Spend the day at London's National Gallery revising the Saints and their attributes and how these relate to the key stories they are associated with. Whose attribute is the rack and whose the sword? What is the difference between a round and a square halo?
Never mix up your Agnes and your Magdalene again! The day will also focus on Mary Magdalene and the fascinating confusion behind her portrayal. (Also learn a tried and tested formula for remembering the Evangelists' symbols....)
