Catholic Cathedral Flower Girls 1951
Catholic Cathedral Flower Girls 1951
This photo was taken by a Mr McGregor who took many photographs for the Catholics in the 1950s. These girls had to be under 7yrs to qualify as Flower Girls for the Catholic Cathedral, Christchurch. These girls were pupils at the then St Joseph's Cathedral School in Barbadoes Street. They wore white dresses and veils, pink capes and pink headbands and carried baskets of fresh petal flowers every first Sunday night of the month to scatter in front of the Sacramental Monstrance carried by the Bishop in Procession. The banner is pink and depicts the “Little King”.
