chant

[David Foote]

The services at the refuge in Leon were incredibly moving.  At vespers
the Mother Superior gave a homily about pilgrimage that had me in tears.
 The next morning at mass we sat with the nuns in the centuries old,
carved choir stalls. Many of the pilgrims had already left before the 8
am service. If possible, I would urge you to spend some time in Leon, if
only to commune with the beautiful stained glass in the cathedral.  I am
told that it is the best preserved and most stunning Medieval glass in
Spain.  It certainly is magnificent.

While the services at Rabanal were, for me, the most moving, I also
attended
masses, verspers and other services that involved Gregorian chant at
Samos,
Leon and Sahagun.  The nuns at the refuge in Leon invite pilgrims and
the
public to sit with them on the altar and participate in services.  In
Sahagun I attend morning services and mass at a small church that was
connected to a convent.
