Visit of the Icon to St Andrews Cathedral in Glasgow. The Cathedral was full for Holy Mass with the Russian Choir Ruskalla Capella were absolutely wonderful.
Nine Priests officiated in Holy Mass including Polish Community Priests. Father Georgy, Russian Orthodox Priest was also in attendance.
Before Holy Mass there was Eucharistic Adoration, Benediction, and The Rosary of Unborn Children led by Stuart Young and assisted by the Legion of Mary.
There was a trumpet fanfare during the entrance of the Icon, followed by a short introductory welcome and Holy Mass. The main celebrant of the Mass was Fr. Marian Leikawa. This was a truly beautiful liturgy, arranged by Fr. Francis McGachey and Fr. Leikawa, with music from the St. Francis Xavier Parish Choir.
On arrival at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption in Edinburgh at 5.00pm on Monday 12th November, the Icon of the Black Madonna was welcomed and blessed by the Mgr. Michael Regan Cathedral administrator and priests representing the Polish and Scottish communities in Edinburgh. The large crowd gathering there to welcome Our Lady steadily growing in numbers as the time for mass approached were led in prayer and in particular in the Rosary of the Unborn a special rosary given by Our Lady for these times to combat the sin of abortion.
On Saturday 10th November after departing from the resounding welcome and joy-filled veneration of a packed cathedral in Birmingham, the Icon was solemnly greeted at the door of the parish of Our Lady Queen of Peace, St Anthony of Padua Church, Wythenshawe, Manchester.
Praised be Jesus Christ.
