Those interested in sending Christmas Cards with a medieval theme might want to contact Bangor University. The Bangor Pontifical Project and Bangor Cathedral are selling the cards, which show a miniature of a bishop consecrating a church, and the decorated opening page of a special Mass celebrated during the Christmas season.

The Book once belonged to Anian II, Bishop of Bangor between 1309 and 1328.
