Rome probably needs no introduction – it is the ultimate vacation destination - there is perhaps no other city so crammed full of history, with layer upon layer of fabulous ruins and imperial temples, not to mention Etruscan tombs, early Christian churches, medieval bell towers, Renaissance palaces and baroque basilicas, all which can be enjoyed under the magic of the warm Southern sun. CIV02 - ROME, BAROQUE TOUR ! ! ! Duration: full day, lunch not included Rome – one of the world’s most iconic cities that is both steeped in history and rich in Italian charm – awaits you after an approx. 1.5-hour coach drive from Civitavecchia. A city guide will be on hand to meet you on arrival and then escort you on a Roman tour that includes external viewings of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. The Pope’s weekly Angelus – held on St. Peter’s Square every Sunday – can also be attended, giving you a chance to admire the splendid Bernini Column at the same time. Free time to explore on your own will be made available as well. A visit to the Basilica is well worthwhile – your guide will provide information on the site beforehand. The excursion draws to a close with a walk to the Pantheon and the lovely Piazza Navona. After saying goodbye to your guide, you will return to the port. Please note: the excursion includes a long walking tour. Lunch is not included in the price of the excursion and is at the clients’ charge. The possibility of attending the “Angelus” will be reconfirmed on board as it depends on the Vatican’s programmes and is foreseen only during Sunday calls. During the autumn and the winter, it may be dusk when we visit some of the sites. Conservative attire is recommended for visiting sites of religious importance. CIV03 - ROME ON YOUR OWN ! ! ! ! Duration: full day, lunch not included This unguided tour of Rome begins with an approx. 1.5-hour drive by coach, after which you can spend the entire day exploring “The Eternal City” – the capital of Italy – at your leisure. Instructions on how best to get around town and a map showing the main sights and monuments will be provided. Some of the must-sees Rome is known for include the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, the Pantheon, the beautiful Piazza Navona in old Rome and the neighbouring Vatican City State in Rome’s modern centre, to name but a few. As one of the world’s fashion capitals, the city is also choc-full of superb shopping facilities. Further sights include the magnificent Bernini Column on St. Peter’s Square, which is also the site of the Pope’s Sunday Angelus. Please note: the bus stops near the Colosseum; this is the point of arrival and departure of your tour. Wheelchair guests must be accompanied by their own helper to get on/off the coach. Wheelchairs must be foldable as the coach is not provided with ramps or lifts. Once onboard, please contact Excursions Desk staff promptly so they can help make arrangements. CIV07 - GRAN TOUR OF ROME, THE ETERNAL CITY ! ! ! ! " Duration: full day, lunch included This excursion combines two of the most important aspects of Rome: Christianity and antiquity. Bus transfer to Rome (1.5 hours) to meet our guide and start the tour with a visit to the Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre. We will look around this impressive edifice, built to hold up to 50.000 people and where the Romans used to watch the cruel gladiators combats. The tour continues with a stroll around Piazza Navona and the Pantheon, an ancient temple built in honour of seven important Roman deities. Stop for lunch in a typical Italian restaurant.

  • Saints Related to Young People
    Saints Related to Young People Thomas Aquinas—Academics Thomas was a gentle teacher who believed faith and reason when used wisely would enable all humanity to know and love God as the angels. He studied in Paris from 1245-1248 under Saint Albert the Great, then accompanied Albertus to Cologne. Here he received the nickname “dumb ox,” though he is now considered a Doctor of the Church, and one of the most intelligent philosophers of all time. Vitus—Against Oversleeping For obscure reasons, some 16th century Germans believed they could obtain a year's good health by dancing before the statue of Saint Vitus on his feast day. This dancing developed almost into a mania, and was confused with chorea, the nervous condition later known as Saint Vitus' Dance, the saint being invoked against it. Francis of Assisi—Animals, Catholic Action It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching. Son of a rich cloth merchant. Misspent youth. Street brawler and some-time soldier. During an imprisonment in Perugia, he had a conversion experience, including a reported message from Christ calling him to leave this worldly life. Upon release, Francis began taking his religion seriously. Christopher—Drivers His fame derives from the pious legend of him being a "Christ-bearer" (= Christopher). He was a powerfully built man who wandered the world in search of novelty and adventure. He came upon a hermit who lived beside a dangerous stream and served others by guiding them to safe places to cross. George—Boy Scouts Several stories have been attached to Saint George, the best known of which is the Golden Legend.

  • Santa Maria De Montserrat Monastery
    Bulletin #378 May 2015 SANTA MARIA DE MONTSERRAT MONASTERY It is a Benedictine abbey situated on the mountain of Montserrat, province of Barcelona. It has become a point of pilgrimage for believers and a required visit for tourists. Where’s Balboa? by Helen Ofield, President, Lemon Grove Historical Society We are celebrating the centennial year of Balboa Park, but the park’s namesake is missing in action. Among the various statues and sculptures in the park, nary a one represents the former Spanish explorer (he worked for a nobleman as a squire before coming to the new world), ex pig farmer, courageous soldier and first European to see the Pacific Ocean “silent upon a peak in Darién.” Why is that? Is nobody concerned about this obvious historical oversight? Why would a 23-foot statue of the Spanish hero, El Cid, dominate the center of the park? He was a medieval soldier of fortune who died in 1099, four centuries before Vasco Nuñez de Balboa entered history by walking across the Isthmus of Panama, establishing a stable settlement named Darién, and finding the Pacific. True, Balboa Park is rooted in Spanish history and its impact on California. With help from architect William Templeton Johnson, El Cid was donated in 1930 by the Hispanic Society of America and its founder, Archer Milton Huntington, who had commissioned his wife, Anna Hyatt Huntington, to create the statue for them. The original stands outside the Society’s building, 613 West 155th Street, New York, NY. Our El Cid is one of four copies made for Valencia, Buenos Aires, San Francisco and San Diego.

