The research of fine arts of monkhoods that flourished in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (GDL) in the 17th-18th century is important as evaluation of artistic, cultural and spiritual heritage of the past. Even though the monastic tradition is rather short in GDL, the valuable and original heritage encourages to analyse the culture of monasteries as a separate layer of cultural tradition. The solid contribution of one of the largest monkhoods of GDL, the Carmelite Order, to the nurturance of religious art should be evaluated by a wider and deeper aspect of art criticism. Also, religious fraternities, which became the only nurseries for Catholicism after the closure of monasteries, played an important role in continuing the tradition of piety and church art in our country. The chosen Marian aspect of research – Our Lady of the Scapular – reflects one of the main piety cults of the Carmelite monkhood. The purpose of this work is to draw attention to the iconography of images of Our Lady of the Scapular. The place of this iconographic derivative has not yet been defined unambiguously in the system of Marian iconography: iconographic dictionaries grant a different status to portrayals of Our Lady of the Scapular. The historically tardy legitimation of the Carmelites’ piety determined a slower spread of devotion to St. Scapular as compared with the cult of St. Rosary spread by the Dominicans heartily in the Middle Ages; therefore, today we have a conditionally unequal positioning of two iconographies of analogical origin – Our Lady of the Rosary in particular is mentioned and predominates in the majority of art dictionaries or directories while Our Lady of the Scapular is not referred to. Due to the different perception of the conception of iconography of Our Lady of the Scapular or identification of this derivative on the basis of distinct criteria, inaccuracies and mistakes emerge while identifying and evaluating portrayals of the Carmelite Mother of God. Such a situation prevails not only in our country but also in art criticism of the entire Europe, and this causes confusion and complicates iconographic research of Marian portrayals. Images portraying Out Lady of the Scapular are named differently: by confining to the theme of the vision plot, by coupling the title of the image with the title granted by the church, by continuing to use the title of piety of people, by emphasising the prototype of the image or the place of origin. These variants do not correspond with the iconographic typologization of art research rather often. Therefore, the type of Our Lady of the Scapular should be defined indicating the essential attributes of representation. In the research the internal composition of objects is analysed structurally, and the multi-layered iconography is revealed in this way. It is of great importance to find the notional dominant in portrayals of Our Lady of the Scapular of combined iconography that determines the naming of the theme. The raising of this issue is actual for identification of heritage objects and their systemisation both in Lithuania and other European countries. The identification of objects is also aggravated by the broken iconography of these images altering with time: some images were created for evoking Carmelite spirituality right from the start, other images gained the iconography of Our Lady of the Scapular later while adorning the portrayals with casings, yet others – while repainting images or inducting the devotion to the scapular on the art work in another manner. Although the mobile sacramental of the scapular coming with an image reflects the piety context of the time period, it does not survive on the long run the most often, and iconographic changes may be recorded only according to entries in church inventories. It should be noted that the delivery of the scapular garment as a sacramental is portrayed not only in Carmelite art themes – the analogical plot is repeated in images of the Servite Order. Our Lady of the Scapular is also portrayed with the scapular sacramental of the fraternity form in Marian images of the Mercedarian Order. The aforementioned works of art are frequently attributed to the Carmelite artistic heritage erroneously due to the usual visual similarity. Such evident mistakes prove that art criticism lacks clear criteria on the basis of which the specifics of the iconographic type of Our Lady of the Scapular could be named and the legitimate status could be granted to this derivative. The lack of theological knowledge or theological education of specialists that carry out iconographic research could be referred to as a general problem in art criticism today. Usually connoisseurs of religious art gain knowledge about history of the Catholic church, its structure, institutions, Catholic piety and liturgy from lasting experience, individual studies of secrets of Christian faith and consultations with Church representatives. The aforementioned topic is explored in our art criticism for the first time; therefore, the research is of high value due to its novelty and actuality. This research is 6 unique on the European scale too as there are no works of art criticism that would analyse the iconography of Carmelite Marian images of GDL in such a wide European context. Meanwhile, the funds of Lithuanian old religious art will be enriched with the analysis of newly discovered objects and the classified iconographic material of images of the Mother of God that encompasses three centuries of existence of the Carmelite monkhood in our country. Object of the dissertation. The chosen object of the research, images of the iconographic type of Our Lady of the Scapular, coincides with the step highly needed in our art criticism, i.e., with the systematic attitude of iconographic

