  1. 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?".

  2. 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
