Benedictines in Bath by Giles Mercer
12 December 2024 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
The Benedictine order, also known as the Order of Saint Benedict, is a Catholic religious order founded in the 6th century by Saint Benedict of Nursia. The order has had a lasting impact on European history, particularly in the preservation of knowledge, education, and the development of monastic communities. The talk will explain the essence of monasticism, outlining its development and the role of Bath Abbey and the south-western monasteries during their long history.
