ASSOCIATION of the MIRACULOUS MEDAL 12 Day Pilgrimage to SPAIN and LOURDES October 8-19, 2015 ASSOCIATION OF THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL 12 Day Pilgrimage to SPAIN and LOURDES October 8-19, 2015 Dear Fellow Pilgrim, Please consider this my personal invitation to join me on the Association of the Miraculous Medal’s special fall pilgrimage to Spain and Lourdes. I want to especially point out our visit to the city of Avila during the 500th anniversary of St. Teresa of Avila’s birth. Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has granted a plenary indulgence to those pilgrims who visit Avila and celebrate the Eucharist there. I was born in Spain, just a few miles away from the birthplace of St. Ignatius of Loyola which we will also visit. I will have the good fortune of sharing with you the beauty of Spain and the many places we will visit in Madrid and Barcelona. Our journey to Lourdes, France, will be the highlight for us as members of the Association of the Miraculous Medal. We will visit the very place where our Blessed Mother appeared to St. Bernadette in 1858, and have the opportunity to celebrate Mass at the grotto. Look over the brochure for more information, carefully check the terms and conditions, and send in your reservation right away. I look forward to welcoming you on this exciting, once-in-a-lifetime trip where you will have the chance to meet new friends, pray, and attend Mass at many chapels and cathedrals.

You will visit the Royal Palace, the Pantheon of Kings, the Pantheon of Princes, Chapterhouses, the Basilica, and the Library. The austere, monumental domed church is surrounded by 44 chapels, each exquisitely decorated. The Royal Pantheon, of black marble contains the tombs of Spanish royalty and the halls house an art collection including works by El Greco, Bosch, Titian, and Tintoretto. The Library houses a rare collection of manuscripts and about 40,000 books. The rooms of Maderas Finas are known for their exquisite inlaid wood decorations.

DAY 5: Mon., Oct. 12 - Avila B,D AM: City Tour of Avila After breakfast at the hotel you will celebrate Mass at the Convento de la Encarnacion. Then you will enjoy a city tour of Avila including the main Carmelite sites. Avila is a wonderfully well-preserved, middle-age walled city, enthroned on a hilltop. Fine Romanesque churches, Gothic cathedrals, and the ruins of still proud and challenging castles are Avila’s landmarks. Most notably, Avila is the city of Saint Teresa de Jesus, one of the greatest mystics of the Catholic Church. It is where she was born, lived much of her life, and where she began the Order of the Discalced Carmelites. You will visit the Convent of Saint Teresa. In the purest Carmelite Baroque style it has a Latin-cross layout with a central nave and four chapels on each side. Dinner: Enjoy dinner at the hotel. DAY 6: Tues., Oct. 13 – Avila/Burgos/Bilbao B,D Excursion to Burgos This morning you will depart Avila and travel to Burgos, the capital of the former kingdom of “Castilla Leon.” Burgos was the home of the Spanish national hero, El Cid, whose name means “The Lord” in Arabic. Founded in 884 A.D., Burgos was the capital of Castile until 1561, when its political prestige was lost to the newly declared capital Madrid. A wealth of medieval architecture characterizes Burgos, along with its numerous Romanesque fortifications, Gothic Churches, and Renaissance mansions. Upon your arrival in Burgos you will enjoy a city tour. During your tour you will visit Burgos Cathedral, one of the most beautiful Gothic Cathedrals and the third largest in Spain after Sevilla and Toledo. The Cathedral is a remarkable example of the transformation of French and German Flamboyant Gothic into a style that is typically Spanish through the natural exuberance of its decoration. The many works of art adorning the interior of the Cathedral make it an outstanding showcase of European Gothic sculpture. Continue to Bilbao, a city that is experiencing an economic and aesthetic revitalization process. Dinner: Enjoy dinner at the hotel. DAY 7: Wed., Oct. 14 - Bilbao/Loyola/San Sebastian B,D After breakfast at the hotel you will visit the Guggenheim Museum.

On February 11, 1858, the Virgin revealed herself to a poor shepherd girl, Bernadette Soubirous. Eighteen such apparitions were reported. Bernadette died in a convent in 1879. She was beatified in 1925, and then canonized in 1933. This evening you will join in the spectacular Torchlight Procession with pilgrims from all over the world, subject to availability.

You will also enjoy a tour of the Basilica of St. Pius X, the largest underground Basilica in the world. Walk across the pedestrian bridge over the Le Gave River, to the Church of St. Bernadette. Visit the little Cachot (former prison cell) where St. Bernadette’s family lived at the time of the apparitions. Your next stop is the Museum of St. Bernadette.

