HIC SUNT IN FOSSA BEDAE VENERABILIS OSSA: here in his tomb are the bones of the venerable Bede




Durham Cathedral: Taken from the Venerable Bede’s Commentary on Revelation: 


Christus est stella matutina, 
Qui nocte saeculi transacta, 
Lucem vitae sanctis promittit,
Et pandit aeternam,


Christ is the morning star
Who when the night
Of this world is past
Brings to his saints
The promise of
The light of life
& opens everlasting day.
