Christ­mas Lec­tu­re: The Three Wise Men at the Crib

Despi­te the limi­t­ed texts in the Gos­pels, the events sur­roun­ding the Incar­na­ti­on of the Rede­emer are a cen­tral the­me in Chris­ti­an art.

This year’s lec­tu­re is dedi­ca­ted to the Three Wise Men. The star that led the kings to Beth­le­hem, the lavish sple­ndor of the roy­al robes, and the pre­cious gifts for the divi­ne Child have always fasci­na­ted and found admi­ra­ti­on among peo­p­le of all cen­tu­ries. The ran­ge of the resul­ting abun­dance of images spans from the 3rd to the 18th cen­tu­ry.

Allow this fasci­na­ti­on to work its magic on you through the con­tem­pla­ti­on of sel­ec­ted, famous, and artis­ti­cal­ly out­stan­ding works from all art epochs on this the­me.

The lec­tu­re will be given by Dr. Eli­sa­beth Bren­ner.
Tickets are available in the monas­tery shop. No regis­tra­ti­on requi­red.
Mee­ting point: 2 PM in front of the monas­tery shop
