The Norse Hagiography Network has now arrived at Bluesky, just in time for the feast of the three holy kings. We look forward to connecting with fellow enthusiasts, & to provide informative insights into the Nordic medieval cult of saints.

Detail from a thirteenth-century wooden ciborium, with scenes from the Nativity story. On the left-hand side is the Nativity with Mary lying in bed and attended by a maid, with Joseph sitting at the foot end. Beside the bed is the swaddled Christ-child in a manger, with an ox and an ass inspecting. Above the scene is a drawn curtain with a lamp hanging from its midpoint. On the right-hand side we see Mary enthroned and crowned, with the Christ-child on her left knee. From the right comes an angel holding a thurifer, and on the ground are two of the three holy kings bearing gifts.

Call for NECRON Board Members We are delighted that so many of you could make it to our workshop in Oslo in October, whether in person or online. NECRON is a peer-organised network that lives on community engagement, and we are very happy that some of you who attended expressed interest in joining the committee for the coming two years. However, we know that not everyone could make it to the workshop, and we'd like to give everyone the chance to sign up. If you are a PhD student or postdoc-level ECR and are interested in joining the NECRON board for 2025–2027, let us know! Drop us an informal email by January 15th with a few lines about yourself (affiliation, position, research interests) and about why you're interested in running NECRON.
