The Epilogue: Christians in China

on BBC Television

View in Radio Times

Chinese workmen, pulling down an ancient city wall, found in its foundations a Latin gravestone with carved pictures of the Virgin and Child, and of St. Catherine. It comes from the time of Marco Polo, and was set up by a fellow-countryman of his.
John Foster, Professor of Ecclesiastical History in the University of Glasgow, introduces you to this unexpected find and discusses how it adds to knowledge of Christians in China six hundred years ago.
