EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene at the Altar for the Oxford Movement Catholic Centenary held at White City Stadium in Hammersmith, London on 9th July 1933. The Oxford Movement, also known as the Catholic Revival, was a mid-19th century religious and social reform movement within the Church of England that sought to re-establish the Church's traditions and practices in line with those of the early Christian Church and the Roman Catholic Church. The Centenary Mass, attended by over 50,000 people, was a significant event in the history of the Oxford Movement and the Catholic Church in England. The altar, adorned with tall candlesticks and numerous candles, is the focal point of the image, under a large canopy. The atmosphere is one of reverence and devotion, as the congregation gathers to celebrate their faith and pay tribute to the movement's rich history. The photograph, taken in the 1930s, is a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional Catholicism and the power of communal worship. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness a moment of religious history that continues to resonate with many today. The grandeur of the setting, the solemnity of the occasion, and the sheer number of people in attendance speak to the deep-rooted and enduring nature of the Catholic faith in England during this period.
