EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the annals of history, St. Augustine, the revered missionary sent by Pope Gregory I on a Christian mission to England in 597 A.D., stands before King Ethelbert and his consort, Bertha. The Saxon rulers of Kent are depicted in regal attire, seated on their thrones, as Augustine, with a humble and determined expression, addresses them. The year is 597, and Christianity is on the brink of making a significant impact on the pagan Anglo-Saxon society. Pope Gregory, also known as "the Great," had sent Augustine and a small group of monks to England with the express purpose of spreading the teachings of Christianity among the Saxon people. King Ethelbert, a wise and open-minded ruler, had heard of the new faith and was intrigued. He welcomed Augustine and his companions with warmth and curiosity, allowing them to establish a monastery in Canterbury. Over time, Ethelbert and his queen, Bertha, who was herself a Frankish princess and a practicing Christian, became interested in the faith. In this moment, Augustine, with the support of King Ethelbert and Queen Bertha, is on the cusp of a successful conversion. The image captures the intensity and significance of this historical encounter, as the missionary, with unwavering conviction, shares the message of Christianity with the Saxon rulers, who, with open minds and hearts, listen intently. This powerful image is a testament to the enduring influence of religious figures and the transformative power of faith. It is a reminder of the pivotal role that individuals like Augustine, Ethelbert, and Bertha played in shaping the religious and cultural landscape of Europe.
