Celts settled in what is now Carcassonne, France around 3,500 B.C. It is located in southern France near the Pyrenees mountains. A double-walled city surrounds a palace and cathedral. In 1209 the French pope’s army made a crusade against its residents to root out those they considered to be heretics. Others say that the crusade was a land grab of fertile farm and grazing land.

As we contemplate the crucification and rising of Jesus Christ this Holy week may the images of this medieval cathedral give you a space for reflection and hope.
