We held our own service on Easter Sunday as the times for Mass were unsuitable. We held our service in the Basilica in Albert. The Prayers of the Faithful demonstrated to us the excellence, thoughtfulness and compassion that this group has displayed since we left the College 18 days ago.
The Golden Virgin on top of the Basilica was the subject of much legend and myth during WW1. The British believed that when the Virgin fell the war would end. The Golden Virgin can be seen glinting many miles from Albert.
