The Arrow's Path

In my last post, I posted some pictures of the Roman ruins outside St. Albans. Here is the beautiful Rose Window from inside St. Albans that I have been meaning to post. The concentric circles are supposed to subtly represent Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water. There is also some other symbolism like the 12 disciples or something, but I never could see it and forget now what the tourguide said.

It is sort of an odd feeling to come upon Roman ruins, as you usually don't think about the Romans being in Britain. These pictures are from the Roman ruins around St. Albans Cathedral, which coincidentally I learned from Roger, who was visiting Westcott yesterday, that he was ordained there. My Seaburian readers remember know Roger. The Roman wall behind me is still pretty much intact. Romans were good at building things that lasted. Here's what the signpost said. It tells more than I could about these particular ruins.
