England “A tabernacle that dyd hange over the altar” at St. Botolph, Billingsgate & “the tabernacle of the sacrament” at St. Vedast, both connected to a pyx.
