Pulcherrima rosa de spina floruit
Ex flore germinosa lilium genuit
Servans pudorem ex virgineo more
Peperit factura factura factorem.
Virgo singularis te nulla dignior
Fulgens stella maris luna lucidior
Sic succuristi regina mundo tristi
Eve matris sic quae noxam que solvisti.
Esto nobis grata tis aput filium
Mater advocata post hoc exilium
Nos per iuvamen pater natus ac flamen
Tuum mater virgo solvat omnes.
Amen.
Latin Text: CPDL
Most Beautiful Rose blooming from a thorn
From the budding flower, a lily born
Serving modestly and in a Virginal way
The created one bore The Creator
Unique Virgin, no-one is worthy of you
Gleaming Star of the Sea, Light and the Moon
Serving modestly and in a Virginal way
The created one bore The Creator
Such succour Queen of this sad World
And Mother of Eve who lightens our punishment
Serving modestly and in a Virginal way
The created one bore The Creator
Freely for us, beside your Son, Mother and witness
After this Earthly exile
Serving modestly and in a Virginal way
The created one bore The Creator.

Saint Clement, a successor of Saint Peter, is named third in The Canon of The Mass, after The Apostles.
The Letter of Saint Clement to The Corinthians is one of the most precious documents of the earliest Christian Centuries.
Following the affirmation of Origen, The Roman Breviary confuses this Saint with another Clement, an auxiliary of Saint Paul. Wherefore, the Epistle chosen is that in which The Apostle speaks of the Clement who worked with him for the Gospel and whose name is written in The Book of Life.
On the testimony of The Greek Acts of Saint Clement, dating from the 4th-Century A.D., The Roman Martyrology likewise declares that "relegated to Chersonese during Trajan's persecution, he at last won the glorious Crown of Martyrdom, having been cast into the sea with an anchor attached to his neck." "His body," it adds, "was carried to Rome, under the Pontificate of Pope Nicholas I and Solemnly laid in the Church which had been built in his memory."

This Church, where The Station is held on The Monday of The Second Week in Lent, is one of the most interesting in Rome, because it most faithfully represents the ancient Plan of a Roman Basilica. It has, in front, an Atrium, or Courtyard, surrounded by Porticoes, with the Fountain in the centre, where the Faithful cleansed themselves before entering The Holy Building, and which is recalled by our Holy Water Stoups and Baptismal Fonts at the entrance of our Churches.
The Interior comprises three Naves, separated by Columns; the central Nave contains the Ambos, or Pulpits, where the Epistle and Gospel are read. The Lateral Naves were reserved, one for men, the other for women.

Behind the Altar, at the back of the Apse, stands the Bishop's Chair, around which was grouped the Clergy. It is the only Church which gives such a clear account of the distinctions made among Christians.
In the first precinct, were admitted Catechumens and Penitents, who could only be present at the first part of The Mass (from the Introit to the Offertory), thence called Mass of the Catechumens. In the second part were the Faithful, who heard the second part of The Mass (from the Offertory to the end), thence called Mass of the Faithful. In the Apse, was the place reserved for Priests, whence it is called Presbyterium. Christian architecture thus showed forth the hierarchy established by Divine Right in The Church.

Ely Cathedral has its origins in 672 A.D., when Saint Etheldreda built an Abbey Church. The present building dates back to 1083, and Cathedral status was granted it in 1109. Until The Reformation, it was the Church of Saint Etheldreda and Saint Peter, at which point it was re-Founded as The Cathedral Church of The Holy and Undivided Trinity of Ely, continuing as the principal Church of The Diocese of Ely, in Cambridgeshire, England.
It is the Seat of The Bishop of Ely and a Suffragan Bishop, the Bishop of Huntingdon. Architecturally, it is outstanding, both for its scale and stylistic details. Having been built in a monumental Romanesque Style, the Galilee Porch, Lady Chapel and Choir were rebuilt in an exuberant Decorated Gothic Style. Its most famous feature, however, is the central Octagonal Tower, with Lantern, above, which provides a spectacular Internal space and, along with The West Tower, gives a unique Exterior landmark that dominates the surrounding landscape.
