'Sing to him a new song.' Rid yourself of what is old and worn out, for you know a new song. A new human being, a new covenant; a new song. … Let us sing a new song not with our lips but with our lives. ~ St. Augustine (Office of Readings) #StCecilia #StCeciliasDay

Today is #StCeciliasDay, so here is an illuminated letter U with #StCecilia playing the #organ and being crowned by an angel.

For music lovers, today is #StCeciliasDay in the Christian calendar.

St. Cecilia is patroness of #music 🎶 and musicians.

My beautiful Mum (who died at the tragically early age of 41) is also called Cecilia, and absolutely loved music of all kinds.

Love you, Mum💕
