In celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, we too paid homage to Him by visiting Him at the crib of various churches in central London. Fortunately for us, and keeping inline with our Catholic calendar, some churches traditionally keep their crib on display up until the 2 nd February for the feast of the Presentation also known as Candlemass Day. Year Three pupils, parents and staff walked from Farringdon to Westminster, accumulating 15000 steps to admire and pray at the beautiful Nativity scenes of St Peter's, St Patrick' s and Westminster Cathedral's Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
