It commemorates the life of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, together as a family. The feast has been observed by the Copts from early mes but in Western Chrisanity, it became popular in 17th century and was officially instuted in 1921 by Pope Benedict XV. The feast itself was moved to the Sunday a er Christmas in 1969. It is hard to believe that this feast is relavely new because we are so used to see the images of the Holy Family on Christmas cards and many churches chose the name of the Holy Family. God became human in a family and recognized by this the big value of family. As bp Barron says” the creator of the cosmos, who transcends any definion or concept, took to himself a nature like ours, and became one of us. The infinite and the finite met, the eternal and the temporal embraced, the fashioner of the galaxies and planets became a baby.” Jesus grew up in his Holy Family, he learned to love there, and he learned about God and faith as well. Their daily responsibilies and simple dues were filled with abundant God’s graces. Living a holy life might be slightly easier for Holy Family but each Chrisan family has the same mission to guard, reveal and communicate love and share the Gospel (JP2 “Familiaris Consoro”). We should also try to fulfill this mission to our best ability. ~~ Renata Sosin ************************************************** W tę niedzielę obchodzimy Święto Świętej Rodziny. Upamiętnia ono życie Jezusa, Marii i Józefa, razem jako rodzina. Uroczystość ta była obchodzona przez Koptów od wczesnych czasów, ale w zachodnim chrześcijaństwie stała się popularna w XVII wieku i została oficjalnie ustanowiona w 1921 roku przez papieża Benedykta XV. Uroczystość została przeniesiona na niedzielę po Bożym Narodzeniu w 1969 roku. Trudno uwierzyć, że to święto jest stosunkowo nowe, ponieważ jesteśmy przyzwyczajeni do oglądania obrazów Świętej Rodziny na kartach bożonarodzeniowych i wiele kościołów wybrało nazwę Świętej Rodziny. Bóg stał się człowiekiem w rodzinie i uznał przez to wielką wartość rodziny. Jak mówi biskup Barron" twórca kosmosu, który wykracza poza wszelkie definicje i pojęcia, wziął sobie taką naturę jak nasza i stał się jednym z nas. Nieskończone i skończone spotkało się, wieczne i doczesne objęło się, a twórca galaktyk i planet stał się dzieckiem. " Jezus wzrastał w swojej Świętej Rodzinie, nauczył się tam kochać w, jak również poznał Boga i wiarę. Ich codzienne i proste obowiązki były wypełnione obfitymi Bożymi łaskami. Prowadzenie świętego życia może było nieco łatwiejsze dla Świętej Rodziny, ale każda chrześcijańska rodzina ma tę samą misję strzeżenia, ujawniania i przekazywania miłości i dzielenia się Ewangelią (JP2 "Familiaris Consoro"). Powinniśmy spróbować wypełnić tę misję najlepiej jak potrafimy. Renata Sosin Page 4 Welcome to St. Thomas Becket The Holy Family RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS—THE GIFT OF FAMILY What a year it has been! How will we speak of these mes a decade from now? As me goes by, our impressions of this past year will certainly change. How we feel today about dealing with a killer virus and all the chaos surrounding that is sll fresh for all. I would assume that most of us right now are also holding those we love a lile closer and hugging them a lile harder. Hopefully, even if the fears and concerns of 2020 dissipate in the future, the way we feel toward our family should never leave us. Stewardship is certainly about everything. God has given us so much, great and small, profound and common. One of the greatest gi s that all have received is family. Families take all shapes and sizes and some look very different than others. For some, family is a caretaker or temporary guardian. For others it is a friend when everyone else seems to have vanished. The boom line is that, to quote a song from many years ago, “people need people.” When God gave the world His only Son, the Incarnaon did not come on a cloud or with a flash of light. He was born into a family. Jesus understood the gi of family all his life. Do you think that if having a family wasn’t important God would have sll included this in the plan of salvaon? As this year draws to a close, remember your stewardship many days begins and ends with the people closest to you. Don’t misuse or take for granted this precious gi . God gives us gi s on purpose, even to His only begoen Son. — Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS ****************************************************** ROZPOZNAJ BOGA W SWOICH ZWYKŁYCH CHWILACH—DAR RODZINY Co to był za rok! Jak będziemy mówić o tych czasach za dziesięć lat? W miarę upływu czasu, nasze wrażenia z tego minionego roku na pewno się zmienią. Jak się dziś czujemy, mając do czynienia z zabójczym wirusem i całym tym chaosem wokół, który jest jeszcze świeży dla wszystkich. Zakładam, że większość z nas trzyma teraz tych, których kochamy nieco bliżej i przytula ich nieco mocniej. Miejmy nadzieję, że nawet jeśli obawy i niepokoje roku 2020 rozproszą się w przyszłości, sposób, w jaki czujemy się wobec naszej rodziny, nigdy nie powinien nas opuścić. Zarządzanie talentami i darami od Boga dotyka wszystkiego. Bóg dał nam tak wiele, to wielkie i małe, to głębokie i pospolite. Jednym z największych darów, jaki wszyscy otrzymaliśmy, to rodzina. Rodziny przybierają wszelkie kształty i rozmiary, a niektóre z nich wyglądają zupełnie inaczej niż inne. Dla niektórych rodzina jest opiekunką lub tymczasową opiekunką. Dla innych jest przyjacielem gdy wszyscy inni wydają się znikać. Najważniejsze jest to, że, cytując piosenkę sprzed wielu lat, "ludzie potrzebują ludzi". Kiedy Bóg dał światu swego jedynego Syna, Wcielenie nie przyszło na chmurce ani z błyskiem światła. Urodził się w rodzinie. Jezus rozumiał dar rodziny przez całe swoje życie. Czy uważasz, że gdyby posiadanie rodziny nie było ważne, Bóg nadal włączyłby to w plan zbawienia? Gdy ten rok dobiega końca, pamiętajmy, że wiele dni zaczyna i kończy się z najbliższymi nam ludźmi. Nie nadużywajmy i nie bierzmy „za pewne” tego cennego daru. Bóg daje nam dary celowo, nawet dał to dla swego Jednorodzonego Syna. ~~ Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS December 27, 2020 Welcome to St. Thomas Becket Page 5 OUR PATRON—ST. THOMAS BECKET, BISHOP AND MARTYR—FEAST DAY DEC 29TH. Thomas Becket, (born c. 1118 in London, died December 29, 1170 in Canterbury) - martyr, saint of the Catholic Church, Archbishop of Canterbury (1162-1170) and Chancellor of England. Thomas Becket studied in Paris, and a er being ordained a priest, he connued to study law in Bologna. Thomas was a friend of King Henry II, who, in the hope of gaining more influence in the Church, appointed him Archbishop of Canterbury. However, their paths soon diverged. In 1164, Henry issued the so-called Clarendon constuons, in which he forbade lay people to be brought before the ecclesiascal courts, ordered the clergy to be criminally responsible before the secular courts, strengthened the king's influence on the elecon of bishops, and forbade appeals to Rome without the monarch's consent.

