How elect your Architecture! How serene your walls remain: Never moved by, Rather proved by Wind, and storm, and surge, and rain! ADAM ST. VICTOR, of the Twelfth Century. Dr. J. M. Neale's translation in JMediaval Hymns and Sequences. PREFACE account of the Saxon Cathedral at Canterbury, and of the Saxon Saints buried therein, was written primarily for new THISmembers of Archaeological Societies, as well as for general readers who might desire to learn something of its history and organiza- tion in those far-away days. The matter has been drawn from the writings of men long since passed away. Their dust lies commingled with that of their successors who lived down to the time when this ancient Religious House fell upon revolutionary days, who witnessed its dissolution as a Priory of Benedictine Monks after nine centuries devoted to the service of God, and its re-establishment as a College of secular canons. This important change, taking place in the sixteenth century, was, with certain differences, a return to the organization which existed during the Saxon period.

In it, I study the hagiographies written about the royal female saints of Ely by the Flemish monk Goscelin of Saint-Bertin in the late eleventh century as a form of postcolonial literature and memory creation. Goscelin was a renowned writer of Anglo-Saxon saints’ lives. Through his hagiographies he not only created images of England’s Christian past that emphasized its pious, sophisticated rulers and close ties to the papacy, he engaged in political commentary and criticism.

  • The Role of Early Medieval Saints in English Church Dedications Beyond the Conquest and the Reformation
    Chapter 27 Leavings or Legacies? The Role of Early Medieval Saints in English Church Dedications beyond the Conquest and the Reformation Michael Hicks Every English church is dedicated to some aspect of the godhead or to a patron saint, often commemorated in the place names, such as St Albans in Hertford- shire, Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, and St Osyth in Essex. Many of the earliest missionaries and those princesses who founded nunneries have been reviewed by Barbara Yorke in work which has done much to reveal the early medieval legacy of the landscape of Britain.1 The dedications of parish churches are among the most obvious elements of that legacy but they also reveal much of the perceptions of that legacy in the later Middle Ages. Although this paper focuses on Anglo-Saxon dedications before the Nor- man Conquest, the discussion also includes native British saints or Celtic dat- ing before the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons, some of later date, Anglo-Saxon saints who operated within England and abroad (e.g. St Boniface), universal and Roman saints venerated within England, and some others, notably the 11th- and 12th-century Vikings King Olaf Haraldsson and Earl Magnus. This pa- per considers these early contributions to the pool of dedications current in today’s churches and how and why the dedications have multiplied and then were curtailed in the millennium since the Norman Conquest. Thus St Petroc was the most popular native/British or Celtic saint in the West Country, to judge from his fourteen dedications in Cornwall and Devon; there

Text may contain errors. (Report errors to [email protected]) CHAPTER I GENERAL REMARKS ON SHRINES (Part Two) The name of “Peter the Roman citizen” may still be read on the shrine he made for St. Edward the Confessor, but of all the artificers of such works the greater number of names perpetuated are of skilful Irishmen. Three smiths, “expert at shaping,” MacCrecht, Laebhan, and Fortchern, are mentioned as belonging to St. Patrick’s family, or monastic brethren ; and three skilful artificers, Aesbuite, Tairill, and Tassach. St. Bridget’s principal artist in gold, silver, and other metals was Bishop Conla. To properly understand a bishop being so employed, his peculiar position in a Celtic monastery must be considered. St. Dageus, who lived in the sixth century, was a prolific maker of shrines ;1 and of the hereditary mechanics of the monastery at Kells, Sitric MacAeda stands pre-eminent in the eleventh century. The reputation of the saint influenced the position of the shrine, and in some cases controlled the plan of the church in which the shrine was erected. Various saints were held in different degrees of veneration by the faithful according to their local popularity, their lives , deaths, or the number of miracles attributed to them. The space behind the high altar, the beam above the altar, or a separate chapel, was appropriated to the site for the shrine by the devotion accorded to the saint.

  • Holy Martyrs Princes Æthelred and Æthelberht.Pdf
    TWO LOCAL SAINTS: Right-Believing Passion Bearers and Holy Martyrs Princes Æthelred and Æthelberht Saint Æthelred and Saint Æthelberht*, brothers, princes of Kent, martyred c. 640 (Lectionary date), most probably c. 669. Feast: 17th October -Translation of their relics. TROPARION (Tone 4): O holy princes and passion-bearers Æthelred and Æthelberht,/ in thy holy martyrdom thou didst show unto us the true Faith, /for in obedience to Christ was pour out thy blood as a fragrant balm, /and whose sacred relics were revealed by light divine, /pray for us, o good ones, that our souls be saved. KONTAKION (Tone 1): Let us praise the righteous martyrs: / the brothers Æthelred and Æthelberht, / for in their martyric deaths and in their holy relics / they exude, O Christ God, divine grace from Thee the well-spring of life! ‘Passion Bearer’ denotes a particular God-inspired saint, one who, rather than resisting evil with evil, and spilling blood, has faced his or her bodily death in a peaceful, Christ-like, manner. Passion Bearers are not explicitly killed for their faith, though they hold to that faith with piety and true love of God. Thus, although all martyrs are Passion Bearers, not all Passion Bearers are Martyrs in the strict understanding of the term. In the Russian tradition we find such jewels of peace-loving passion bearers as the princes and brothers, St. Boris and St. Gleb. Here, in Essex, was once venerated the holy relics of two other such princely brothers, the Passion Bearers, St. Æthelred and St. Æthelberht. St. Æthelred and St. Æthelberht were of a family both royal and pious.