  • The Moslim Saint in Toledo Cathedral By: Angus Macnab
    The Moslim Saint in Toledo Cathedral By: Angus Macnab Studies in Comparative Religion, Vol. 2, No. 2. (Spring, 1968) © World Wisdom, Inc. www.studiesincomparativereligion.com THE main chapel of Toledo Cathedral has one curious feature which is sometimes allowed to pass unnoticed, though it must surely be unique among Christian churches. Amid the effigies of saints, holy bishops, abbots, and Christian monarchs—defenders of the faith—there stands a fine polychrome statue of an Islamic doctor of theology. This cathedral was not begun until the early thirteenth century; but the memory of the saintly Mussulman was still held in such regard at Toledo a century and a half after the reconquest of the city from the Arabs, that his image was set up in one of the two most prominent positions of honour. These two conspicuous sites are the two pillars which, with the two others beside the twin pulpits, sustain the vault of the main chapel. The one on the Gospel side has a statue of the mysterious Shepherd of Las Navas—thought by some to have been an apparition of St. Isidore the Farm-Hand, Patron of Madrid—who showed King Alfonso the Good the secret mountain pass that enabled the Christian army to win the decisive victory of the Reconquest at Navas de Tolosa in 1212, and who vanished after showing the path to the leaders; the statue is said to have been made from a rough sketch drawn by the king himself. And in the corresponding position on the Epistle-side pillar stands the Moslem who won the great victory of renunciation and peace.

  • Manifiesto De La Alhambra English
    Fernando Chueca Goitia and others The Alhambra Manifesto (1953) Translated by Jacob Moore Word Count: 2,171 Source: Manifiesto de la Alhambra (Madrid, Dirección General de Arquitectura, 1953). Republished as El Manifiesto de la Alhambra: 50 años después: el monumento y la arquitectura contemporánea, ed. Ángel Isac, (Granada: Patronato de la Alhambra y Generalife, Consejería de Cultura, Junta de Andalucía : Tf Editores, 2006) 356-375. We, the signers of this Manifesto, do not want to be pure iconoclasts, for we are already too weary of such abrupt and arbitrary turns. So people will say: “Why the need for a Manifesto, a term which, almost by definition, implies a text that is dogmatic and revolutionary, one that breaks from the past, a public declaration of a new credo?” Simply put, because reality, whose unequivocal signs leave no room for doubt, is showing us that the ultimate traditionalist posture, which architecture adopted after the war of Liberation, can already no longer be sustained and its tenets are beginning to fall apart. […] Today the moment of historical resurrections has passed. There is no use denying it; just as one cannot deny the existence of the Renaissance in its time or that of the nineteenth century archaeological revivals. The arts have tired of hackneyed academic models and of cold, lifeless copies, and seek new avenues of expression that, though lacking the perfection of those that are known, are more radical and authentic. But one must also not forget that the peculiar conditions implicit in all that is Spanish require that, within the global historical movement, we move forward, we would not say with a certain prudence, but yes, adjusting realities in our own way.

  • Functionalism and Caprice in Stonecutting. the Case of the Nativity Chapel in Burgos Cathedral
    Proceedings of the Third International Congress on Construction History, Cottbus, May 2009 Functionalism and Caprice in Stonecutting. The Case of the Nativity Chapel in Burgos Cathedral Miguel Ángel Alonso Rodríguez, Ana López Mozo, José Carlos Palacios Gonzalo, Enrique Rabasa Díaz Technical University of Madrid, Spain José Calvo-López Polytechnic University of Cartagena, Spain Alberto Sanjurjo Álvarez San Pablo-CEU University, Madrid, Spain ABSTRACT: Starting from the inaugural text of Philibert de L'Orme, stereotomic treatises and manuscripts are subject to the opposing forces of reason and fancy. The Nativity Chapel in Burgos Cathedral provides an outstanding case study on this subject. It was built in 1571-1582 by Martín de Bérriz and Martín de la Haya, using an oval vault resting on trumpet squinches to span a rectangular bay. Bed joints and rib axes are not planar curves, as usual in oval vaults. This warping is not capricious; we shall argue that it is the outcome of a systematic tracing method. As a result of this process, the slope of the bed joints increases slightly in the first courses, but stays fairly constant after the third course; this solution prevents the upper courses from slipping. Thus, in the Nativity Chapel of Burgos Cathedral, the constraints of masonry construction fostered a singular solution verging on capriccio. It is also worthwhile to remark that the warping of the joints is not easily appreciable to the eye and that the tracing process does not seem to start from a previous conception of the resulting form. All this suggests that we should be quite careful when talking about the whimsical character of Late Gothic and Early Renaissance; in some occasions, apparent caprice is the offspring of practical thinking.

