Julian of Norwich

Firstly, I found out that we don't know for sure if her name was actually Julian--the church was named Julian first. In the Catholic Encyclopedia, they call her Juliana. Also, I learned that she is not only venerated in the RCC, but also in the Anglican Communion and the ELCA. That would explain why people keep making me read Revelations of a Divine Love ALL THE TIME. Her feast day in the Lutheran Church is May 8. I did not know that the Lutheran Church had feast days. If they're going to be exactly the same as the RCC, why break away at all? (Yes, I know the reasons behind the Reformation--they made me read Luther all the time too.)

Also, being an anchorite/anchoress in the Middle Ages is creepy. You'd live in a little cell attached to a church, and the bishop would wall up the door. Kind of like in "The Cask of Amontillado", except you don't die immediately. Or "The Black Cat", except you aren't dead.

The Church of St. Julian in Norwich is named after Julian the Hospitaller, AKA St. Julian the Poor. I don't know when it was built, but it was obviously there during the 14th century, when Julian was writing. It was destroyed during WW2, but has been restored.
