Arts and Humanities Lecture: Gertrude’s Little Bed

Celebrate scholarship and creativity at the Arts and Humanities lecture on Tuesday, April 14, at 4:30 p.m. in Rhodes S203.

Susan Wade (History) will present “Gertrude’s Little Bed: The Creation of Sacred Relics from Mundane Objects in the Early Middle Ages,” a paper that examines how the little bed of Saint Gertrude of Nivelles became a saintly relic and opens new ground in our understanding of the importance of seeing to medieval spiritual belief. Cookies and punch will be served.
