13. THE CHAPEL OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY (Lady Chapel) Passing the brass eagle-lectern, given by Frederick Tooth of the brewery family, we move to the Lady Chapel. It is an ancient tradition in English churches to have a chapel dedicated to Our Lord's mother, known as "Our Lady", hence the name of Lady Chapel. In this chapel we remember and give thanks for her calling to bear and nurture the Son of God. We remember too, our own mothers, and call upon Mary's prayers and example to strengthen us.

High above, on the eastern side of the clerestory, are three windows showing scenes from the life of Mary. Above the organ is the Annunciation, Mary being visited by the angel Gabriel; the Visitation, Mary calling on Elizabeth who is soon to give birth to John the Baptist; the right hand window shows the Madonna and Child in their home at Nazareth. On the west wall, the roundel shows the kiss of Judas. The various memorials in this chapel commemorate some of the notable grazing families of the Goulburn district. The large weaving which hangs at the east end of the chapel features the Madonna and Child. It was crafted in the year 2000 on a hand loom at Crookwell by Alan Craven from local materials. The weaving is a gift from the Friends of St Saviour's Cathedral.
