I recently came back from a trip to England. There is no way to understand a place better than by visiting it. Kneeling where St. Thomas a Becket stood as he was martyred, looking out of the same window as William Shakespeare did every morning, taking in the same view as St. Thomas More did from the Tower of London, or standing on the White Cliffs of Dover near the military tunnels of World War II, history begins to come alive. This is important because, without an accurate understanding of the past, we are no better than a confused amnesiac in the present. Below are a few of the important births, deaths, and events that happened this past week in history.
Love this! Thank you, Catherine.
