Went to Oxford, my legs hurt a lot, why didn’t they put the bag storage near the train station… it was technically the place was a hotel, but that’s where the train station said we should go. My calves still hurt when moving…

Yesterday (September 27) was the commemoration of St. Sigebehrt, King of East Anglia, who established the nucleus of Cambridge University sometime in the 7th century (mid-600s), which was a monastic school at its core and later on became the university that it is today.
On the 19th of October, St. Frideswide (or St. Frithuswith) is commemorated. She’s a nun from the 7th century, daughter of King Didan of Eynsham, and she established the monastery which later on became Oxford University.
Why don’t more people talk about the origins of these great institutions? To deny these facts is erasure of the Christian heritage of modern society. It is thanks to the Christian faith that humanity has advanced this far.
