I was recently a guest on the Lore of the Rings podcast - that's L-O-R-E - where I joined host Aaron to discuss the ways in which Lord of the Rings is a "fundamentally religous work".We uncovered:- The grace Faramir says before sharing a meal with Frodo and Sam.- The liturgical significance of March 25 — the day the One Ring was destroyed.- The mysterious Three Prayers of Númenor, preserved in Unfinished Tales.- Why Tolkien preferred absorbed symbolism over overt allegory.I wanted to share a portion of this interview on The Tolkien Road's podcast feed, but you really need to go check out the whole thing over on Aaron's feed.Listen to the whole episode: https://www.ringspodcast.com/190-why-and-how-the-lord-of-the-rings-is-a-religious-and-catholic-work/Enjoy!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-r
