Saint Humbert of Elmham | A Hidden Bishop in a Time of Vikings | Catechism for Kids (November 20th)

Описание: Have you ever heard of a saint whose story is almost completely lost to history — but whose faith still shines quietly through the centuries? 🌿✨
In this episode of Catechism for Kids, we explore the life of Saint Humbert of Elmham, also known as Hunberht, a medieval bishop in East Anglia during the turbulent era of Viking invasions.

Saint Humbert served the Church faithfully in the same region and time connected with Saint Edmund the Martyr. Sadly, many details about his life were destroyed when Viking raids devastated monasteries, churches, and records. But even though history remembers only fragments of his life, the Church honours him as a bishop who stood firm in faith during dangerous times.

His story reminds children (and adults!) that God sees every act of faithfulness — even the ones the world forgets.

📖 Topics we’ll cover:

Who Saint Humbert of Elmham was

The role of bishops in early medieval England

How Viking invasions destroyed many historical records

His connection to Saint Edmund the Martyr

Why hidden saints still matter deeply

What kids can learn from quiet, humble holiness

💡 Lesson: Even when no one writes down your story, God remembers every moment you choose love, courage, and faith — just like Saint Humbert. 🕊️💛
