St HUGH of LINCOLN
17th November
In the Middle Ages, bishops were very important people. They were not only men of the church but also involved in running the country. They lived in great palaces and did not have much to do with ordinary people.
Bishop Hugh of Lincoln was different. He became known and loved for his charity to the poor; he cared for lepers and even risked his own life to prevent the killing of Jewish people during riots.
The Bishop rebuilt Lincoln Cathedral after it was destroyed by a great earthquake in 1185, but to him people were always more important than all the carved stones.
If you go to Lincoln, look out for the pictures of swans because St. Hugh is usually shown with a swan. He had a pet swan which guarded him while he was asleep.

He built a great ark! And so
Churchgoers are knowers of Noah!
