2005 Chaucer Party Pictures 
| The inspiration for the Chaucer celebration came from Chaucer’s final prayer-- “Now preye I to hem alle that herkne this litel tretys or rede . . . I biseke yow mekely, for the mercy of God, that ye preye for me . . . that I may been oon of hem at the day of doome that shulle be saved.” We begin with a Mass and follow with festivities. |
 Medieval chant for the Mass |
 Processional, interlude and recessional from the Middle Ages |
 As in Chaucer’s time--no tea, coffee or chocolate. But we have mushroom pasties from a medieval recipe, and dark bread and cheese. Our libations are apple cider and, of course, mead. |
