[Magdalen] Palm Sunday procession leaders

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

We were not to take pictures at our wedding, and the clergy assured us they
would reenact some poses for us when it was all over.  Of course, looking
back, it seems such a tiny thing; I'm not even sure where the album with
the pictures is anymore (though my beloved spouse, I'm sure, does. That's
always the way it works.)
