Carving in Rosslyn Chapel

Forte est vinu. Fortior est rex. Fortiores sunt mulieres: sup om vincit veritas.

Wine is strong. The king is stronger. Women are stronger still, but truth conquers all. (Book of Esdras)

Visited Rosslyn Chapel this afternoon. (Now all the Da Vinci Code nuts will visit my blog!)

Well, the guidebook said "Book of Edras". You're the theologian - isn't it Biblical?

Sorry, typo. Should have been "Esdras" - an apocryphal version of Ezra. I've corrected it now, so that these comments no longer make sense.
