Maybe it's just me, but "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?", as an exclamation, has always struck me as leaning in the same general direction as "Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?".

After #ThomasBecket was assassinated in #CanterburyCathedral on 29 Dec 1170, reports of miraculous healing started to circulate within a week, and pilgrim numbers soared. The vibrant colours of the #StainedGlass windows around his shrine may have seemed almost as wondrous to #medieval visitors as the #miracles they depict.

Today is the feast of #ThomasBecket, Archbishop of Canterbury, martyred for the separation of church and state, refusing to subjugate it to King Henry. At the Reformation, his tomb was the first targeted when another King Henry, with the willing aid of another Archbishop Thomas, succeeded in placing the church under the state.
Holy Thomas, assist us now in opposing #ChristianNationalists and all who would use Christ's church to serve their political ends rather than the Gospel of love. -
I share my birthday with the feast day of Thomas Becket, the day on which he was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral. Here the events of 29 Dec 1170 are carved into a font from Lyngsjö Church, Sweden - on display in 2021 at the British Museum Becket exhibition. We see his murder at the hands of the knights and Edward Grim (one of the witnesses) taking a wound on the arm #medieval #becket #histodons #history #sverige #MedievalMastodon #saint #saints #ThomasBecket

Thomas Becket, a martyr in the Anglican and Catholic churches, was assassinated by a group of knights loyal to King Henry II of England inside Canterbury Cathedral on 29 December 1170. Becket has since been venerated as a saint in both churches.
