“A friend once went into an ecclesiastical furnishings outlet. "I'm looking for one of those collapsible lecterns that you can fold away after the service," he said. "I think you'll find our lecterns don't collapse, sir: it will be a legilium you'll be looking for," came the reply.”

“In some churches it may be possible to place it next to the lectern or legilium, so that the light of the risen Christ illuminates the reading of the Word of God.”

“Beautifully designed and equally beautifully executed, these amazing items - a super frontal and frontal altar cloth, burse, stole, veil, gospel marker, and legilium hanging - are now on show in the church for visitors and church-goers alike to wonder at and admire.”

“Sister Carol Elizabeth SSM at the legilium during the solemn eucharist”

“In view of the rapid turnover of prime ministers, would it not help the economy if they stopped commissioning personalised lecterns and were loaned a simple folding legilium instead? You can get new ones for about £250.”
