Saturday I took the train from Lincoln to Cambridge. Yesterday I worshipped with Cambridge Presbyterian Church and today I worked at the Wren as long as I could stand the cold. The temperature inside was 59 degrees and after about 4 hours, I was FROZEN! So, I went to get some lunch and HOT coffee! As I left the Copper Kettle, I snapped this photo of the beautiful winter sky over King's College.
Last week I took this photo of the Round Church. This Round Church, as everyone calls it now, was built in 1130 AD by the 'Fraternity of the Holy Sepulchre' and was known as the Church of the Holy Sepluchre. The 'Fraternity' consisted of Austin Canons and crusaders who were returning from the first crusade to the Holy Land. They had seen the Church of the Holy Sepulchre built by the Roman Emperor Constantine and his mother Helena.
The church is currently ministered by Christian Heritage. It has a copy of the Canterbury Gospels, the oldest illustrated Bible manuscript in the world. It also has exhibits of the Christian heritage of Cambridge. I hope to go see it tomorrow. Last week when I took this photo, I tried to see it but it was closed.
I took this photo of beautiful St. Catherine's College last Monday as I walked 'home' from a day in the library.
