I
am teaching an evening class on St Magnus of Orkney – the ideal way to get to
know our local saint during this novocentenary year of his martyrdom!
The
course starts on Tuesday 2
May, and runs for eight weeks. To book, phone Customer Services

The hymn to St Magnus, Nobilis humilis
From
the Community Learning Spring Programme:
B167:
St Magnus of Orkney
As
we commemorate the 900th anniversary of his martyrdom, this course looks at the
background, life, death and legacy of St Magnus of Orkney. Drawing on history,
art, music, archaeology and literature, we will explore how the 12th century Saint
has continued to intrigue and inspire both here and further afield. This is
another chance to take this course, which was oversubscribed in Autumn 2017.
