THOMAS A BECKET (1118-1170) - An Emblem of Faith and Devotion in the Middle Ages
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases an exquisite engraving of a pin bearing the attributes of Saint Thomas, worn by pilgrims on their sacred journey to Canterbury during the medieval era. The image transports us back to the 12th century, where English prelate Thomas Becket held great significance as Archbishop and martyr. The pin itself is a testament to the unwavering faith and reverence that characterized this period. Intricately designed with symbols representing Saint Thomas, it served as both a physical memento and a spiritual talisman for those embarking on pilgrimage. These men sought solace, redemption, or simply desired to pay homage to one of England's most venerated saints. Thomas Becket's legacy resonates even today within Catholic tradition. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving, we are reminded of his courage in defending church rights against King Henry II's encroachments – ultimately leading to his tragic assassination within Canterbury Cathedral. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully captured this historical artifact from The Granger Collection. This evocative photograph invites us into an era when religious devotion was fervent and tangible objects like these pins carried deep meaning for believers. It serves as a poignant reminder of our collective human quest for spirituality throughout history.
