Poster print edition of the famous saying by Julian of Norwich, the 14th Century mystic and anchorite. Her ‘Revelations of Divine Love’ are the earliest surviving English language works known to be written by a woman.

In 1373, aged 30 and believing to be on her deathbed, Julian received a series of visions or 'shewings' of the Passion of Christ. Julian lived in permanent seclusion as an anchoress in her cell, which was attached to St Julian's Church, Norwich. The most well known message present within the texts is a reassurance from Jesus on the existence of sin in the world:

‘It was necessary that there should be sin; but all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.'
The overarching message is that with love, everything will turn out alright in the end.

Julian is also depicted in the linocut of The Anchoress, also available as a limited edition.
