We embark on pilgrimage to seek God and the desire to draw closer to God. Visiting holy sites from our faith tradition enkindles in us a deep sense of connection to the roots of our spiritual lineage. I invite you to join us on a pilgrimage to the sacred sites of Southern England. Each day we will take time for prayer and reflection in churches and attend Evensong in cathedrals along the way. We will also have some opportunities for fellowship with other Anglicans, i.e., in Gloucester where we will be greeted by Bishop Rachel. Whatever intentions you set for the journey, whether intercessions, petitions, and thanksgivings, or the simple desire to know God, we invite you to consider joining us. – Amber Sturgess +, Rector, All Saints’, Carmel Day 1: Wednesday, April. 29, 2020 - Departure from the USA ___________________ Depart from San Francisco International Airport for an overnight flight to London.

Camino de Santiago/Way of St James, Spain: along with trips to the Holy Land and Rome, this is the most famous medieval pilgrimage trail of all, and the most well-travelled in medieval times, at least until the advent of Black Death. Its destination point is the spot St James is said to have been buried, in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Today Santiago is one of UNESCO’s World Heritage sites. Read more . the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela holds a Pilgrims’ Mass every day at noon. Walk as much or as little of it as you like. Follow the famous scallop shell symbols. A popular starting point, both today and in the Middle Ages, is either Le Puy in the Massif Central, France OR the famous medieval Abbey at Cluny, near Paris. The Spanish start is from the Pyrenees, on to Roncevalles or Jaca. These routes also take in the Via Regia and/or the Camino Frances. The Portuguese way is also popular: from the Cathedrals in either Lisbon or Porto and then crossing into Falicia/Valenca. At the end of the walk you receive a stamped certifi cate, the Compostela. To achieve this you must have walked at least 100km or cycled for 200. To walk the entire route may take months. Read more . The route has inspired many TV and fi lm productions, such as Simon Reeve’s BBC2 ‘Pilgrimage’ series (2013) and The Way (2010), written and directed by Emilio Estevez, about a father completing the pilgrimage in memory of his son who died along the Way of St James.

  • What Julian Saw: the Embodied Showings and the Items for Private Devotion
    religions Article What Julian Saw: The Embodied Showings and the Items for Private Devotion Juliana Dresvina History Faculty, University of Oxford, 41-47 George St, Oxford OX1 2BE, UK; [email protected] Received: 28 February 2019; Accepted: 29 March 2019; Published: 2 April 2019 Abstract: The article traces potential visual sources of Julian of Norwich’s (1343–after 1416) Revelations or Showings, suggesting that many of them come from familiar everyday devotional objects such as Psalters, Books of Hours, or rosary beads. It attempts to approach Julian’s text from the perspective of neuromedievalism, combining more familiar textual analysis with some recent findings in clinical psychology and neuroscience. By doing so, the essay emphasizes the embodied nature of Julian’s visions and devotions as opposed to the more apophatic approach expected from a mystic. Keywords: revelations; mysticism; ekphrasis; neuromedievalism; neuroarthistory; psychohistory; Julian of Norwich; visions; sleep paralysis; psalters; books of hours; rosary beads 1. Introduction This paper has a very simple thesis to illustrate: that a lot, if not most of theology, found in the writings of Julian of Norwich (1343–after 1416)—a celebrated mystic and the first English female author known by name—comes from familiar, close-to-home objects and images. Images are such an integral aspect of our existence that the famous neuroscientist Rodolfo Llinás, and many after him, claimed that our brain is about making images (Llinás and Paré 1991; Damasio 2010, pp. 63–88). However, such complicated private visual experiences as dream-visions or mystical revelations are insufficient to synthesise knowledge per se, particularly if understood as aimed at a broader community.

