Today on #WomensEpics: Juliana

A 9th century Anglo-Saxon retelling of the legend of St. Juliana of Nicomedia. While it is a Christian legend, the Saxon storyteller retold it in the style of Beowulf, changing and coloring the story to fit the taste of the audience for evil villains and epic fights. At the high point of the story, Juliana wrestles the Devil and physically beats him into submission.

For #FindsFriday, we have some finds from the #cemetery of the #Elisabethinenspital in #Vienna. These were found during our 2019 #excavations on behalf of the #Franziskusspital. They are so-called #Breverl, paper pictures of #saints that were worn on the body, for example, in a #pendant made of metal and glass, to ward off #evil. The finds here date from the 18th century, but Breverl were widespread until the 20th century.

The picture shows a fragment of an old piece of paper that is partially covered with a broken glass plate. A Christian motif is depicted on the paper, which is still partially recognisable through the glass. The colour of the paper is greenish, which indicates a patina of a metal frame that is no longer preserved.
The picture shows a damaged, small, rectangular pendant made of green patinated bronze. Inside is a yellowed, damaged picture depicting the crowned Virgin Mary. The picture is in black and white and only shows indistinct outlines.
The image shows a damaged, rectangular bronze pendant containing a coloured, blue-green, paper inset. The inset contains a faded image, of a christian motif, probability virgin Mary. The details are indistinct due to age, damage, and poor preservation. The frame shows significant signs of corrosion and wear.

The #Saints are hiring #Eagles QBs coach Doug Nussmeier as their new offensive coordinator under coach Kellen Moore, per The Insiders.

The favorite all along, Nussmeier lands in New Orleans with a ring to help teach Moore’s version of the scheme. An important hire.
