Last week Gregory DiPippo had a post on the New Liturgical Movement
about a current exhibition at the Louvre of treasures from the Abbey of
St Maurice in Canton Valais in Switzerland. The abbey is on the site of
the martyrdom of St Maurice and the Theban Legion.
The
items have not been on display outside the abbey previously, and,
judging from those pictured in his post, are very fine indeed and
precious survivals. Once again we get a fleeting glimpse of the artistic
achievements of past centuries and some idea of what once existed but
which in so many cases has been destroyed. The abbey of St Maurice has
been fortunate to preserve such items. The post, with its pictures, can be seen at Treasures of the Abbey of St. Maurice at the Louvre.