  • Mariology – Part 2
    PAUL M. WILLIAMS [09/12/16] IS ROMAN CATHOLICISM TRUE CHRISTIANITY? – PART 11 MARIOLOGY – PART 2 Recap We began in our last teaching part to explore what is termed in the realm of theology, Mariology – which is the study of Mary, the mother of Jesus. We outlined the biblical portrayal of Mary, a righteous women and a humble handmaid of the Lord. She it was who was found with child of the Holy Spirit, who gave birth to Messiah and nursed Him who was called King of the Jews. We looked at the early life of Jesus and how His mother played an integral role in His nativity and in His early childhood. However, we also saw that as Jesus was growing into manhood, a clear transitioning of authority was taking place between that of His submission to his earthly parents and His submission to His Father in heaven. This was brought out most forcefully in two accounts recorded in the gospel of Luke and John – the first being Jesus’ response to Mary when being only twelve in Jerusalem (Luke 2:48-49) and the other when just beginning His ministry at the wedding in Cana of Galilee (John 2:1-5). For Roman Catholics, Mary is not merely and only the biological mother of Jesus, the vehicle used by God to bring His Son into this world. Official Catholic Church dogma teaches that Mary remained a perpetual virgin; that Mary is free from original sin (Immaculate Conception) and at the end of her life on earth, she was taken up into heaven where she continues perpetually to be the mother of God and Queen of Heaven.

  • FEAST of OUR LADY of the ROSARY - OCTOBER 7TH Excerpts from America Needs Fatima and Encyclopedia Britannica
    FEAST OF OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY - OCTOBER 7TH excerpts from America Needs Fatima and encyclopedia Britannica Brief History of the Rosary The Blessed Virgin Mary first gave the Rosary to St. Dominic of Guzman in a vision in 1208, as he earnestly begged God for a solution to the Albigensian heresy. This particular heresy maintained that all material creation was evil, and only the spiritual was good, and was aggressively infecting the south of France. After St. Dominic began to preach the reciting of the Rosary, as instructed by the Blessed Virgin, the days of the Albigensian error were numbered. Our Lady of the Rosary The feast of Our Lady of the Rosary was instituted by Pope St. Pius V in honor and thanksgiving for the great naval victory of the greatly outnumber allied Christian force called the “Holy League,” against a much larger but less disciplined, Muslim fleet at Lepanto located in the waters off southwestern Greece in 1571. The "League" was formed in response to the attack against Cyprus by the Muslim Ottoman Empire, which had all the intentions of a continued invasion of Western Europe. This battle was also historically remarkable, in that it was the last and greatest engagement with oar-propelled vessels and the first great victory over a Turkish fleet. During the battle, while the fate of Christian Europe hung in the balance on October 7, 1571, the Sovereign Pontiff called for a Rosary procession in Rome. It was during that procession that the victory was decided for the Christian fleet while engage in the “Battle of Lepanto”.

  • Novena ‒ Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary
    Novena – Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary September 29 - October 7 It is customary with men of the world to balance their accounts at the end of the year and determine their profits. The Church prepares to do this as she comes to the Feast of Christ the King, and that of All Saints and All Souls and the end of the Liturgical Year. But the Feast of the Holy Rosary (October 7) is a reckoning even more solemn, the profits even bigger: the Church opens her balance-sheet with the gain accruing to Our Lady from the mysteries, which compose the entire liturgical cycle. Christmas, the cross, the triumph of Jesus, these produce the holiness of us all; but before and above all, the holiness of Mary. The crown, which the Church thus offers today to the Queen of heaven and earth, is made up of the triple crown of those sanctifying mysteries; joyful, sorrowful, luminous and glorious. These were the cause of her joy, the cause of her sorrow and of her glory. The Joyful Mysteries, the Sorrowful Mysteries, The Luminous and the Glorious Mysteries in the life of Jesus her Divine Son. They are an integral part of her life as well. Such is Mary’s Rosary; a new and fruitful vine, which began to blossom at Gabriel’s salutation, and whose fragrant garlands form a link between earth and heaven. In its present form, St. Dominic made the rosary known to the world at the time of the struggles with the Albigensians, that social war of such ill- omen for the Church.
