Julian's Cell: An Earthy Story of Julian of Norwich
Acerca de este libro electrónico
to imagine Julian of Norwich's life as it could have been. This is the
earthy story of "Katherine" – daughter of a stern and bitter mother.
Married at age 16 to Walter, she loses both her children and her husband
during the great plagues. She has visions of the passion of Christ and
becomes an anchorite – she is "buried alive" in a cell attached to St.
Julian's church to lead a life devoted to prayer and spiritual counsel.
Today she is known as Mother Julian, or Julian of Norwich, the first
woman to write in the English language, and one of the greatest
Christian theologians and mystics of all time.
