Merry Christmas! (image Horae, French. Fitzwilliam 59 Folio 48r)
Painting in a medieval manuscript. Mary sits up in bed reading. She is under a bright red blanket. Joseph sits on the ground holding a swaddled baby Jesus. Joseph is looking lovingly at the child. Behind a wattle fence a donkey looks down at Jesus although it also looks as though it is nibbling Joseph’s halo. A cow With a bell around its neck looks at Mary.

The Chair of the Richard III Society, Amanda Geary laid this beautiful wreath at the tomb of Richard III at Leicester Cathedral yesterday. Then she and Sally Henshaw from the Leicestershire branch, as well as a tourist from New Zealand, laid single roses.
Amanda Geary brings in the wreath. Sally Henshaw adds her white rose to the other 3 on top of the tomb. Photograph of the wreath at the end of the tomb. 4 single roses are placed on the tomb itself. Richard III's dates are carved at the bottom 1452 - 1485.

The church of St. James, Sutton Cheney saw a special service yesterday marking the new sculpture in the churchyard. Richard's prayer was read by the Leicestershire Branch Chair, Richard Smith. This is part of the new sculpture trail in the area. www.richardiiicountry.com/richard-iii/... #RichardIII
Photo inside the church at Sutton Cheney. White roses adorn the simple font. The font cover has the same sculpture as the larger version outside in the other photos. A side view of the sculpture taken as the sun sets. A kneeling figure with his head down appears to be looking at the candles and the white roses on the ground before him. A view from the front of the kneeling figure in the setting sun. From this angle, it is possible to see that he is on one knee, holding a simple crown in his hand as he prays. Black cloth in a heap behind indicates that the statue has just been revealed.
