The Psalter of the Quatrains - From the Flood to the Friend of God
Thursday, July 16, 2026 41 mins
Dcn. Seraphim continues his reading of the Saltair na Rann from the Flood to Abraham, the friend of God. Somewhere in the middle of all of this, the poet pauses to recount the years up to his own time, fixing his own year to A.D. 988. Around that window into the poet's own day runs the great chronology of the ages of the world, and then Noah and the ark and the dove, the division of the earth among the nations, Nimrod the hunter and the tower of Babel, and at last the call of Abraham and the three mysterious visitors at the oak of Mamre. Music used: "Across The Fields Of Gold" Yagull Music - Sasha Branislav Markovic, Mayu Saeki

About
The Great Rood Screen is a podcast hosted by Deacon Seraphim Richard Rohlin about the Orthodox Catholic Saints and Faith of Britain and Ireland, told as those early faithful Christians told it, with piety and reverence. Join us for a year, along with other Orthodox scholars and clergy, as we walk through the calendar of the Insular Saints day by day, story by story, and discover the great cloud of witnesses who still adorn the rood screen of history and hagiography.