  • Colleague, Critic, and Sometime Counselor to Thomas Becket
    JOHN OF SALISBURY: COLLEAGUE, CRITIC, AND SOMETIME COUNSELOR TO THOMAS BECKET By L. Susan Carter A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History–Doctor of Philosophy 2021 ABSTRACT JOHN OF SALISBURY: COLLEAGUE, CRITIC, AND SOMETIME COUNSELOR TO THOMAS BECKET By L. Susan Carter John of Salisbury was one of the best educated men in the mid-twelfth century. The beneficiary of twelve years of study in Paris under the tutelage of Peter Abelard and other scholars, John flourished alongside Thomas Becket in the Canterbury curia of Archbishop Theobald. There, his skills as a writer were of great value. Having lived through the Anarchy of King Stephen, he was a fierce advocate for the liberty of the English Church. Not surprisingly, John became caught up in the controversy between King Henry II and Thomas Becket, Henry’s former chancellor and successor to Theobald as archbishop of Canterbury. Prior to their shared time in exile, from 1164-1170, John had written three treatises with concern for royal court follies, royal pressures on the Church, and the danger of tyrants at the core of the Entheticus de dogmate philosophorum , the Metalogicon , and the Policraticus. John dedicated these works to Becket. The question emerges: how effective was John through dedicated treatises and his letters to Becket in guiding Becket’s attitudes and behavior regarding Church liberty? By means of contemporary communication theory an examination of John’s writings and letters directed to Becket creates a new vista on the relationship between John and Becket—and the impact of John on this martyred archbishop.

  • Background: What Was the Church and Why Was It Important?
    Background: What was the Church and why was it important? To fully understand the issues at stake in this topic, we need firstly to work out what the Church was and why it was so important during this time period. What is the Church? When I use the word ‘Church’ it generally means everybody working for the Church, from the Pope at its head, down to Archbishop, Bishops, the priests and clerks. It also includes all of the buildings and land attached to Christianity and the money that comes in from those lands. When we refer to ‘The Church’ it means the whole institution, not just a physical building, i.e. the village church. Why was the Church so important? In medieval England, the Church dominated everybody's life. All Medieval people - be they village peasants, barons, knights, kings or towns people - believed that God, Heaven and Hell existed The control the Church had over the people was total. For example, peasants worked for free on church land for a certain number of days a year and had to give 10% of their earnings to the Church (this payment was called a Tithe) The Church was very wealthy and owned lots of land, some reasons are: - If you died you had to pay to be buried on Church lands - If you were born you had to give a donation in order to be baptised - You could buy ‘Indulgences’ to guarantee you would go to heaven. Interestingly, when Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries (buildings where monks lived) in the 1500’s he received 25% of total land in England.

