Their ambitious project was to restore it to its neo-Romanesque state from the nineteenth century, when the cathedral was rebuilt by Paul Abadie, an architect from Angoulême who also designed the Sacré-Cœur in Paris. The DRAC and the clergy in charge of the project also agreed to assemble a selection from their collection of liturgical objects from this little-known art-historical period and put it on display to the public in the renovated building.

  • Practicing Love of God in Medieval Jerusalem, Gaul and Saxony
    he collection of essays presented in “Devotional Cross-Roads: Practicing Love of God in Medieval Gaul, Jerusalem, and Saxony” investigates test case witnesses of TChristian devotion and patronage from Late Antiquity to the Late Middle Ages, set in and between the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, as well as Gaul and the regions north of the Alps. Devotional practice and love of God refer to people – mostly from the lay and religious elite –, ideas, copies of texts, images, and material objects, such as relics and reliquaries. The wide geographic borders and time span are used here to illustrate a broad picture composed around questions of worship, identity, reli- gious affiliation and gender. Among the diversity of cases, the studies presented in this volume exemplify recurring themes, which occupied the Christian believer, such as the veneration of the Cross, translation of architecture, pilgrimage and patronage, emergence of iconography and devotional patterns. These essays are representing the research results of the project “Practicing Love of God: Comparing Women’s and Men’s Practice in Medieval Saxony” guided by the art historian Galit Noga-Banai, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the histori- an Hedwig Röckelein, Georg-August-University Göttingen. This project was running from 2013 to 2018 within the Niedersachsen-Israeli Program and financed by the State of Lower Saxony.

Rome School of Music Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in Sacred Music © All Rights Reserved By Jennifer L. Seighman Washington, D.C. 2015 Catholic Choir School Models in the United States: Reinvigorating the Musico-Liturgical Life of the Church Jennifer L. Seighman, D.M.A. Director: Leo Nestor, D.M.A. Choir schools have been an intrinsic part of the Catholic Church since the fourth century. While the Holy See has instructed that such schools and training be diligently promoted, few programs exist, and even less is known about them. This paper provides much-needed research on Catholic choir school programs and the benefits they offer to the twenty-first-century Church, particularly in bringing the musico-liturgical goals of the Second Vatican Council to fruition. Using a multi-case-study approach, I investigate the only known Catholic institutions in the United States currently employing a traditional choir school education of rigorous daily instruction in choir and sung liturgy: St. Paul’s Choir School (Cambridge, MA), The Madeleine Choir School (Salt Lake City, UT), and The Atonement Academy (San Antonio, TX). To formulate the framework for this study, a survey of related literature was made encompassing musico-liturgical directives of the Second Vatican Council, Church documents calling for chorister formation, papal writings, scholarly sources addressing sacred music within the Catholic Church, and various sets of education standards.

    True Cross of Our Lord Ex ligno crucis (wood from the Cross) “There they crucified him, and with him two others” John 19:18 The Cross on which Christ was Crucified was brought from the Holy Land to Rome by St. Helen, the mother of the Emperor Constantine in the Fourth Century. The largest remaining portions of it are in Santa Croce Church, in Rome. Due to scarcity, the Church no longer issues relics of the True Cross. This particular reliquary containing extraordinarily large portions of the True Cross was once given as a gift by the bishop of Limoges (France) to the bishop of Marseilles (France) at his Episcopal consecration (see official documentation on back). “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:2 Fragment of the Veil of the Blessed Virgin Mary De velo (from the Veil) Profile: Mother of Jesus. Spouse of the Holy Spirit. Betrothed of Saint Joseph. Born: unknown, perhaps 20BC; celebrated on 8 September. Died: unknown; assumed into heaven on a date unknown but celebrated each year on 15 August. Inside this reliquary is a piece of fabric taken from the Veil worn by the Blessed Virgin. Our Lady’s Veil has been venerated from the earliest centuries since she was assumed into Heaven. This particular portion was encased within this theca within the Vatican. It was given to this ministry to allow for world wide veneration.

