A Celebration of the Lindisfarne Gospels - This Summer!

Will you be in Northumberland between July 1 and September 30, 2013? If so, you will have the unique opportunity to participate in "The Lindisfarne Gospels and Beyond: Learning Across the Region."  Plays, live music, workshops and other events are being sponsored by Durham University and Durham Cathedral.

The actual gospels will be on display from 10 AM to 10 PM daily in Durham Cathedrals Palace Green Library. 

If you can't quite make it to England this summer, you can still shop online for Lindisfarne Gospel-related gifts and books.  The teddy bear in monk's robes would make a perfect Christmas or birthday gift for SCA members of all ages.

Check out the promotional video from Archeosoup.

Visit the official Lindisfarne Gospel website.

And thanks to Archeooup, who regularly posts Youtube videos about archeological topics and discoveries.  If you hate to read but like to learn about the past, subscribe to Archeosoup's Youtube channel today!

Proof of the Plague - eek!

Well, maybe it's a few centuries too late for "eek!"  Nonetheless, Heavenfield's blog is a great historical resource and this is an interesting short article on the Plague of Justinian.
