Bath Abbey



I was fortunate to stay at the Three Abbey Green while in Bath, just a quick walk around the corner to the Abbey. I saved the Abbey toward the end of my time in Bath as a place to find peace before continuing my journey. I took time to admire the outside structure and take in its magnitude before venturing in the large wooden doors.  I was impressed by the magnitude of this place as well as the incredible workmanship. I am always amazed when I see plaques and graves in a church, knowing that only the wealthiest in the community are represented. 


I sat there for a time admiring the large organ, imaging what it was like to be played centuries ago. I immersed myself in the moments that I was amidst this beauty.



In addition to stepping back in time in this grand place, I had the fortunate experience of visiting the Abbey while one of the spiritual leaders performed a mock baptism for a couple of disabled children. I watched the heart-felt ceremony seeing grace in action when I walked over to the baptismal fount. There I stood next to the abbot watching an attendant dressed in full religious regalia preforming a baptism for the baby of a disabled child. It was for her doll. She poured the holy water over the dolls head three times and lit a candle explaining that she would get to keep it and it would be lit every year on the anniversary of this baptism. Afterward I spent time with the abbot as he provided a heartfelt explanation of some of what they do for the community’s disabled children.  It brought a tear to my eyes as I saw this love shared in this touching experience.




I feel that I am guided to places and people as I seek to stay in that Being Love state. And it’s delicious.
