Christendom in Spain and Portugal: Fatima and the Best of Catholic Spain
 Christendom
College professors, Dr. Jonathan Reyes and Dr. Christopher Blum, will
be directing a three- week summer study program, from May 26-June 15,
that begins in Fatima, Portugal, and includes such great Spanish cities
as Avila, Toledo, Segovia, Burgos, Madrid and Salamanca.
This directed tour
will include lectures on Spanish political histor y,
as well as Spanish cultural history. Participants will be able to read
one of the greatest plays of the Spanish Golden Age of Literature beneath
the Roman and medieval walls of Avila. They'll view the works of Velasquez,
El Greco and Morillo at the Prado Art Museum in Madrid and see the Valle
de los Caidos, the great monument built by Francisco Franco to honor the
Spanish Civil War dead. They will attend Mass in the Incarnacion Monastery,
where St. John of the Cross heard St. Teresa of Avila's confessions, and
they will spend a night in the Plaza Mayor of Salamanca, the greatest
and oldest university town in Spanish history.
For more information

ext. 326. A flyer containing the details will be available in the near
future.
