Ely Cathedral's Womanist Beginnings

Pictured below is the labyrinth at the entrance to Ely Cathedral. As the Friday book group knows, from their reading of Sue Monk Kidd's Dance of the Dissident Daughter there is an Ariadne connection here. The first relgious house established at Ely was built by Queen Etheldred in the seventh century, she was abbess of the monastic house at this site.
