A Virtual Tour of the 2000 May Seminar: Sponsored by the Religion Dept. and Women's Studies Program Brief description Have you ever wanted to worship in or visit a medieval cathedral, experience life in an ancient monastery, or live in a castle? Here is your opportunity! The "Sisters of Faith" May Seminar will explore what life was like in Medieval Europe by encountering the places where Medieval people, especially women, worshipped, prayed, played, fought battles, and experienced miracles! Come join us as we travel through France visiting the most beautiful cathedrals in the world (like Chartres and Notre Dame), tour Paris, retrace the steps of Joan of Arc, see the famous Louvre Museum, and stay in monasteries. In Italy besides visiting the beautiful forests of Tuscany and the home of Clare and Francis of Assisi we will take in the wonders of Rome, the Vatican, and Monte Cassino (one of the oldest monasteries in the world). Also in Italy we will visit the home of one of the most remarkable women of the middle ages, Catherine of Siena. The wonderful city of Siena will enchant us. We will go on from there to the glorious home of Dante, Florence and see some of the most magnificent museums in the world. Finally, in England we will explore London, Buckingham Palace, Canterbury Cathedral, the church of Julian of Norwich, and the tower of London where Henry VIII’s wives lost their heads!
