I visited Moseley Old Hall near Wolverhampton yesterday. It was wonderful to discover a seventeenth century altar frontal made by Carmelite nuns in Sicily containing scenes from the life of St Teresa. I was particularly struck by one panel depicting Ss Francis and Clare appearing to Teresa, a legend I have not come across before, but something that weaves together important strands of my own spirituality and journey.
It wasn’t possible or appropriate to take photographs of it, but there is one of the whole frontal here and one of the panel here
