York

Monday May 25th
Just need to get to York Minster at 5:15 p.m for their evensong.
What I did:
Took a walk along the river at around 3 to get into town. Took around 2 hours and made it in time for the evensong service. Took the opportunity to light 3 candles for everyone I was praying for and also admired the architecture. The choir that sang was only visiting as the minster choir had the day off. Overall experience was great. I was still debating on whether the church would charge for visiting but I think this is a bit of the best of both world, people can still worship for free but the church upkeep can be sustained by visitor's money. The evensong was full at this church and the minister sang the prayer beautifully and psalm 119 was sang by the choir and old testament was read from numbers and the new testament from John as the two lessons.
