Sanctity

Profoundly influencing history from the birth of Christianity through the early Reformation to the World Wars of the 20th Century, Mary Magdalene, Joan of Arc and Sophie Scholl illuminate Jesus Christ to us through their relationships with Him.

Each consequently faced dehumanising abuse and trauma, yet responded with extraordinary grace, truth and courage.

Their stories transcend time, carving deep impressions of transforming faith into the saga of violence and coercion that has shaped so much of our shared history.
