medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
From: Rosemary Hayes-Milligan and Andrew
>As we raised our parish banner, and momentarily lost one
of the children belonging to our party, I realised, for the first time, how
very useful standards must have been when thousands were gathered for battle
(or other reasons) without the aid of mobile phones to find each other.
in most depictions of processions, above the reliquary being carried, is
almost always an umbrella.
not to shield it from the sun/rain, but rather to let everybody know where the
Main Event was in the procession.
