Despite Scots weather (medieval), past and present @durhammemsa.bsky.social members @areforbes.bsky.social & @aucointaylor.bsky.social swelled @medievaljay.bsky.social's merry band for tonight's talk @cmrsedinburgh.bsky.social. Well worth the trip, which did not disappoint the Indiana Jones setup.

Photographed these from the floor of the nave only a few months ago, but going up a ladder really enhances how special these wall paintings are. #Wallpaintings #StCuthbert #Medievalchurches

For those members of Jay's loyal army of followers south of the border, I'll making the pilgrimage from @durhammemsa.bsky.social to @cmrsedinburgh.bsky.social next week. You should join, if only for the plot twists, which from experience, will be excellent. #DeusVult
To my vast, loyal army of followers in Scotland, I am giving a talk at the University of Edinburgh next Tuesday 3 February on the discovery and veneration of the bodies of Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob in 12th-century crusader Hebron. There will be plot twists. Gratitude to @pseudo-isidore.bsky.social
