The Middle Ages (19) : Monk
This series is an attempt to illustrate how life was going on in the Middle Ages.
The shot shows a monk, who usually had a good and peaceful life.
Wearing the skull of an animal was believed to be effective in protection from the ‘Black Death’ or bubonic plague.
It seems this monk here had a stronger belief in superstition then faith in his God !
Photographed at medieval festival of castle Franchimont (Belgium).

Another great image in your Middle Ages series, Mark ... he definetely looks like I would imagine a friar: rotund .... and interesting that he would need more than God to protect him.cheers, Adele

Tolle Serie Mark. Bei diesem hier muss ich doch etwas lächeln. Ihm scheint es wirklich gut zu gehen, wenn man seine Fülle anschaut und was den Glauben oder das Vertrauen in Gott anbelangt, hast Du wohl auch recht.Lieben Gruss und alles Gute für Dich von Christa
