St Mary's Abbey, Melrose is a partly ruined monastery of the Cistercian order in Melrose, Roxburghshire, in the Scottish Borders. It was founded in 1136 by Cistercian monks on the request of King David I of Scotland, and was the chief house of that order in the country until the Reformation. It was headed by the Abbot or Commendator of Melrose. Today the abbey is maintained by Historic Scotland.
The east end of the abbey was completed in 1146. Other buildings in the complex were added over the next 50 years. The abbey was built in the Gothic manner, and in the form of a St. John's cross. A considerable portion of the abbey is now in ruins. A structure dating from 1590 is maintained as a museum open to the public.
Alexander II and other Scottish kings and nobles are buried at the abbey. A lead container believed to hold the embalmed heart of Robert the Bruce was found in 1921 below the Chapter House site; it was found again in a 1998 excavation. This was documented in records of his death. The rest of his body is buried in Dunfermline Abbey.
The abbey is known for its many carved decorative details, including likenesses of saints, dragons, gargoyles and plants. On one of the abbey's stairways is an inscription by John Morow, a master mason, which says, Be halde to ye hende ("Keep in mind, the end, your salvation"). This has become the motto of the town of Melrose.

This is one of the wood carvings I created some years back from a 3 inch wooden bell. When I saw today's topic I wanted to share this with my flickr friends, especially given the time of year. There is a wonderful song by Elevation Worship, some of the lyrics are shared below.
In the midst of the darkness,
Your light, it guides me through.
Our eyes are on You.
You are near to the broken,
Though we find the strength in You.
Our eyes are on You.
When I'm lost in the madness,
Your peace, it calms my soul.
Our eyes are on You.
You bring hope to the hopeless,
Your love, it wont let go.
Our eyes are on You.
We lift our eyes to You,
Where our help comes from.
Our love is found in You,
Jesus, Lord of all.
We lift our eyes to You,
Exalted One, Exalted One.

The African Women Leaders Network (AWLN) has created a new national chapter in Kenya to bolster advocacy around key issues affecting women and girls in a strategic and innovative manner.
Kenya joins 20 other countries to launch a national chapter in line with continental commitment’s for gender equality and women’s empowerment, an initiative spearheaded by the African Union (AU), the Federal Republic of Germany and UN Women. The network is an action-oriented movement of African women leaders to transform sustainable peace, security and development issues in the continent.
The event was attended by a cross-section of civil society organisations, development partners, and Government of Kenya representatives including the Ministry of Public Service and Gender (MPSYG) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. MPSYG Cabinet Secretary, Prof. Margaret Kobia welcomed the Kenyan chapter’s creation as an accelerator for women’s rights:
“The launch [will] enjoin women leaders in the country to the women leaders’ platform in Africa for transformative change at both country and regional level; and in particular, inform and create urgency towards securing Generation Equality. If we do not do this now, it will take close to 200 years to achieve equality.”
The launch is timely as global development conversations begin to converge on gender. 2020 marks the 25th anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action for advancing women’s rights, the 20th Anniversary of UNSCR1325 as well as the five-year milestone for the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Against this backdrop, AWLN will focus efforts on priorities at the heart of the women’s empowerment movement. This means extending beyond leadership issues and navigating the country’s efforts in combating gender-based violence, promoting the role of women in conflict prevention, resolution and peacebuilding and securing economic empowerment.

Hidden and slowly decaying amongst beautiful gardens is St Gerard’s Orthopaedic Hospital. It was also used for the treatment of TB. Along the side of the wards are barn doors that would open and let the air in. It closed in 1988, and yet the leg braces, salt bath and letters from Mother Superior are left behind.