  • Foxe's Book of Martyrs
    FOXE'S BOOK OF MARTYRS CHAPTER I - History of Christian Martyrs to the First General Persecutions Under Nero Christ our Savior, in the Gospel of St. Matthew, hearing the confession of Simon Peter, who, first of all other, openly acknowledged Him to be the Son of God, and perceiving the secret hand of His Father therein, called him (alluding to his name) a rock, upon which rock He would build His Church so strong that the gates of hell should not prevail against it. In which words three things are to be noted: First, that Christ will have a Church in this world. Secondly, that the same Church should mightily be impugned, not only by the world, but also by the uttermost strength and powers of all hell. And, thirdly, that the same Church, notwithstanding the uttermost of the devil and all his malice, should continue. Which prophecy of Christ we see wonderfully to be verified, insomuch that the whole course of the Church to this day may seem nothing else but a verifying of the said prophecy. First, that Christ hath set up a Church, needeth no declaration. Secondly, what force of princes, kings, monarchs, governors, and rulers of this world, with their subjects, publicly and privately, with all their strength and cunning, have bent themselves against this Church! And, thirdly, how the said Church, all this notwithstanding, hath yet endured and holden its own! What storms and tempests it hath overpast, wondrous it is to behold: for the more evident declaration whereof, I have addressed this present history, to the end, first, that the wonderful works of God in His Church might appear to His glory; also that, the continuance and proceedings of the Church, from time to time, being set forth, more knowledge and experience may redound thereby, to the profit of the reader and edification of Christian faith.

  • Collecting (And Display) Pierre Alain Mariaux
    A Companion to Medieval Art: Romanesque and Gothic in Northern Europe Edited by Conrad Rudolph Copyright © 2006 by Blackwell Publishing Ltd 10 Collecting (and Display) Pierre Alain Mariaux The history of collecting in the Middle Ages has only rarely been the subject of sustained research. There are of course publications on the history of museums and the original, though isolated, works of Kryzsztof Pomian. Generally speak- ing, however, the subject has remained a terra incognita where one may find a few discreet and repetitive hints about collections but without any critical basis to their study. One of the subjects regularly brought up is the collection of antique statues which the Bishop of Winchester, Henry of Blois, assembled on his journey to Rome between 1149 and 1150;1 another case is the clever display of some of the items belonging to the treasure of St Denis, after the Abbey was reconstructed by Abbot Suger; also often mentioned are the Crusaders in Con- stantinople, their greed mingled with wonder when they discovered the riches of the city and its churches, true emporia of relics.2 The secondary literature is full of similar accounts, dispersed within a multitude of monographs which should without any doubt be part of that history. Yet much material remains to be analyzed and synthesized. This chapter endeavors to suggest the initial steps toward this goal. Introduction Is it correct to talk of “collecting” in the Middle Ages? Admittedly, if we define the collection as an assembly of chosen objects (for their beauty, rarity, curious character, documentary value, or expense), no such thing existed during that period.

  • My Saints: "Personal" Relic Collections in Bohemia Before Emperor Charles IV1
    My Saints: "Personal" Relic Collections in Bohemia before Emperor Charles IV1 Katefina Horn icko vci Charles IV, the Holy Roman emperor and king of Bohemia (died 1378), is generally seen as a person, whose personal effort made Prague into an important 2 religious and pilgrimage centre of Central Europe. Since his retum to Bohemia from France in 1333, the scale of his collecting of and personal interest in the power ofrelics distinguished him among his contemporaties. Within his concept of sacred kingship/ he visioned Prague, his residential city, to become second to Rome and Paris in the possession and use of relics of saints.4 The weight of his political position, his extensive travels around the Empire. Italy and France, and long-distance contacts put him in good position to develop the city's cultic topo­ graphy, which he began in the late 1340s.
