🌫️ If you walked into a medieval city, you wouldn’t see it first…

🚫 No sewers.
🐖 Animals in the streets.
🌊 Rivers used for everything.

🏰 Bad smells weren’t a problem — they were everyday life.

👤 Others were paid to walk straight inside infected homes.

⚕️ Plague doctors weren’t heroes or villains —
just people facing something no one understood.

Ever wondered what Christmas was REALLY like in the Middle Ages?

From wild feasts and the Lord of Misrule…
to candlelit vigils, Viking Yule traditions, and surprising pagan influences —
this is the Christmas history you were never taught in school.

I travelled through medieval England, Scandinavia, Italy, the Byzantine Empire, Egypt and Ethiopia to uncover how people actually celebrated this holiday 800+ years ago.
And trust me… it was very different from what we do today.

💬 Question for you:
Which medieval Christmas tradition would YOU bring back?
The Twelve Days? The feasts? The Yule log?
Or maybe… the chaos of the Lord of Misrule? 😅

Step back with me into Ancient Athens — not the idealised myth, but the real city lived in by citizens, metics, and enslaved workers.
Today’s new episode takes you through a full day in the city: from the busy Agora and pottery districts to the gymnasia, shrines, and the rising moon over the Acropolis.

If you enjoy calm, atmospheric storytelling, this one’s made for you.
Grab a warm drink, get comfortable, and let’s wander the ancient streets together. 🏛️✨
