Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! Whether you are feeling loved, or not, you are - always - the beloved recipient of the unconditional love of God. So, today: ‘Above all, clothe yourselves with love’ (Colossians) #valentines #valentinesday #chichestercathedral #love #valentinesday2019 #god #chichester

As Valentine’s Day approaches we are marvelling at 16th century Mr & Mrs Bradbridge. This brass in our Cathedral suggests they knew a thing or two about love. Pictured here with their 14 children… ❤️#valentines #valentinesday #chichestercathedral #love #valentinesday2019

It’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow so, as promised, we’ve another message of love. It really is true: ‘love is all around’. Even in the stoniest of ground… #valentines #heart #valentinesday #chichestercathedral #love #valentinesday2019 #chichester #cathedral

Well Valentine’s Day is coming & we are determined to spread the love so look out for our loving messages this week! ❤️ Maybe you have a Valentine this year, maybe you don’t. Either way, the message of our sacred buildings & the stories they tell us is clear: You are loved. And this ‘steadfast love endures forever’. (Psalm 136) #chichester #chichestercathedral #valentines #valentinesday #valentinesday2019 #love #loved
