The founding story of the Abbey of St Mary and St Ecgwine (Evesham Abbey) centres on a personal appearance by the Virgin Mary. The Abbey’s continuing prosperity had much to do with the popularity of the cult of the Virgin Mary. This evening’s lecture will examine the nature of the cult and we will attempt to answer the question: “Did the Virgin Mary found Evesham Abbey?”.
The lecture will be delivered in person at the Baptist Community Centre in Offenham, as well as remotely (by Zoom) for those who are unable to travel.
Location: Evesham Baptist Church, Offenham Rd, Evesham WR11 3DY
Joining by zoom is available. Please book as normal but email to let us know you intend to join via Zoom on: jsnowden2000@gmail.com
