St. Alban's Church, Southampton
St. Alban's Church, Swaythling, Southampton, stands on Tulip Road, just off the main Burgess Road. The church, and its associated hall, is a Grade II listed building. Creation of the parish The Parish of St. Alban was formed at the beginning of 1932, mainly out of the South Stoneham Parish, but at that time there was no St. Alban's church, only a site on which to build it. The land had been part of Swaythling Farm and had been acquired through the foresight of the then Archdeacon of Winchester (Ven. A. E. Daldy). Until the new church was ready worship in the new parish took place in St. Agnes Church, from 1905 to 1933, on Portswood Road and in the Burgess Road Mission which until then had been in Highfield Parish (latterly known as St. Alban's Mission). St. Alban's Church was completed in 1933.

The Liturgical Movement was a 19th-century and 20th-century movement of scholarship for the reform of worship. It began in the Catholic Church and spread to many other Christian churches including the Anglican Communion, Lutheran and some other Protestant churches. History Background to the Mass of the Roman Rite Developments in Belgium and Germany At almost the same time, in Germany Abbot Ildefons Herwegen of Maria Laach convened a liturgical conference in Holy Week 1914 for lay people. Herwegen thereafter promoted research which resulted in a series of publications for clergy and lay people during and after World War I. One of the foremost German scholars was Odo Casel. Having begun by studying the Middle Ages, Casel looked at the origins of Christian liturgy in pagan cultic acts, understanding liturgy as a profound universal human act as well as a religious one. In his ''Ecclesia Orans'' (''The Praying Church'') (1918), Casel studied and interpreted the pagan mysteries of ancien ...

Virgin Mary
Mary; arc, ܡܪܝܡ, translit=Mariam; ar, مريم, translit=Maryam; grc, Μαρία, translit=María; la, Maria; cop, Ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ, translit=Maria was a first-century Jewish woman of Nazareth, the wife of Joseph and the mother of Jesus. She is a central figure of Christianity, venerated under various titles such as virgin or queen, many of them mentioned in the Litany of Loreto. The Eastern and Oriental Orthodox, Church of the East, Catholic, Anglican, and Lutheran churches believe that Mary, as mother of Jesus, is the Mother of God. Other Protestant views on Mary vary, with some holding her to have considerably lesser status. The New Testament of the Bible provides the earliest documented references to Mary by name, mainly in the canonical Gospels. She is described as a young virgin who was chosen by God to conceive Jesus through the Holy Spirit. After giving birth to Jesus in Bethlehem, she raised him in the city of Nazareth in Galilee, and was in Jerusal ...

Wolvesey Palace
Wolvesey Palace is the residence of the Bishop of Winchester, located in Winchester, England. The bishops had previously lived in the adjacent Wolvesey Castle. Background The site of Wolvesey has been the home of the Bishop of Winchester since at least the late 10th century. A medieval palace, Wolvesey Castle, was constructed in the 12th century under William Giffard and Henry of Blois. The castle stopped being regularly used in the mid-16th century, since the bishops preferred their palaces in Farnham and Southwark, but was not destroyed. Only ruins survive of the 12th-century buildings, including the substructure of the current chapel, which was built in the 15th century as part of Wolvesey Castle. History After attempting to renovate the medieval buildings (by cleaning the moat, wainscotting the dining room, building a muniment house and refurbishing the chapel) George Morley, Bishop of Winchester, decided to replace the medieval palace with a new palace. Construction b ...
