    For #TombTuesday, the Ursulakapelle in Michaelskirche, Munich, resting place of several purported pieces of saints. Closeup of the bone of St. Constantia(?) in the central display case. If saints or medieval history are your thing, consider taking my course, &quot;Relics in Antiquity &amp; the Middle Ages,&quot; July 23-August 27, where we talk about the origins of relic veneration and the powers they were believed to possess. Feel free to DM with any questions! https://kentnavalesi.neocities...

    I&amp;#39;m disappointed that there aren&amp;#39;t more people interested in the #fediverse simply because of what it is, as opposed to what &amp;quot;experience&amp;quot; it currently offers. I dunno, I just find it inherently interesting that all of this is run by regular people free from the malignant influence of Big Tech. 🤷‍♂️ I understand that people have their needs and communities, but it&amp;#39;s the blank stares at the prospect of digital freedom that I don&amp;#39;t understand. #Soci...

    First #gardening post of the season. Some seedlings are coming along, others not. Obviously I didn&amp;#39;t trust some of the tomato seeds. What was to be our Fall kale survived under a collapsed tunnel and 7 inches of snow to become our Spring kale. @gardening #Garten #growyourown #degrowth

    RE: https://mstdn.social/@KentNavalesi/115668014975730148 Finished up the Relics class yesterday with an excellent discussion of early Protestant critiques of relic veneration! It was great to spend some time each week talking about such a fascinating topic with such engaged students. If ancient/medieval religions interest you, sign up at my course site below to be notified of the next Relics class! https://kentnavalesi.neocities.org/RelicsHome @medievodons @histodons #religion #medievodon...
