The Feast of the Venerable Bede
Monday 25 May
In the Year of Our Lord Two
Thousand and Twenty
[i] The Venerable
Bede’s Feast Day falls on 25 May. Bede is commemorated as a “Father of
Learning”. These words are the text of the magnificent memorial that adorns the
east wall of the Galilee Chapel of the Shrine of St Bede in Durham Cathedral.
They come from Bede’s commentary on the Book of Revelation, probably written
sometime after the year 710. Bede is reflecting on the concluding words of
Revelation Chapter Two (verse 28) “To the one who conquers I will give the
morning star”. Bede transfigures the words of the Book of Revelation for he
interprets the text recognising that “Christ is the morning star”.
[ii] Queen Elizabeth I

[iii] Sir Winston
Churchill (1874-1965)
[iv] Walter Bagehot:

under Oliver Cromwell
[viii] In August 2019 Mr
Boris Johnson MP, Leader of the Conservative Party, prorogued Parliament. In
September 2019 the Supreme Court ruled, unanimously, that the prorogation of
Parliament was illegal. It was immediately recalled. The contention is that Mr
Johnson had lied to the Sovereign. In so doing he compromised the political
neutrality of the constitutional Head of State.
[ix] Following the
Murder of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury in 1170, King Henry II of
England performed public penance in Canterbury in July 1174. Having travelled from London to Canterbury,
tradition has it that King Henry crawled on his knees from the Parish Church of
St Dunstan, outside the gate of the City Wall, to Canterbury Cathedral.
[x] Regicide: the
death of Kings. John Milton was a Republican supporter of the discussion that
led, in 1649, to the Execution of King Charles I.
