LISTENING TO THE WORD.
The ambo and the evangeliarium: art, architecture and liturgy

MONDAY, 20 JUNE 2022

2.30 pm | Bologna Fiere | Spazio Arena

The conference will be in Italian

Since ancient times, two were the things that have received a particular attention and that have embraced precious iconographies - images full of fascinating symbolic meanings. By saying so, we are referring to the ambo, the place where the Word is proclaimed, and the evangeliarium, the liturgical book used for the Gospel proclamation. It often happened that precious miniatures were realised on evangeliariums and those miniatures were not only effective illustrations of the Gospel text, but at the same time, they offered deep interpretations of it. During the convention LISTENING TO THE WORD, we want to reflect on iconographies of some old evangeliariums, but we also want to put a particular attention to the Rossano’s Purpura Codex, which copy will be displayed during the days of the Devotio exhibition. A second major aspect of reflection is about the ambo. We want to give a particular attention to its inauguration during the dedication rite of the Church and in the general system of the Roman Missal. The ambo has always had an important and relevant position, not only on the planning of new churches, but also on liturgical adaptations. In a word, it has always had a great solemnity in relation to other liturgical elements of the celebration.
