10th March 2015 is the 400th anniversary of the death by hanging of Scotland's only post-Reformation saint, John Ogilvie. St. Thomas' Church, Keith, have produced a book about St. John Ogilvie. He was born at Keith, and died in Glasgow. He had a short life, full of intrigue and mystery, as it was illegal to be a priest in those days, and he often travelled around in disguise. This book tells all that is known of his life and work, and is inspiring and informative.
"This exhibition charts the progress of the long, painful but exciting process of working towards the painting of St. John Ogilvie which now hangs in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel of St. Andrew's Cathedral."--Page 2.

First Published in 1996. A comprehensive reference guide to saints, popes, martyrs, orders, heresies, schisms and religious movements and practices, the Dictionary of Christianity is an alphabetically-arranged volume of essential facts about Christianity and the Christian church. It includes: accounts of the lives of theologians, philosophers, and reformers whose works influenced the development of Christianity; biblical statistics and information about the chief editions of the Bible; the lives of saints, including their feast days; and details about offices and vestments, rituals and festivals. In recent years there has been an upsurge in ecumenical movements, and increased communication between Eastern and Western Catholics and Protestants. There has also been an increase in the membership of the Eastern Church in Western countries and, with the fall of Communism in Russia, a revival of the Russian Orthodox Church. In responseto this phenomena, the Dictionary of Christianity covers all the main branches of the Christian church. It will be an invaluable reference for all students of religion.