  • The Acoustics of the Choir in Spanish Cathedrals
    acoustics Article The Acoustics of the Choir in Spanish Cathedrals Alicia Alonso * , Rafael Suárez and Juan J. Sendra Instituto Universitario de Arquitectura y Ciencias de la Construcción, Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura, Universidad de Sevilla, Seville 41012, Spain; [email protected] (R.S.); [email protected] (J.J.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-954-559-51 Received: 13 November 2018; Accepted: 4 December 2018; Published: 6 December 2018 Abstract: One of the most significant enclosures in worship spaces is that of the choir. Generally, from a historical point of view, the choir is a semi-enclosed and privileged area reserved for the clergy, whose position and configuration gives it a private character. Regarding the generation and transformation of ecclesial interior spaces, the choir commands a role of the first magnitude. Its shape and location produce, on occasions, major modifications that significantly affect the acoustics of these indoor spaces. In the case of Spanish cathedrals, whose design responds to the so-called “Spanish type”, the central position of the choir, enclosed by high stonework walls on three of its sides and with numerous wooden stalls inside, breaks up the space in the main nave, thereby generating other new spaces, such as the trascoro. The aim of this work was to analyse the acoustic evolution of the choir as one of the main elements that configure the sound space of Spanish cathedrals. By means of in situ measurements and simulation models, the main acoustic parameters were evaluated, both in their current state and in their original configurations that have since disappeared.

  • The Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo De El Escorial
    The Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial The Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial was built by Philip II in the 16th century and served as a royal palace, monastery and necropolis for numerous Spanish kings. The “El Escorial” is one of the most important visitor sites in Spain. Philip II wished to commemorate the Spanish victory in the battle of St. Quentin, fought on August 10th 1557 on St. Lawrence’s day. As Philip II was devoted to this Saint he decided to build the monastery as a royal pantheon. The king decided to found a religious institution to house the pantheon of his entire dynasty, together with a place of worship, a royal palace, a community of Hieronymite monks, a seminary and a library. The Monastery took twenty-one years to be built (from 1563 to 1584). In the beginning the work was directed by Juan Bautista de Toledo, but following Toledo’s premature death in 1567, his pupil Juan de Herrera began to excel as supervisor of the works. Herrera took over the direction and changed it somewhat into his own personal style. THE ROYAL MAUSOLEUM Philip II wanted to build a crypt below the High Altar, destined for a Royal Pantheon. But he died before his wish was accomplished, and it was his son, Philip III, who fulfilled his father’s desire. Works started in 1617 under the direction of the architect Juan Gómez de Mora. On his death, the work was already well advanced but the project remained unfinished for twenty-two years.

  • El Triunfo De Fernando Vii En El Escorial Y Aranjuez
    EN VÍSPERAS DE LA GUERRA. EL TRIUNFO DE FERNANDO VII EN EL ESCORIAL Y ARANJUEZ Emilio LA PARRA LÓPEZ Universidad de Alicante É R E Z Galdós dio el título de «El 19 de marzo y el 2 de mayo» al tercero de sus Episodios Nacionales de la prime- ra serie, la dedicada al tiempo de la Guerra de la Indepen- dencia. Una vez más, el gran escritor mostraba su habili- dad para captar el significado de los acontecimientos que se proponía relatar. A finales de los años setenta del siglo X I X, cuando apareció la novela, el 2 de mayo era fecha señalada y mítica para los lectores de Galdós, pero el escritor no quiso limitarse a este hecho y ya en la cubierta de su libro llamó la atención sobre la relevancia del 19 de marzo precedente. Sin dar cuenta de lo ocurrido ese día no era posible ofrecer una interpretación de la actua- ción de los españoles en esa coyuntura, que el novelista consideró esencial en el proceso de construcción de la España contemporánea. Galdós preten- dió, en suma, establecer una relación directa y patente entre el 19 de marzo (fecha del acceso al trono de Fernando VII, en medio de la conmo- ción del motín de Aranjuez) y la actuación de los madrileños el 2 de mayo de 1808. Pérez Galdós estaba en lo cierto. Sin «la revolución de Aranjuez», como la denominaron muchos de los contemporáneos, no se puede ofrecer una expli- cación sólida de la reacción de los españoles contra Napoleón dos meses más tarde, la cual condujo, a su vez, a una auténtica revolución política, desarrolla- da por las Cortes de Cádiz.

Seven cathedrals in the southern half of Spain have been included in the survey, thereby covering a wide range of reverberation-time values from 4.32 s in Murcia cathedral to 8.96 s in Cadiz cathedral at mid-frequencies. These cathedrals present a common architectural typology, known as the "Spanish style", which allows similar source-receiver points to be selected when comparisons are made between two different cathedrals. The tests were carried out in the listening room of the Acoustics Laboratory of the Applied Physics II Department of the School of Architecture of the University of Seville. Several types of anechoic sound signals (choral pieces, extracts of Baroque instrumental music, and a speech) were auralised with the impulse responses measured in the cathedrals to be used in the tests.
