EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the defiant spirit of the Scottish people during the religious tensions of the 1630s. The photograph depicts Jenny Geddes, a market-trader from Edinburgh, as she rises against the imposition of the Scottish Episcopal Book of Common Prayer by King Charles I and Archbishop Laud. The incident occurred on a Sunday in July 1637, at St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh. Geddes, who is believed to have cried, "Devil cause you colic in your stomach, false thief: dare you say the Mass in my ear?" as she threw her stool at the Minister, or Arch-Prelate of St. Andrews, in disgust. The congregation, feeling oppressed by the imposition of the English Prayer Book, had reached a breaking point. The photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online and captured by Tom Gillmor, transports us back to this pivotal moment in Scottish history. The image of Geddes, with her determined expression and raised arm, has become a symbol of the Scottish people's resistance to external religious and political control. The scene inside St. Giles Cathedral, with the congregation standing up to the Minister, is a powerful reminder of the courage and resilience of those who refused to accept the imposition of the English Prayer Book on their faith and traditions.
