  • The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension
    The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension Introduction History of Martyrologies The Martyrology is an official liturgical book of the Catholic Church. The official Latin version of the Martyrology contains a short liturgical service the daily reading of the Martyrology’s list of saints for each day. The oldest surviving martyologies are the lists of martyrs and bishops from the fourth-century Roman Church. The martyrology wrongly attributed to St. Jerome was written in Ital in the second half of the fifth century, but all the surviving versions of it come from Gaul. It is a simple martyrology, which lists the name of the saint and the date and place of death of the saint. Historical martyrologies give a brief history of the saints. In the eighth and ninth centuries, St. Bede, Rhabanus Maurus, and Usuard all wrote historical martyrologies. The Roman Martyrology, based primarily on Usuard’s, was first published in 1583, and the edition of 1584 was made normative in the Roman rite by Gregory XIII. The post-Vatican II revision appeared first in 2001. A revision that corrected typographical errors and added 117 people canonized by Pope John Paul II between 2001 and 2004, appeared in 2005.1 The Purpose and Principles of This Martyology The primary purpose of this martyrology is to provide an historically accurate text for liturgical use at the monastery, where each day after noon prayer it is customary to read the martyrology for the following day. Some things in this martyrology are specific to the Monastery of the Ascension: namesdays of the members of the community, anniversaries of members of the community who have died, a few references to specific events or saints of local interest.

  • The Holy Maid of Wales: Visions, Imposture and Catholicism in Elizabethan Britain
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo 1 The Holy Maid of Wales: Visions, Imposture and Catholicism in Elizabethan Britain Alexandra Walsham (University of Cambridge) Abstract: This article explores the case of Elizabeth Orton of Overton in Flintshire, a young girl who experienced two ecstatic visions in February and March 1581 and was later exposed as a fraud. First, it uses this intriguing incident to illuminate the precarious stability of the Elizabethan polity at a moment of acute political crisis, when the fate of the Reformation itself seemed to be balanced on a knife edge. It contends that religious developments in north Wales and the Marches were far more significant than has previously been recognised and investigates how far it was inflected by Welsh patriotism. Secondly, it focuses attention on the rhetorical strategies by which Elizabeth Orton was discredited – on the modes of argument that were utilised in the ensuing contest about her own authenticity and about the truth of the Catholic religion. Setting aside the question of whether or not she was guilty of faking her trances and revelations, it suggests that the incident sheds fresh light on the nature and evolution of the entangled concepts of the imposture, hypocrisy and fraud. It shows how anxiety about the status and source of Elizabeth’s ecstatic experiences converged with intense concern about a second species of deceit and dissimulation: religious conformity. 2 At 8pm on the feast of Candlemas 1581 a thirteen-year-old girl from Overton in Flintshire who was sitting by the fireside in her father’s house suddenly began to weep.1 She fell down on her knees in front of her stepmother, sobbing and sighing that her time was appointed, and begging the forgiveness of any that she had offended.

As the Reformation in Wales became a pivotal point in history both in terms of religion, and also in language, law and unity with England, it seems that the continuance of the Catholic faith had been diminished, and willingly overthrown by the Anglican Protestant Church (Bradshaw 1998, p74), and it is noted that in the Protestant faith, ‘crucially-public worship was Welsh’ (Suggett and White 2002 p53).

  • Vagabonds and Minstrels in Sixteenth-Century Wales Vagabonds and Minstrels in Sixteenth-Century Wales Richard Suggett
    Chapter 5 The spoken word6 Vagabonds and minstrels in sixteenth-century Wales Vagabonds and minstrels in sixteenth-century Wales Richard Suggett hroughout much of late medieval and early modern Europe, from TPoland and Russia in the east to Wales and Ireland in the west, itinerant minstrels entertained noble and plebeian audiences. Wandering entertainers may well have provided (as Burke has suggested) one of the unifying elements within European popular culture. A pan-European tradition of minstrelsy, crossing social and cultural boundaries, is an appealing idea, but the differ- ences as well as the similarities between minstrels need to be appreciated. A diversity of vernacular terms for minstrels conveyed status differences as well as different performance skills among the entertainers. Some perform- ance genres travelled better than others. Low-status physical performers – acrobats, jugglers and dancers – probably moved more easily between different language and cultural groupings than verbal performers, who might have high status within their own speech communities. Traditions of minstrelsy that gave high prestige to oral poetry and the music that accompanied recitation, and were tightly related to internal social structures, may have been important for defining local solidarities but might be regarded externally as ludicrously unmusical. However it is clear that, despite a diversity of performance genres, minstrels considered as a professional occupational grouping shared recognizably similar historical experiences of itinerancy, episodic persecution, and attempts at self-protection through membership of fraternities. Minstrels were culturally important as entertainers, social com- mentators and remembrancers but their mobility, communication in oral rather than written genres, and increasingly marginal position in the sixteenth century have made entertainers particularly elusive for the historian.

  • Tudor Religious Changes
    TUDOR RELIGIOUS CHANGES KEY STAGE 3 In the sixteenth century Britain and Europe experienced a hugely significant and far-reaching challenge to existing ideas: the Reformation. This was a religious movement which clashed with the powerful institution of the Catholic Church and challenged people’s beliefs about God and the world. A new strand of Christian faith emerged from the Reformation called Protestantism. Protestants saw the old Catholic faith and those who practised it as their enemies. Catholics likewise viewed Protestants as heretics tearing down centuries of tradition. The Reformation affected how ordinary people worshipped in their local churches but also how they thought about their place in society. Across Europe it also threatened kings and queens, toppled governments and sparked rebellions. Much of the blood spilled in sixteenth-century Europe was shed because of religion and battles over the Reformation. As all of this shows, religion was a much more important part of this society than is the case in most western countries today. Everyone, from monarchs to peasants, saw religion as a crucial feature of their lives. Imagine, then, the huge challenges presented by King Henry VIII’s decision in the 1530s to break with the Catholic Church and set England and Wales on the road to Protestantism. This struck directly at the religion which had been at the core of Welsh life and identity for a thousand years. Beloved beliefs and practices were forbidden. The worship of cherished local saints and pilgrimages to important shrines were stopped. Churches changed radically as colourful paintings were blotted out and beautiful images (like stained glass) and statues were vandalised or destroyed.
