On Decem- ber 8th we celebrate the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Exactly nine months before we celebrate the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we celebrate that from her very conception, Mary was free from sin. And four days after we celebrate the Immaculate Conception, we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12th. In the year 1531, the Virgin Mary appeared in Mexico to Juan Diego. Mary appeared as a young, pregnant Aztec woman. When the local bishop didn’t believe this vision of Juan Diego, Mary provided a sign—roses in December! Mary’s image, as she appeared to Juan Diego, miraculously appeared on his tilma. Through the centuries this cloak has remained intact, and is on display above the altar at the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico. We celebrate Saint Juan Diego’s Feast Day on December 9th Page 2 Seasoning the Seasons™ The Season of Advent Here’s…Lucy! Early in the morning on December 13th, especially in Scandinavian countries, it is common for the oldest daughter in the family to wear a white gown and red sash, with a wreath of candles on her head, and serve coffee and Lucy Cats (saffron buns) to the household. It’s the Feast Day of Santa Lucia, or Saint Lucy! Saint Lucy lived in Syracuse on the island of Sicily. Around the year 304, she was martyred at a very young age during a time when the Emperor Diocletian was persecuting Christians. Still today, we hear Saint Lucy’s name mentioned in Eucharistic Prayer I. But few details are known of her actual life. One legend says that during the persecution, Lucy’s eyes were plucked out. That is why Saint Lucy is sometimes depicted holding a platter with eyeballs on it! The Gospel for the Feast of Saint Lucy is Matthew 25:1-13 (The Parable of the Ten Virgins). In this par- able, the five wise virgins went out to meet the Lord with their lamps lighted. Perhaps the five candles in the wreath on Lucy’s head in this depiction represent those five faithful virgins! Saint Lucy is the Patron Saint of those who are blind or suffer from eye diseases, as well as the island of Sicily. Happy Hanukkah!

  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

Photo: The National Gallery, courtesy of the Thomas Dane Gallery, 2012. © Michael Landy, Michael Landy as St Jerome, MICHAEL LANDY SAINTS ALIVE An introduction for teachers and students SAINTS ALIVE This exhibition consists of seven kinetic sculptures that are operated by visitors. The sculptures represent figures and stories of popular saints taken from the history of art. They are made from cast representations of details taken from National Gallery paintings, which have been combined with assemblages of recycled machinery, broken children’s toys and other unwanted junk. In the foyer to the exhibition, a selection of related drawings and collages is displayed. The collages are made from fragments cut out from reproductions of paintings in the collection. THE ROOTSTEIN HOPKINS ASSOCIATE ARTIST SCHEME The National Gallery is a historical collection that ends with work by Cézanne and the Post-Impressionists. At the time of the Gallery’s foundation in 1824, one of the stated aims was that it should provide a resource from which contemporary artists could learn and gain inspiration. Taking its cue from this idea, the Associate Artist Scheme began in 1989 with the appointment of Paula Rego. The essential requirement for the Associate Artist is that he or she makes new work by engaging with, and responding to the collection or some aspect of the collection. The artist is given a studio in the Gallery for a period of around two years. Michael Landy is the ninth artist to be invited to undertake this project.

  • Retable of Saint Lucy Master of Riglos 15 Maio – 08 September 2019
    RETABLE OF SAINT LUCY MASTER OF RIGLOS 15 MAIO – 08 SEPTEMBER 2019 IN THE BOOK Embaixadas de Portugal, pub- lished in 2006 (Lisbon: Polígono Editores), men- tion was made of the existence at the Portuguese Embassy in Spain (at the former palace of the Dukes of Hijar in Paseo de la Castellana, Madrid) of four fifteenth-century paintings described as being Catalan and attributed, in the book, to Luis Borrassá, the painter from Girona who had set- tled in Barcelona in around 1383, the city where he was to die in 1425. The paintings, depicting scenes from the life of St. Lucy, cannot, however, be attributed to that remarkable Catalan painter, as they date from a slightly later period (the mid- fifteenth century) and clearly belong instead to the Aragonese school. They were talked about, for the first time, in Volume VIII of the monumental A History of Spanish Painting by Chandler Rathfon Post, published in 1941 by Harvard University Press. Post describes two altarpieces that he had seen in Paris, in the collection of the famous antique dealers the Bacri brothers – one dedicated to Master of Riglos St. Blaise and the other to St. Lucy. The two altar- Aragon, middle of the 15th century pieces were similar in their structure: the main St. Lucy gives his goods to the poor c. 1450 figure of the saint was placed in a large central Tempera and gold on pine panel panel, with six narrative panels at the sides, a representation of Christ at the top, and a predella displaying five scenes from the Passion of Christ.
