Thur, Mar 25: MOST HIGHLY FAVOURED LADY: The Annunciation in the Art of our Medieval Churches

Thursday 25th March, 8am EST (1pm London time)

Zoom talk by Canon Jeremy Haselock

From CCT's announcement:

We'll be exploring the development of devotion to the Mystery of the Annunciation, the Cult of the Virgin Mary, and its expression in the art and imagery of medieval parish churches in England. We'll learn about the origin of the legends surrounding the early life and the death of the Virgin Mary and how these, too, found visual expression in the devotional imagery once common in our churches.
