Why We Chase The Steeple

On this episode we explore Salisbury Cathedral home to one of the copies of the Magna Carta and the tombs of St Osmund and William Longspée. Join us in our discussion of relics, moving churches, and as the title explains... very little about the Magna Carta.

Following an almost two year hiatus this revival episode covers three papal basilicas - Santa Maria Maggiore, St John Lateran, and St Paul-Outisde-the-Walls. Tune in for a discussion on miracles, baroque statues, heads encased in silver, as well as an exploration of similarities between Roman and Christian cultures.

In this episode we discuss the Duomo in Milan, delving into the history of holy nails and Renaissance statues.

On this inaugural episode we dive into the history of St. Mary’s Cathedral in Valencia and discuss the theories behind its most famous relic.