  • Tang WK & Kam Helen
    Study Tour Report for the Medieval Germany, Belgium, France and England (Cathedral, Castle and Abbey --- a day visit in York) TANG Wai Keung / Helen KAM 1 Study Tour Report for the Medieval Germany, Belgium, France and England (Cathedral, Castle and Abbey --- a day visit in York) During this 8-day tour in England, we were requested to present a brief on York around its history, famous persons, attractive buildings and remarkable events etc. With the float of the same contents kept in minds even after the tour, we are prepared to write a study tour report based on this one-day visit with emphasis around its medieval period. York has a long turbulent period of history and, as King Edward VI said, “The history of York is the history of England”. This report will start with a brief history of York, which inevitably be related to persons, events and places we came across during this medieval tour. The report will also describe three attractions in York, viz., York Minster and its stained glass, Helmsley Castle and Rievaulx Abbey. 1 York's history The most important building in York is the York Minster, where in front of the main entrance, we found a statue of Constantine (photo 1). It reflects the height of Roman’s powers that conquered the Celtic tribes and founded Eboracum in this city; from here, the history of York started. 1.1 Roman York During our journey in the southern coast of England, Father Ha introduced to us the spots where the Roman first landed in Britain.

  • THE STORY of an ENGLISH SAINT's CULT: an ANALYSIS of the INFLUENCE of ST ÆTHELTHRYTH of ELY, C.670
    THE STORY OF AN ENGLISH SAINT’S CULT: AN ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF ST ÆTHELTHRYTH OF ELY, c.670 – c.1540 by IAN DAVID STYLER A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham August 2019 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis charts the history of the cult of St Æthelthryth of Ely, arguing that its longevity and geographical extent were determined by the malleability of her character, as narrated within the hagiographical texts of her life, and the continued promotion of her shrine by parties interested in utilising her saintly power to achieve their goals. Arranged chronologically and divided into five distinct periods, the thesis demonstrates that this symbiotic relationship was key in maintaining and elongating the life of the cult. Employing digital humanities tools to analyse textual, archaeological, material, cartographic, and documentary sources covering the cult’s eight-hundred-year history, the study charts its development firstly within East Anglia, and subsequently across the whole country, and internationally.

A knowledge of the conditions of his task should make the historian of Jesus take a modest view of its importance ; for, though the tree sprung from Alcock"s acorn has now grown to some size and not a little vigour, for the best part of its existence it was overshadowed by taller neighbours in the academic grove. In fact, except in some short periods of unwonted prosperity, Jesus was, until recent ' 1 times, emphatically a small college, low in revenues, and in numbers competing with Peterhouse and Magda- lene rather than with Caius or Christ's.

  • SAINT LOUIS ABBEY Monks at Oxford
    SAINT LOUIS ABBEY Monks at Oxford by Father Bede Price, OSB [The presence of Benedictines in pre-Reformation Oxford had no small influence on the developments of the University. After Henry VIII there followed three and a half centuries of Benedictine absence until the foundation in 1897 of what was to become Saint Benet’s Hall. This renewed presence has been a major influence on the development of the English Benedictine Congregation and has made its contribution to the university itself. Father Bede. who studied at Saint Benet’s for two years and will soon be M.A. Oxon., writes of this and, especially, of the influence of Oxford on himself. Ed] Just around the corner from Saint Benet’s Hall, Ampleforth’s house of studies in Oxford, stand the beautiful buildings of Worcester College. From a strictly architectural point of view, Worcester is pretty second-rate by Oxford standards. Pevsner damns it with faint praise saying that the eighteenth century buildings are Hawksmoorian rather than actual Hawksmoor, suggesting that though Hawksmoor and Clarke were doubtless involved in their design, these designs were not strictly followed by the actual builders.1 However, these buildings conceal the real architectural treasure of Worcester: a small row of fifteenth century camerae, essentially small houses making up one side of the main quad of the college. These humble stone buildings are the most substantial remains of the Benedictine presence in pre-Reformation Oxford. Carved in stone over the door of each small house is the coat of arms of one of the great Abbeys: Glastonbury, Malmesbury, Saint Augustine’s Canterbury and Pershore.
