House Saints
On the Saint's Day of our house Saints, the children in KS2 lead on a liturgy. This is an important part of our traditions at St Cuthbert. A few years ago, we changed our houses to reflect a mix of males and females, so it has been important to ensure the children are well versed in knowing why these new Saints were chosen and what they represent.
St Cecilia - Patron Saint of Music
Feast Day: 22nd November
St Cecilia became the patroness of music and musicians, it being written that, as the musicians played at her wedding, Cecilia "sang in her heart to the Lord". Musical compositions are dedicated to her, and her feast, on 22 November, is the occasion of concerts and musical festivals.
Iconography
Cecilia is frequently depicted playing the viola, a portative organ, or other musical instruments, evidently to express what was often attributed to her, namely that while the musicians played at her nuptials, she sang in her heart to God.
