Better late than never? We had internet and phone problems for nearly a week so I wasn't able to do this over the weekend. Well, here goes... In Tapestry of Grace (Year 2) Week 2 we covered The Byzantine Empire and the Eastern Orthodox Church. Here are a few pictures from the week- Teshome's project- a Triptych, which was a picture made in three sections and used in churches or as a religious alterpiece. His is a picture of (saint) Patrick praying. Maddie's triptych- some monks (and a smiling sun). Kate's favorite story of the week was about the Lombards, a cruel and vicious German tribe and the last to find a settlement within the Eastern Empire. She wrote, "It was said that a Lombard king once killed his enemy then lined his skull with gold and made his wife drink out of it. His wife was the daughter of the enemy her husband had killed. She was so angry and grieved that she had a man murder her husband." And why was this Kate's favorite? (yikes.) She says it was one of the only things she found exciting in that book (The Story of the Middle Ages). Okay then, yes, there's much gore and blood in the Middle Ages.
