medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Dear List Members, (My apologies for an earlier incomplete version of this message!) My name is Michelle Ryan and I am pursuing a Masters degree in Theology at St. Patrick's College, Maynooth. I an currently researching a group of Irish carols entitled 'The Kilmore Carols' which were composed in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. One particular carol, that for St. John's Day, refers to John being twenty years old at the time of Christ's death and also to his having taken care of the Virgin Mary for fifteen years afterwards. I am wondering where this tradition comes from and would be grateful if any of you could shed some light on it. Best wishes, Michelle Ryan ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
