In St. Magnus Cathedral, Orkney, the bones of St. Magnus were discovered secreted in a pillar

I’ve stopped and looked at this pillar many times, but last time I visited the Cathedral – on All Souls Day this year –  for some reason the patterns on the stones caught my attention.

Ripples, shapes like woven cloth, a variety of colour and form.

So I took some pictures and thought I’d put them together
