2006 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. | ||||
| Here are the pictures (and short movies)
from the 2006 Celebration. Click here to see 2005's pictures. Note: to view the movies, click on the image and a new window will open to display the quarter frame image. Please note: we are using www.youtube.com to display the mini-movies of this celebration. To view these you need to have macromedia flash player installed and Javascript enabled. If not, please click on the word 'Movie' and a Quicktime version will appear in a separate browser window. Caution: the quicktime version of these movies takes a very long time to download. It may take a couple of minutes before even the download progress bar appears, particularly if you are either using a dial-up modem or AOL. |

 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. |
