Whilst at primary school Richard was pulled up by his teacher for drawing Jesus wearing jeans and playing football. Stunned at his historical inaccuracy he has sought to right the wrongs and learn about the Saints of the Christian Church. "Saints don't wear Jeans," scoffed the teacher but now Carlo Acutis has been canonized Richard wonders if he was simply a visionary? Richard III isn't a Saint but Henry VI nearly made it! A fascinating journey pulling up some of the more unusual elements of more than 20 Saints this promises to be an opportunity to explore faith with a light hearted twist.
