31 MAY - 1 JUNE 2025In Borgloon's Sint-Odulphuskerk, historian Xavier Lenaers takes you on a fascinating lecture about the suisse - the imposing orderly in the church.

31 MAY - 1 JUNE 2025Standing on the heights of Liège for over a thousand years, the Romanesque church of Saint-Gilles first received the prayers of a community of monks, then those of a parish of miners and finally, today, those of dozens of pilgrims who come to invoke Saint Gilles or to meditate in front of the relics of Blessed Eugénie Joubert. A visit stripped of all encyclopaedic detail, but sprinkled with humour and anecdotes, against a backdrop of popular religion.From top to bottom against a backdrop of popular religion

Using selected examples, this illustrated lecture shows the role of the nobility as church founders and benefactors from the early Middle Ages to the beginning of the Renaissance. The lecture by Michel Margue,... -
