Photograph of the plaque next to the shrine of Hugh of Lincoln.
- By the remains of the shrine of "Little St. Hugh".
- Trumped up stories of "ritual murders" of Christian boys by Jewish communities were common throughout Europe during the Middle Ages and even much later. These fictions cost many innocent Jews their lives. Lincoln had its own legend and the alleged victim was buried in the Cathedral in the year 1255.
- Such stories do not redound to the credit of Christendom, and so we pray:
- Lord, forgive what we have been,
- amend what we are,
- and direct what we shall be.
