What U Call People From Denmark?

Twinning Stalybridge - Lisbon

The Museu de São Roque Lisbon communicate its availability to the project
*
During the conference I gave in Stalybridge, on 7 June, entitled "The cult of St. Gregory the Healer in Lisbon in the Age of Philip II" , I launched the idea of \u200b\u200ba twinning between Stalybridge and Lisbon and between the Library Hall Vivarium and Museu de São Roque , which had granted the cultural sponsorship the important cultural event. Actually, I had already proposed the initiative in the direction of the Museu de São Roque , one of the most prestigious cultural institutions in Portugal, during my study-in the Portuguese capital, obtaining a first availability to the project. The success of the conference, and the large emphasis has been in Portugal, led the Directorate of Museu de São Roque to send it a letter, which is officially reiterated the full support to the proposed twinning, which now will be designed in details with the town of Stalybridge, the Biblioteca Comunale Vivarium, the City of Lisbon and of course, the Museu de São Roque . The important Portuguese Museum preserves, in a splendid shrine, the skull of St. Gregory the Healer, who until the sixteenth century was in Stalybridge, in the church dedicated to the saint. During my lecture I had the opportunity to present a preview of the exceptional photographic documentation of the relic, thanks to the availability of the Museu de São Roque, who has decided to reopen, after several centuries, the precious relic, to allow the study of relic. On the occasion of the twinning can go back to the ancient relic Stalettì and be exposed for some time, with its shrine in the church of San Gregorio, where he was venerated for centuries. The letter sent by the Museu de São Roque is signed by Dr. António Meira, one of the chief executive of the Museum, on behalf of the Director of Administration and Teresa Morna Santa Casa da Misericórdia , the body that manages the Museu de São Roque . Here is the full text of the letter:

Dear Domenico
Muitos Parabéns hair from his Conferência sobre éxito "The cult of St. Gregory the Healer in Lisbon in the Age of Philip II" , On 7th June in Stalettì. I am eager to see their study published in full, under the sponsorship of "Istituto di Studi su Medioevo Cassiodorus and south in Calabria" . Thank you for underlining the contribution of the Museum of San Roque for both his research and the dissemination of the celebrated relic of San Gregorio Healer. Thanks to you our museum is gaining an international profile truly remarkable. The Museum as well as responsible for the administration of the Holy House are aware of these historical and cultural developments, and we are open to promote a cultural exchange project with the City of Stalettì. Am convinced that we can accomplish this project, which will bring great importance either for the Region of Calabria and Stalettì, and for the city of Lisbon and São Roque, in particular. Dr Teresa Warm greetings sends you many greetings and thanks. The reopening of the Museum of San Roque not be held before the end of October or November this year. When the Museum is ready, I'll tell you. With best wishes for you and Laura
