I had surprisingly many moments like this teaching the bible to teenagers! My favourite is when we read about the Crucifixion. I finished the class, and one student jumped up and said: No way this is it?! (Right there with the apostles?)

It is #InternationalDogDay, and I love dogs so letโ€™s have a look at dogs in medieval Ireland. Dogs werenโ€™t just pets then โ€”they were enshrined in law& legend. They were status symbols & even place-names. From lap-dogs to war hounds, their pawprints are everywhere. A thread

According to Bede, the early Anglo-Saxon name for September was Haligmonaรฐ, 'holy month' - perhaps because of rituals celebrating the end of harvest, or because it's the time of the autumnal equinox, when summer gives way to the dark half of the year.
