  • The Holy See
    The Holy See Coat of Arms of His Holiness Benedict XVI Armour bearings have been in common use by soldiers and the nobility since the Middle Ages. This has given rise to a very specific heraldic language to regulate and describe civic heraldry. At the same time, an ecclesiastical heraldry for clergy also developed. This heraldic usage follows exactly the same rules as civic heraldry with regard to the composition and definition of the shield, but surrounds it with religious or Church symbols and emblems according to one's ecclesiastical rank in Holy Orders, jurisdiction and dignity. There is an at least 800-year-old tradition for Popes to have their own personal coat of arms, in addition to the symbols proper to the Apostolic See. Particularly during the Renaissance and the centuries that followed, it was customary to mark with the arms of the reigning Supreme Pontiff all his principal works. Indeed, Papal coats of arms appear on buildings and in various publications, 2 decrees and documents. Popes often used their family shield or composed their own with symbols indicating their ideal of life or referring to past events or experiences, or even elements connected with specific Pontifical programmes. At times, they even added a variant to a shield that they had adopted on becoming a Bishop. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, elected Pope and taking the name Benedict XVI, has chosen a coat of arms rich in symbolism and meaning that transmits to history his personality and Pontificate. A coat of arms consists of a shield bearing several important symbols and surrounded by elements that indicate the person's dignity, rank, title, jurisdiction and more.

  • History of Family Crests
    HISTORY OF FAMILY CRESTS A coat of arms or family crest is a shield that tells a story through symbols. If we know how to read the story we can learn about a person’s dignity, rank, title, their history and values that are important to them. Crests were very common in the Middle Ages as designs on the shield of a knight, it was a way to identify him as an individual. The father of a family would pass the crest down to his firstborn son who would alter it slightly to make it his own. PAPAL CRESTS POPE ST. JOHN PAUL II Cross – Represents the central Christian mystery of Redemption Golden “M” – Mary beneath the Cross Tiara – Symbol of Papal authority Crossed Keys – Symbols of spiritual and temporal power POPE BENEDICT XVI Shape – Chalice, commonly used in the Church Gold Chape – Symbol of religion, inspired by Benedictine spirituality Crossed Keys – Symbols of spiritual and temporal power Pallium – Pastor of the flock entrusted to him by Christ Moor’s Head - Ancient emblem of the Diocese of Freising Brown Bear - This recalls the story of St. Corbinian, first Bishop of Freising, who was attacked by a bear. The saint tamed the animal and made him carry his baggage to Rome. The bear is a symbol of the Bishop, tamed by God’s grace and the pack a sym- bol of the burden of the Episcopate. Large Gold Shell – This recalls the legend of St. Augustine who meets a child trying to scoop the water of the sea into a hole in the sand.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See BENEDICT XVI GENERAL AUDIENCE Saint Peter's Square Wednesday, 20 September 2006 Apostolic Journey to Munich, Altötting and Regensburg Dear Brothers and Sisters, Today, I would like to think back to the various moments of the Pastoral Visit that the Lord granted me to make last week to Bavaria. In sharing with you my emotions and sentiments on seeing the places dear to me, I feel first of all the need to thank God for having made possible my second Visit to Germany and my first to Bavaria, my native Land. I am also deeply grateful to all those - Pastors, priests, pastoral workers, public Authorities, organizers, police forces and volunteers - who worked with dedication and patience to ensure that every event would take place as smoothly as possible. As I said on arriving at Munich Airport on Saturday, 9 September, the purpose of my Journey, in memory of those who helped to form my personality, was to reaffirm and strengthen, as Successor of the Apostle Peter, the close bonds that unite the See of Rome with the Church in Germany. Thus, the Journey was not simply a "return" to the past but also a providential opportunity to look with hope to the future. "Those who believe are never alone": the motto of my Visit was intended as an invitation to reflect on the membership of every baptized person in the one Church of Christ, within which one is never alone but in constant communion with God and with all the brethren. 2 My first stop was the City of Munich, known as "the Metropolis with a heart" (Weltstadt mit Herz).