    Doccombe Parishscapes Newsletter January 2017 Welcome to our January Parishscapes Newsletter We wish everyone a wonderful new year ahead and our Parishscapes project is set to accelerate in 2017 with a lot planned. In this newsletter we thought we would give you some background history to the story of Thomas Becket so hope you find this interesting and informative. In the meantime our main work has been to continue transcribing and translating the manorial records of Doccombe manor. One group has been working their way through the manorial courts of the reign of Henry VIIth where some interesting references to Charcoal pits in the woods and tin-mining have emerged. The other group have looked at a number of C17th leases of tenancies, but also of the whole manor and the woods. They are following this with some interesting biographical work on the men who leased the manor. We also have some stimulating talks and events coming up. We'll keep you posted as we schedule them - look out for a fascinating evening with Professor Nicholas Vincent below. For more up-to-date information and our blog go to http://www.doccombeparishscapes.co.uk/ Project Lead Bill Hardiman / Project Manager-Administration Katheryn Hope The Story of Thomas Becket Thomas Becket’s death remains one of the most famous stories associated with Medieval England. Becket was a 12th century chancellor and archbishop of Canterbury whose murder resulted in his canonisation. Thomas Becket was born in 1118, the son of a prosperous London merchant. He was well educated first at Merton priory, then in a City of London school, and finally in Paris.

  • The Tragicall Historye of the Saintly and Devouted Thomas Á Beckett and His Quarrelsome Dispute with the Ruthless and Impetuous Henry Plantagenet, Kynge of England
    THE TRAGICALL HISTORYE OF THE SAINTLY AND DEVOUTED THOMAS Á BECKETT AND HIS QUARRELSOME DISPUTE WITH THE RUTHLESS AND IMPETUOUS HENRY PLANTAGENET, KYNGE OF ENGLAND SLIDE 1 Thomas Becket was a clever Londoner dedicated to the wine trade, a prosperous business at that time. Thomas was sociable and knew everybody in town and at court. Henry II, King of England, Duke of Normandy, Duke of Aquitaine, Count of Anjou, and Lord of Ireland took notice of him. SLIDE 2 Henry II was a man with boundless energy that could never be sitting down for more than two seconds. He passed laws, and laws, and laws, and more laws, and then he indulged himself in continuous amorous adventures because his mercurial wife, the beautiful Eleanor of Aquitaine and him, did not have a good relationship. Thomas joined Henry II in a constant parade all through the Kingdom. And wherever they went, falcons, falconers, dogs, horses, knights, beaters, warriors, cooks, ladies, hunters, musicians, dancers, acrobats, and minstrels followed them. Being close to Henry II was a ticket to la dolce vita. However everything wasn't a bed of roses for these two partners in crime Henry and Thomas, and although Henry II was a cheerful and friendly man, he had one defect: he would never accept being second best to anyone. So on occasions, Becket had to let the King beat him at cards, at horsemanship, at hunting, at dice, and in amorous conquests. 1 SLIDE 3 Only one person would be a match for Henry II, and that was Philip Augustus, the homicidically brave King of France.

  • NOTES on the SURNAME BARHAM and Some of the Families That Have Borne It
    NOTES ON THE SURNAME BARHAM And some of the families that have borne it By Sidney Pay Barham (1887 -1978) All surnames at first must have had a meaning and this meaning may still be apparent in the present form of the surname, but in many cases the name may have suffered distortion in the course of centuries and in the original significance became obscure. Some surnames are, or embody, Christian names that have passed down from father to son such as James, Jackson, Thompson. Others denote physical characteristics, for example Long, Brown, Armstrong; or occupations, Farmer, Smith, Carter, and so forth. One large class of surnames indicate the original place of residence of the clan, either in general terms such as Hill, Field or Townsend, or more specifically such as York or Oxford. The surname Barham is one of this class. There are four places in England that are called Barham, three are in East Anglia (in Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire and Suffolk) and one in East Kent, a village about six miles from Canterbury. In all probability it is the Kentish Barham that has given its name to the family, for the early members of the latter were associated with Kent and with the village of Barham in particular. The name of the village was spelt Berham in the early days Barham. Pronunciation also provides a slight clue. As far as I can ascertain, the East Anglian Barhams are pronounced with a long a in the first syllable – Barham, whilst the name of the Kentish village and family is pronounced with a short a as in bat and not as in car.

  • Appleby in Westmorland
    Medieval Fact Sheet Appleby in Westmorland St Lawrence’s Church and the Boroughgate, Appleby _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Introduction Appleby in Westmorland is in the Eden Valley in Cumbria. The name is of Scandinavian origin meaning a town with apple trees and it is believed to have been first settled by Scandinavian settlers in the ninth century. However, it is possible that the site was settled earlier as it is close to the Roman road from York to Carlisle and to a ford over the River Eden that connects the Roman road with the road south to Lunesdale. It is also surrounded by villages that bear Anglo-Saxon place-names such as Bolton, Dufton and Murton so there may have been Anglo- Saxon settlements in the area. Appleby was originally two separate towns. The first was established by Scandinavian settlers on high ground on the east bank of the Eden at the junction of the Roman road and the road that leads down to the ford. It is sometimes said that the town was founded by Halfdan in 875. The name Halfdan signifies a man who was half Danish. This settlement was (and still is) known as the Bongate – a Scandinavian place name that signifies a street occupied by bonded men. The second was established following the Norman conquest on lower ground to the west of the river in an area that was easily defensible being surrounded on three sides by the river. This was (and still is) known as the Boroughgate – a Scandinavian place name that signifies a street occupied by Burgesses or free men.
