In the final episode of this season, Mel explores representations of queerness in medieval spirituality, exploring the lives of LGBTQ+ monks, nuns, and saints. We begin with a journey to an isolated, ruined island priory and uncover intimate descriptions of same-gender love and intimacy in early Christianity, as well as non-gender conforming figures. We celebrate the vibrant thread of queerness throughout early Christian history, showcasing various examples of relationships and identities that challenge modern perceptions of sexuality and spirituality.
