In case any of you are in or around this area next week, I wanted you to be aware of a guest speaker the Nordic Program is bringing in (on the initiative of Mathias Nordvig): Luke Murphy from the University of Leicester (U.K.) will be presenting on his research into the roots of Easter customs and iconography in northwestern Europe. This promises to be a compelling talk; it'll be on the University of Colorado campus on Tuesday, April 16th, 5:00 p.m. Mountain time in Hellems hall, room 211.

Note for North Americans: Leicester is pronounced 'Lester' not 'Lie-cester' :]

Any chance I will be recorded and uploaded for all of us farlanders? 😉

It's easier when you remember that all those "-cester" names (Leicester, Worcester, Gloucester, etc.) are generally pronounced as if there was a syllabic break in-between the "-ce" and the "ster". So don't read it as "Lei-cester" -- instead, read it as "Leice-ster", and you'll get much closer to the actual pronunciation.

I tell you what, that is a remarkably helpful way to think about. Hopefully he'll be impressed.

Good insight Kestrel. I remember being pretty fascinated as a youngster when I heard that -cester in all those place names, as well as -chester in Manchester and ..err, Chester - comes from the Roman term for military camp or fort ('castrum' for those unaware)
