Westminster Abbey. We went in to tour on a Sunday morning and the usher told us the tombs were closed, but we were welcome to sit for the service. They sat us in the knights 900 year old carved wood choir stalls. Then the Westminster Boys Choir came in and sat in the stalls on the other side of the aisle. The music was so moving both my husband and I had tears in our eyes. I’ll never forget it. Incredible.

We would have a wonderful time of reflection and worship when we would attend vespers at the Abbey of St Hildegard near Rudesheim, Germany. The sisters would enter unseen and one would hear their clogs as they took their places. The sanctuary would be filled with their chant. Beautiful, magical, on a hillside overlooking acres of grapes alongside the Rhine.
