The Sunday After Christmas Day and Feast of Thomas Becket

~ Philosophical Haligonian

Merry Christmas to all, this fifth day of Christmas and the Sunday after Christmas Day.

Today is also the feast day of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, murdered in Canterbury Cathedral by a group of rogue knights in 1170, 850 years ago.

The 1964 film, Becket, starring Richard Burton and Peter o’Toole, is among many interpretations of the drama of Thomas Becket. I consider it one of my favourite Christmas season films: https://youtu.be/GFQi8tD-NeU
