Sixth Sunday in Lent (Palm Sunday)

For this Palm Sunday entry, I continue the focus on the contributions to Christianity of the Blessed Alcuin of Y0rk, the brilliant English deacon chosen as spiritual advisor by the Frankish king Charles, who become the first H0ly Roman Emperor since the sack of Rome in the 5th C. on Christmas Day, 800 A.D. Although images of Alcuin are very rare, there is ample proof of the impact he had upon the spread of Christianity across Western Europe. I found a reminder in my notes for the Excel database of images in the AIC archive concerning the Moutier-Grandval Bible, made under Alcuin’s supervision ..read more

Alcuin of York and Charlemagne

In this week’s Blog posting I offer an additional image of the Blessed Alcuin of York. I had noted last week that I had found only one image of Alcuin; but, in continuing work on the AIC database of images, I found another one. In this image, painted in 1830 by French artist Jean-Victor Schnetz, known for his representations of historic scenes, Alcuin, kneeling before the imperial throne, appears to be presenting a document or item to the Emperor. The original is at the Louvre, Paris, France. Charlemagne, and Alcuin, deserve greater recognition in the 21st C. for the contributions they made to ..read more

Apologies to site visitors for not getting promised posting on Alcuin of York last week. An opportunity arose at midweek for a week-long stay in Frisco, NC. I admit that, having left home rather suddenly, I forgot to put my iMac charger in my carryall along with the Mac itself and other materials. The effect was that I couldn’t produce the Weekly Update on Friday or the Fr. Ron’s Blog entry. Although it rained a lot, the time was well-spent and very restful, free of the computer and cell phone interruptions. In today’s highly-secularized world the knowledge of Church history is lamentable but ..read more

The Season of Lent & a Confession

The process on updating the database of images in the AIC Library had to be interrupted this past week in order to update the Welcome page for the start of the season of Lent. The seasonal graphic and links to the three episodes in the video series are now active. I also wanted to remind readers/viewers of St. John Chrysostom’s advice to his parishioners at Constantinople in the late 4th C. that, in considering what sacrifice one might make for the season of Lent. He suggested that rather than abstaining from certain foods one might also consider restraining the tongue during the six weeks of ..read more

Today in Virginia has been strange. Wet. Chilly. Cloudy. And offering home of the Spring soon to some. I am thankful not to have needed to go outside for any reason, having brought in a seat of Duraflame fire logs yesterday! Today’s Gospel reading is Luke’s account of the healing of the Blind Man of Jericho, as a last example of “manifestations” to the Gentiles in the “Gesima” season. This morning, I was working on further work on the computer database of images and came across a marvellous 11th C. addition to the Hagia Sophia. The image, in its original form, shows the Blessed Virgin Mary an ..read more
