The Art of Illumination

Praying the Hours, A Litany of Time

(2-week series)

During the Middle Ages, The Belles Heures of the Duc du Berry was commissioned by Jean de France. Called a Book of Hours, this type of devotional book contained illuminated images from the life of the Virgin Mary as a meditational focus for prayer.

Using material from contemporary Books of Hours and images from the elegantly illuminated manuscripts of The Belles Heures, we will explore the history of praying the hours, the use of art as an opening to the sacred, and the relevancy of this ancient practice in our modern lives.

Mar 28 and Apr 4 (W), 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.
