Performance/Exhibition Report
For the final exhibition report I went to The National Shrine: Grotto of Lourdes. Being of Catholic religion, I have visited this area before. This is a spectacular exhibit that was a real delight. It's a serene walk in the woods passed several statues, markers, shrines, etc. There are stations of the cross and many biblical sayings. There are benches where you can stop to pray or meditate. It's very low-keyed. . There's a chapel which holds different services at various times. With the surrounding woods, it was nice to move at your own pace. Others passed by but they were very quiet and respectful. I would recommend to anyone wanted to lift their spiritual side. The Grotto has been established in Emmitsburg in 1805. In the year 1728, a group of Catholics left St. Mary's City in Maryland, and traveled westward seeking peace and religious freedom. After the Revolution and the constitutional grant of religious freedom, Father John Dubois, a refugee priest from France, came to this area. This priest, who later became Bishop of New York, was appointed pastor of Frederick in 1794. On St. Mary's Mount he built, St. Mary's Ch
They tell stories and also contain scenes from the Bible. It is a statue of Mary, and the Grotto of Lourdes honors Mary throughout the artwork and churches. I would compare The National Shrine of Lourdes to The Place of Versailles. The flowers present a delightful smell and the churches are comfortable and pleasant. All the religious artifacts here are bright and descriptive. The art works on the walls are all religious and sentimental. In conclusion, I enjoyed this venue and plan to visit again. Candles burned and illuminated the ceiling and the cross that stood at the front of the church. The sculpture does imply movement; the arms are open, inviting Catholics to come. The people are kind and there are priests and monks located throughout the establishment. There are several arts located in this area, but I am going to describe the sculpture element of it. Although the Palace of Versailles covers more area, the Grotto covers large vicinity as well. My personal opinion of the Grotto is that, it is a stunning success. For over a century this church was a beacon calling the faithful to Mass from the Valley and a reminder to them to keep the Faith.
