Murder in the Cathedral

 December 29    Feast of Saint Thomas a Becket    

  I will never forget my visit to Canterbury Cathedral in the summer of 1976.  That's where the king's knights murdered him.


and of course , the destination of Chaucer's pilgrims.

Soldiers are still killing pesky bishops in this day; witness Archbishop Oscar Romero in El Salvador.







Makes me also post this comment by Virginia Woolf:
