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.
