Bede icon progress 3

Icon by Br. Kenneth Holsey, OCP, of the great historian St. Bede, with Saints Hilda and Cuthbert. Bede was the first scholarly historian to document and interpret events, as opposed to royal chroniclers who kept official records. Bede’s Ecclesiastical History of England covers the period 597-731 and remains a primary source even today. He also wrote Scripture commentaries and translated the Gospel of John.
