Y viva España #3

Report comes to us in the form of a rather rum Facebook status update, that Sister Evangelica has not laughed harder in years, possibly centuries. It would seem that one of the portlier sisters, feeling plucky and adventury on their trip to the water park, braved one of the slides but got stuck in the tube. Apparently it took several of the smaller nuns, sent in like chimney sweeps under the matronly guidance of Mother Prioress, to free up the blockage.

Today, we have another Canon’s bonete, though here with a green tassel, as is also an acceptable custom in Spain.     

Y viva España # 2

Late last night we received a secretive text from one of the younger nuns (secretive since Mother Prioress banned possession of mobile phones when she caught a sister playing Angry Birds during vespers) saying they’d arrived safe and sound and made a beeline for the church of Santa Maria Stella Maris, apart from Mother Prioress, who made a beeline for a pint of stella.

So in our run of hats we turn our attentions to the Spanish Canon, here shown with what we unabashedly trumpet as frankly magnificent plumage. 

Red Alert

Here we have a Canon’s or Dean’s biretta. It has a red tuft and red lining. Some have red piping, should the pom-pom not on its own not quite strike the right note.
