Welcome to Ancient & New!

Hi, I’m Rebecca Wade. I am passionate about education and all things classical, and believe that anything of lasting value is both ancient and new

I came to love Thee late, O Beauty so ancient yet so new. – St. Augustine

For some reason, I love this quote by St. Augustine, who was referring with joy to his discovery of Christ late in his life (at the age of 33 or so!). He referred to Christ as Beauty personified. I don’t think we in this modern era think of Christ in terms of beauty, and I love his connection of Christ to beauty. It also reminds me of the medieval trinity of truth, beauty, and goodness, none of which can exist without the other two.
