A reader has reminded me that today is the date St. Thomas More was actually martyred, even though we celebrate his feast on the 22nd of June. I thought I'd observe the anniversary of his martyrdom with pictures .

I love the hat! Who owns it now?
ReplyDeleteNot me! :((((((((((((((
ReplyDeleteThe pics are all linked to their sources. This hat is owned by the Jesuit College of Stonyhurst, which possesses many second-class relics of the saint. According to Catholic Encyclopedia, most of these came from his last male heir, Fr. Thomas More, S.J.
Forgot to add: Fr. Thomas More, S.J. died in 1795.