  • The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension
    The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension Introduction History of Martyrologies The Martyrology is an official liturgical book of the Catholic Church. The official Latin version of the Martyrology contains a short liturgical service the daily reading of the Martyrology’s list of saints for each day. The oldest surviving martyologies are the lists of martyrs and bishops from the fourth-century Roman Church. The martyrology wrongly attributed to St. Jerome was written in Ital in the second half of the fifth century, but all the surviving versions of it come from Gaul. It is a simple martyrology, which lists the name of the saint and the date and place of death of the saint. Historical martyrologies give a brief history of the saints. In the eighth and ninth centuries, St. Bede, Rhabanus Maurus, and Usuard all wrote historical martyrologies. The Roman Martyrology, based primarily on Usuard’s, was first published in 1583, and the edition of 1584 was made normative in the Roman rite by Gregory XIII. The post-Vatican II revision appeared first in 2001. A revision that corrected typographical errors and added 117 people canonized by Pope John Paul II between 2001 and 2004, appeared in 2005.1 The Purpose and Principles of This Martyology The primary purpose of this martyrology is to provide an historically accurate text for liturgical use at the monastery, where each day after noon prayer it is customary to read the martyrology for the following day. Some things in this martyrology are specific to the Monastery of the Ascension: namesdays of the members of the community, anniversaries of members of the community who have died, a few references to specific events or saints of local interest.

  • The Later Holy Corbinian from Arpajon Near Paris Arrives in Freising in the Early 8Th Century, to Establish a Christian Commu
    The City of Freising is situated about 35km north-east of Munich on the river Isar and is one of the most important university cities of Bavaria. More than 90 professors teach and carry out research at the TUM School of Life Sciences, the biggest faculty of the Technische Universität München (TUM). The Uni- versity of Applied Sciences Weihenstephan-Triesdorf specializes in Green Engineering. A total of 9500 students are currently at both universities. Courtesy of the city of Freising In the early Middle Ages, a long time before the foundation of Munich, Freis- ing was a city of high cultural importance. From the beginning of the 8th centu- ry churches and monasteries were built on the Cathedral hill (“Domberg” or “Mons Doctus”) and on the Weihenstephan hill (“Weihenstephaner Berg”); in their scriptoria wonderful codi- ces of great historical value were produced. On the Weihenstephan hill, the Brewery of Weihenstephan is located. It is known as the old- est brewery in the world and today it is owned by the Free State of Bavaria. Above the rooftops of Freising: View of the Weihenstephan hill (above) with the baroque tower of St. George’s church in the foreground and the towers of the brewery of Weihenstephan in the back- ground. the Cathedral hill or Mons Doctus (below).

  • 02 Eng Mit Deckblatt
    Pope Benedict XVI. in Bavaria Saturday, September 09, 2006, Welcome at Marienplatz, Munich Address of the Holy Father Note: Mistakes in the text are transmission errors and could not be corrected because of the nature of the file. 02 Madam Chancellor and Mr Prime Minister, My Brother Cardinals, Bishops and Priests, Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Brothers and Sisters! It is very moving for me to stand once more in this beautiful square at the foot of the Mariensäule – in a place which already witnessed two other decisive turning-points in my life. Here, almost thirty years ago, the faithful welcomed me with joy as their new Archbishop: I then began my ministry with a prayer to the Mother of God. Here too, five years later, after being called to Rome by the Pope, I bade farewell to my Diocese and once more addressed a prayer to the Patrona Bavariae , entrusting “my” city and homeland to her protection. Today I am here again – this time as the Successor of Saint Peter. I thank the Prime Minister, Dr Edmund Stoiber, for his cordial words of welcome in the name of the Bavarian regional government. I also thank my successor as Pastor of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising, Cardinal Friedrich Wetter, for his warm welcome on behalf of the faithful of the Archdiocese. I greet the Chancellor, Dr Angela Merkel, and all the political, civil and military authorities taking part in this brief ceremony of welcome and prayer. I would like to offer a special greeting to the priests, especially those whom I worked with in my home Diocese of Munich and Freising.

    Huosiland A Small Country in Carolingian Europe Carl I. Hammer Access Archaeology haeopr c es r s A A y c g c e o l s o s e A a r c Ah About Access Archaeology Access Archaeology offers a different publishing model for specialist academic material that might traditionally prove commercially unviable, perhaps due to its sheer extent or volume of colour content, or simply due to its relatively niche field of interest. All Access Archaeology publications are available in open-access e-pdf format and in (on-demand) print format. The open-access model supports dissemination in areas of the world where budgets are more severely limited, and also allows individual academics from all over the world the chance to access the material privately, rather than relying solely on their university or public library. Print copies, nevertheless, remain available to individuals and institutions who need or prefer them. The material is professionally refereed, but not peer reviewed. Copy-editing takes place prior to submission of the work for publication and is the responsibility of the author. Academics who are able to supply print-ready material are not charged any fee to publish (including making the material available in open-access). In some instances the material is type-set in-house and in these cases a small charge is passed on for layout work. This model works for us as a publisher because we are able to publish specialist work with relatively little editorial investment. Our core effort goes into promoting the material, both in open-access and print, where Access Archaeology books get the same level of attention as our core peer-reviewed imprint by being included in marketing e-alerts, print catalogues, displays at academic conferences and more, supported by professional distribution worldwide.
