Asparagus blessing at Cathedral causes row


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

Worcester Cathedral has hit back at criticism over a service that included a man dressed up as a spear of asparagus.

A packed congregation on St George's Day saw asparagus from Evesham receive a blessing to mark the start of the British Asparagus Festival.

Gus the Asparagus Man was part of the procession- dressed in a giant green asparagus costume.

However, some Anglicans described the service as a "pantomime".

I'm all good with asparagus being blessed. I can understand why some folks might not be. What I didn't understand was what St. George and asparagus have to do with each other. So I looked up "St. George asparagus". St. George day was last Sunday, and now is the kickoff of asparagus time.. And first thing up after this article was a recipe.. for St. George Mushrooms and asparagus..  sounded tasty to me..
