Saint’s Stories #9

SAINT JULIAN OF NORWICH

Though identified with a boys name, Julian probably wasn’t her real name but she took it from her church in Norwich.

Recapturing the Beauty of the Cross

I watched Bridge to Terabithia the other night because it only cost me a penny on Virgin OnDemand! It was a pretty cool film though obviously intended to appeal to the younger market as well. The storyline goes like this: you’ve got this boy called Jess who’s a bit of a supressed artist and is coping with his dad telling him to get his head out of the clouds and be realistic and practical in life. A girl, Leslie, moves in next door who’s the daughter of two creative writers and she helps Jess to recapture his creative imagination in a ficticious world they invent together.
