A "Parson" is a term used to describe a clergyman or minister, particularly in the context of the Church of England. Traditionally, a parson is responsible for the spiritual care of a parish, which is a local church community. They lead worship services, provide guidance to parishioners, and perform sacraments such as baptisms and weddings. In literature, the term is often associated with characters who embody moral integrity and dedication to their faith. For example, in Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, the Parson is depicted as a virtuous and humble figure, contrasting with other less scrupulous religious characters.
