She has said:Yes, I have faith in the su- pernatural, the existence of something bigger than myself. And the Catholic Church seems to sum it up. Besides I like Christianity as a religion. I think it’s awfully good. It’s the best thing there is, as far as I’m concerned. Lent challenges us to remember that we will die. It also arms us with the Good News: “Repent and believe in the Gospel.” Lent shows us the skull as an alternative. It also shows us the transfigured face of Christ.

  • The Funerals of the Habsburg Emperors in the Eighteenth Century
    The Funerals of the Habsburg Emperors In the Eighteenth Century MARK HENGERER 1. Introduction The dassic interpretation of the eighteenth century as aperiod of transition-from sacred kingship to secular state, from a divine-right monarchy to enlightened absolutism, from religion to reason-neglects, so the editor of this volume suggests, aspects of the continuing impact of religion on European royal culture during this period, and ignores the fact that secularization does not necessarily mean desacralization. If we take this point of view, the complex relationship between monarchy and religion, such as appears in funerals, needs to be revisited. We still lack a comparative and detailed study of Habsburg funerals throughout the entire eighteenth century. Although the funerals of the emperors in general have been the subject of a great deal of research, most historians have concentrated either on funerals of individual ruIers before 1700, or on shorter periods within the eighteenth century.l Consequently, the general view I owe debts of gratitude to MeJana Heinss Marte! and Derek Beales for their romments on an earlier version ofthis essay, and to ThomasJust fi'om the Haus-, Hof­ und Staatsarchiv, Vienna, for unbureaucratic access to the relevant source material.

  • Rome Hotel Eden
    ROME HOTEL EDEN Two day itinerary: Teenagers With strong historical and cultural appeal, it isn’t difficult to find activities to entertain and educate the whole family in Rome. While travelling with teenagers can have its challenges, the key to a fantastic trip lies in a little imagination and a lot of creative planning. Visit these popular places for teenagers with this two-day travel guide to Rome. Day One Start the day with a 15-minute drive to Castel Sant’Angelo, crossing over the River Tiber. CASTEL SANT’ANGELO T: 006 32810 | Lungotevere Castello 50, 00193 Rome An unmissable attraction for history buffs, Castel Sant’Angelo is more than just a castle. The ancient Roman fortress is home to Hadrian’s tomb, built by the 2nd century emperor himself. Starting at the tomb, young adventurers can explore the castle and discover the National Museum of Castel Sant’Angelo with its collections of antique weapons, pottery and art. Next, take a leisurely 10-minute walk to St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. ST PETER’S BASILICA T: 006 6988 3229 | Piazza San Pietro, Vatican City, 00120 Instantly recognisable by its enormous domed roof, St Peter’s Basilica is among the most famous sights in Rome. Treat teenagers to an alternative view by climbing to the top of the dome. From the roof level of the basilica, it’s over 500 steps to the top of the dome, but it’s worth the effort for incredible panoramic views of the Eternal City. To reach Pizzarium, take either a 10-minute drive or a 20-minute walk.

  • “Meditation” for Fauré's Requiem Palm Sunday April 14
    “Meditation” for Fauré’s Requiem Palm Sunday April 14, 2019 Faith Presbyterian Church – Evening Service Pr. Nicoletti When I told someone I know outside of our congregation about our program tonight … they were puzzled … and I suspect a little put off. Their response was something like “Oookay … why would you do that?” Because tonight, our program, is essentially a musical work that is focused on death and dying, and what follows that. Why would a group of people, on a Sunday evening like tonight, gather together to meditate on death and dying? The question brings out how counter-cultural our focus tonight is. But it wasn’t always so counter-cultural. The Christian church for much of its history stressed the importance of living our lives now in light of the fact that we will die. Whether in the liturgy and music of the church, as we will hear tonight, in church architecture, or in the visual art of the church, at its best the Church was persistent in reminding itself of the reality of death. A work or genre of art aimed at doing this would be referred to as a memento mori – Latin for “Remember (that) you will die.” My favorite example of a memento mori that I have heard of is in Rome and is called the Capuchin Crypt. It is a small space made up of several tiny chapels beneath a church. And each room, each chapel, is intricately decorated with the carefully arranged bones of 3700 Franciscan friars who had been part of the Capuchin order before their deaths.

Professor Craciun’s extensive feedback and constant encouragement made a great impact on my ability to find joy in research and writing. Professor Haggerty’s reading groups, and his insights into the less-studied aspects of Gothic literature, inspired me to keep evolving my ideas about Radcliffe—and literature in general. And Professor Brayman’s help tracing the arc of early modern science and print history opened up a new path for thinking about material expressions of knowledge. Their encouragement, advice, and support have been invaluable. I am also eternally grateful for the mentorship and friendship of Professor Clorinda Donato, without whom I would have never made it to this Ph.D. program. Stephen Tabor, the Curator of Early Printed Books at the Huntington Library was a generous mentor in my transition from library school to Ph.D. program, as was Carol Sandberg at Michael Thompson Rare Books. Russell Johnson, the Curator of History and Special Collections at the UCLA Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library, and Teresa Jonson, the assistant for those collections, were especially helpful to me as I began this project.

Indeed, the sexual revolution was considered to be the most revolutionary because it is “not only against civilization and values but also against the very principle of reality.” The fruits of this are now evident to all.