  • Our Lady of Montserrat
    Our Lady of Montserrat Montserrat is a mountain chain near Barcelona, in Catalonia, Spain. It is part of the Catalan Pre- Coastal Range, its main peaks 1,236 metres tall. It is a mountain that astonishes you the moment you see it, for it is so different from all others. Seen from the distance, looming up alone out of the landscape, it is bound to attract your attention. Depending on where you see it from, its silhouette is reminiscent of the toothed blade of a saw. And here you have the clue to its name, for the Catalan word Montserrat means “sawn mountain”. It describes the peculiar aspect of the rock formation, which is visible from a great distance. The mountain is composed of strikingly pink conglomerate, a form of sedimentary rock. It is well-known as the site of the Benedictine abbey, Santa Maria de Montserrat, which hosts the Virgin of Montserrat. The statue of the Madonna and Child is known as “La Moreneta” (the dark little one). Legend relates that was first known as “La Jerosolimitana” (the native of Jerusalem), since it is believed to have been carved in that city during the early days of the church, and according to Catholic tradition its author was Saint Luke. The image was moved to Montserrat in 718, to avoid the danger posed by invading Saracens. It was later hidden from the Moors in a cave, where it was rediscovered in the IX century. Some shepherds found the lost statue under supernatural guidance in 890. While tending their flocks that night the shepherds were amazed to see lights and to hear singing coming from the mountain.

  • The Marian Pilgrimage: Day Thirteen: Tuesday 19 May 2020
    The Marian Pilgrimage: Day Thirteen: Tuesday 19 May 2020 The Shrine of Our Lady of Montserrat, near Barcelona, Spain Before leaving the Capital of Catalonia, Barcelona for Montserrat we include a visit to La Sagrada Familia {The Holy Family} Basilica. The origins of the Basilica date Back to 1866, when Josep Maria BocaBellai Verdaguer founded the Asociación Espiritual de Devotos de San José (Spiritual Association of Devotees of St. Joseph). It was this association that promoted the construction of an expiatory church dedicated to the Holy Family. The project was initially commissioned to the architect Francisco de Paula del Villar y Lozano and the first stone was placed under his direction on March 19, 1882. But shortly after this, Francisco de Paula del Villar resigned due to disagreements with the developers. The commission then passed to a thirty-one year old architect, Antoni Gaudi. He had no experience in major works and decided to completely re-think the project. After the Association received an important anonymous donation, the Catalan genius decided to make a new and larger work. He rejected the former neo- Gothic project, of which only the crypt had Been Built, and proposed an exuberant and innovative temple with a Latin cross plan, eighteen towers of great heigh, and full of religious symbolism shown especially throughout its sculptural decoration. Gaudí dedicated forty-three years of his life to La Sagrada Familia but, after his early death in 1926, only one of the towers had Been Built. Aware that the temple’s work could take even centuries to complete, Gaudí defined the entire project on plans and made three scale plaster models, so that they would be used as such in the construction of the entire building.

  • THE ENDURING GODDESS: Artemis and Mary, Mother of Jesus”
    “THE ENDURING GODDESS: Artemis and Mary, Mother of Jesus” Carla Ionescu A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN HUMANITIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO May 2016 © Carla Ionescu, 2016 ii Abstract: Tradition states that the most popular Olympian deities are Apollo, Athena, Zeus and Dionysius. These divinities played key roles in the communal, political and ritual development of the Greco-Roman world. This work suggests that this deeply entrenched scholarly tradition is fissured with misunderstandings of Greek and Ephesian popular culture, and provides evidence that clearly suggests Artemis is the most prevalent and influential goddess of the Mediterranean, with roots embedded in the community and culture of this area that can be traced further back in time than even the arrival of the Greeks. In fact, Artemis’ reign is so fundamental to the cultural identity of her worshippers that even when facing the onslaught of early Christianity, she could not be deposed. Instead, she survived the conquering of this new religion under the guise of Mary, Mother of Jesus. Using methods of narrative analysis, as well as review of archeological findings, this work demonstrates that the customs devoted to the worship of Artemis were fundamental to the civic identity of her followers, particularly in the city of Ephesus in which Artemis reigned not only as Queen of Heaven, but also as Mother, Healer and Saviour. Reverence for her was as so deeply entrenched in the community of this city, that after her temple was destroyed, and Christian churches were built on top of her sacred places, her citizens brought forward the only female character in the new ruling religion of Christianity, the Virgin Mary, and re-named her Theotokos, Mother of God, within its city walls.
