| 20-11-2000 | Feast Day of Edmund, from Old English, 'rich guardian'. St Edmund is largely forgotten now, except in the town of Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, where he is buried. But Edmund, King of the Angles and martyr, was once one of the greatest English saints and his shrine one of the richest in medieval Europe. The story of his martyrdom varies, but the best telling of it is by Julian Tennyson (Suffolk Scene, Alistair Press, 1987), one of Edmund's countrymen in our own century. The bare bones of it is that Edmund, the boy King, tried to defend his country from marauding Danes and was captured. Refusing to compromise his faith or the well-being of his people, Edmund was shot through with arrows in 870. The Danes then cut off his head and threw it away, but a wolf guarded it until it was discovered and reunited with his body. |
