The Saint Edward Brotherhood Monks returned to Chertsey for their annual blessing of the waters, and luckily the water had subsided otherwise I would have been stood in the river! There was a good turn out again as the sun shone to keep us all warm after the sub zero temperatures of late.
You can read more about why the monks come to Chertsey on the Epiphany, and about the two Saints that Chertsey has, in this blog post from a previous visit.
Last year they moved to doing the blessing on the bridge above the River Abbey so this years photos are a little different. Click on any image to see them large.
Apologies for the faux pas on the copyright date – the software messed it up obviously (not the idiot using the software), and it should be 2024 as they were taken today.
