My wife and I both are suffering from colds this last week. In addition to coughing and sneezing, I sound like a sick bullfrog. So there won’t be any new videos or podcasts this week.

Episode Eight is illustrated with two watercolor and charcoal drawings by James Tissot, from his Life of Christ series at the Brooklyn Museum; two statues from the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the Vatican, carved by two of Italy’s most celebrated artists in the early 18th Century; and a remarkable drawing of the death of St. James from the Menalogion of Basil II from the Vatican archives, based on the original work made in Constantinople around 1000 A.D. According to tradition, St. James was beaten to death with a Fuller’s Rod.
