Art as a Pilgrimage
Presented by Father Jerome Tupa, O.S.B.
This Triduum, join us for a pilgrimage. Not a pilgrimage with miles of walking on well-worn trails but a pilgrimage of the mind and spirit through the medium of art. Art has a fascinating ability to take us on a journey beyond our immediate experience and surroundings, causing us to pause and demanding our reflection. It inspires us to ask about the original object, to look through the art and painting to feel something of that place for ourselves. Thus, as we journey through this year’s Paschal Mysteries, we will let art guide us on this Triduum pilgrimage.
