Lectionary Tales for the Pulpit
Series VI, Cycle B
There is a 2,000-year-old story that may or may not be apocryphal. It took place when much of the world was unknown and largely unmapped. Cartographers had to have some way of portraying those areas of the earth that were as yet unexplored, so they symbolized these regions by dragons, monsters, and large fish. The message was clear. Uncharted territories were frightening, fearsome places. Terrors lay buried there.
