    The Last Supper Seen Six Ways by Louis Inturrisi the New York Times, March 23, 1997

    1 Andrea del Castagno’s Last Supper, in a former convent refectory that is now a museum. The Last Supper Seen Six Ways By Louis Inturrisi The New York Times, March 23, 1997 When I was 9 years old, I painted the Last Supper. I did it on the dining room table at our home in Connecticut on Saturday afternoon while my mother ironed clothes and hummed along with the Texaco. Metropolitan Operative radio broadcast. It took me three months to paint the Last Supper, but when I finished and hung it on my mother's bedroom wall, she assured me .it looked just like Leonardo da Vinci's painting. It was supposed to. You can't go very wrong with a paint-by-numbers picture, and even though I didn't always stay within the lines and sometimes got the colors wrong, the experience left me with a profound respect for Leonardo's achievement and a lingering attachment to the genre. So last year, when the Florence Tourist Bureau published a list of frescoes of the Last Supper that are open to the public, I was immediately on their track. I had seen several of them, but never in sequence. During the Middle Ages the ultima cena—the final supper Christ shared with His disciples before His arrest and crucifixion—was part of any fresco cycle that told His life story. But in the 15th century the Last Supper began to appear independently, especially in the refectories, or dining halls, of the convents and monasteries of the religious orders founded during the Middle Ages.

    MALTESE E-NEWLETTER 263 April 2919 1 MALTESE E-NEWLETTER 263 April 2919 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE TO THE READERS OF THE MALTESE JOURNAL Dear Frank, I am really grateful for your kind gesture to dedicate such coverage to my inauguration in your newsletter. I fondly remember your participation in the Council for Maltese Living Abroad, where we tried to do our best to strengthen relations between the Maltese diaspora and the Motherland. I strongly believe that the Maltese abroad are still an untapped source which we could use help us achieve the objectives I spoke about in my inaugural speech. Please convey my heartfelt best wishes to all your readers and may we all keep Malta's name in our hearts. H.E. Dr.George Vella . President George Vella visits Bishop of Gozo Mgr Mario Grech As part of his first visit to Gozo this Saturday, the President George Vella, together with his wife Miriam Vella, paid a visit to the Bishop of Gozo Mgr Mario Grech, in the Bishop’s Curia, Victoria, where they met also by the Curia and the College of Chaplains. The Bishop congratulated Dr Vella on his appointment and presented him with a copy of the Bible. Bishop Grech said, “from my heart I trust that despite the many commitments, that you will manage to find some time for personal prayer.”Later, the President was also expected to visit the National Shrine of Our Lady of Ta’ Pinu. Also present at the visit was the Minister for Gozo Dr. Justyne Caruana. 2 MALTESE E-NEWLETTER 263 April 2919 Malta: The Country that was Awarded the George Cross April 15, 1942 days and nights - with thousands of tonnes of bombs dropped on airfields, naval bases, The Mediterranean island endured more than homes and offices.

    Scrovegni Chapel 1 Scrovegni Chapel

    Scrovegni Chapel 1 Scrovegni Chapel The Scrovegni Chapel, or Cappella degli Scrovegni, also known as the Arena Chapel, is a church in Padua, Veneto, Italy. It contains a fresco cycle by Giotto, completed about 1305, that is one of the most important masterpieces of Western art. The church was dedicated to Santa Maria della Carità at the Feast of the Annunciation, 1305. Giotto's fresco cycle focuses on the life of the Virgin Mary and celebrates her role in human salvation. The chapel is also known as the Arena Chapel because it was built on land purchased by Enrico Scrovegni that abutted the site of a Roman arena. This space is where an open-air procession and sacred representation of the Annunciation to the Virgin had been played out for a generation before the chapel was built. A motet by Marchetto da Padova appears to have been composed for the dedication on March 25, 1305.[1] The chapel was commissioned by Enrico Scrovegni, whose family fortune was made through the practice of usury, which at this time meant charging interest when loaning money, a sin so grave that it resulted in exclusion from the Christian sacraments.[2] Built on family estate, it is often suggested that Enrico built the chapel in penitence for his father's sins and for Capella degli Scrovegni absolution for his own. Enrico's father Reginaldo degli Scrovegni is the usurer encountered by Dante in the Seventh Circle of Hell. A recent study suggests that Enrico himself was involved in usurious practices and that the chapel was intended as restitution for his own sins.[3] Enrico's tomb is in the apse, and he is also portrayed in the Last Judgment presenting a model of the chapel to the Virgin.

The people of Mecca did not put up much of a resistance and Mohammed and his army quickly conquered this city. The Muslims then went on to conquer the whole of the Arabian Peninsula, spreading the Islamic religion among the Arab people. The Arabs continued to conquer other lands in Africa and Asia and so the Islamic religion spread to these lands too. The Arabs also conquered lands which bordered on the Mediterranean Sea, such as Spain and most of the main islands, such as Cyprus, Crete, Sicily and Sardinia.

    MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 272 June 2019 1 MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 272 June 2019 The theme for 2019: 'A Connected Commonwealth' The Royal Commonwealth Society was founded in 1868. It was given its present name in 1958 and is constituted as a charity. Over the years, the role of the Society has evolved to meet the changing nature of the Commonwealth and the Mrs Libby Ellis OAM needs of its Supporters. It is a network of individuals and organisations committed President of the Royal; to improving the lives and prospects of Commonwealth citizens across the world. Commonwealth It is non-partisan, is independent of governments and is supported solely by public Society S.A. Branch generosity. Each year the Commonwealth Day Observance is based around an annual Commonwealth theme. In 2015, the international theme was ‘A Young Commonwealth’, underlining the fact that people aged twenty- five or under account for the majority of the Commonwealth’s population, and recognising their capacity, contribution and potential. Through its educational, youth and outreach programmes, the Royal Commonwealth Society seeks to encourage young people to develop their skills and, with an increased understanding of their role as global citizens, to engage with challenges facing the international community. It aims to bring alive the fundamental principles of the modern Commonwealth-–tolerance, diversity, freedom, justice, democracy, human rights and sustainable development-–to a generation living in an increasingly interconnected world. RCS projects seek to enable young people to engage with their counterparts across the Commonwealth in youth leadership programmes, creative writing such as the Commonwealth Essay Competition.
