Wikipedia Trails: Pilate to Antigonus

Pilate
I started with Pilate since he was part of a story I read this week and he was a mystery to me. There is a lot of information on him and his place in religious stories.
Pilate Stone
The stone was interesting to me because it actually mentions Pilate. His name is written on the stone and ancient artifacts like that are amazing to me because the fact that it is still around and that we know so much information about this time so long ago.
Herod the Great
He was leader from this time period. He also appears in christian stories. Again, there is a lot of information on him and his place in history.
Antigonus II Mattathias
I clicked on this because the name Antigonus seemed familiar to me. He was not, but it turned out to be a really interesting article about a King of the time. It is so interesting to me how history and mythology intertwine.

I just decided to do nursing last August (hence the extra semester of undergrad to get my prereqs in) and so I am a little late to that game. I have always k...

Dealings of Gold

I was minding my own business one day, as I always do, and then I heard the saddest noise. It was a girl crying so I followed the sound to the castle. There I found the most beautiful woman. She told me of the predicament she found herself in. It seems that there was a misunderstanding between her and her mother.             It all began with a slip of a few words, which led her to believe she could eat the five pies her mother had just baked. It was a simple confusion, but of course, her mother was angry. To taunt her about the mistake she began to sing a song about it, but it also so happen that the king was walking by that day and heard the mother’s song. The mother was embarrassed that her daughter had been so thoughtless and ate all five pies, so when asked about the song, the mother said that it was about her daughter sewing five gold strings. The king was so impressed that he married the mother on the condit...
