Got the program proofs for the 50th annual #PCCBS. It was a total delight to design the program and I’m so excited to see everything finally coming together.

#OTD (Feb 28) in the year 1638: The Scottish National Covenant is signed in Edinburgh. #OTDIH #history 🗃️ #EarlyModern #17thc
National Covenant
The National Covenant was an agreement signed by many people of Scotland during 1638, opposing the proposed Laudian reforms of the Church of Scotland by King Charles I. The king's efforts to impose changes on the church in the 1630s caused widespread protests across Scotland, leading to the organisation of committees to coordinate opposition to the king. Facing royal opposition, its leaders arranged the creation of the National Covenant to bolster the movement by tapping into patriotic fervour. It became widely adopted throughout most of Scotland with supporters henceforth known as Covenanters.
