I recently lectured on "Beowulf," and it made me think of this photo I've always loved. This is the door of an Icelandic church dating from the 12th century A.D. The Icelandic people, who were Viking immigrants from Norway were an oral culture, so they taught many stories through song, poetry, and art. Items such as this door are very emblematic of its contemporary era of history and can teach yes a lot. #cwirionphotography #KeepExploring #teaching #history #teach #Ancient #Medieval #Art #Vikings #Iceland #IcelandicLiterature #Beowulf #woodcarvings #churches #ChurchDoor #TagsForLikes.COM #TFLers @TagsForLikes #churches #TwelfthCentury #Pittsburgh #CarnegieMuseum #Germanic by cwirionphotography
