商品簡介
Does the soul not yearn for a beauty that does not wither, and a truth that the modern world cannot silence?
Deep within the silent, salt-misted lagoons of Venice stands a sentinel of stone and gold that has outlasted empires and survived the tides of a thousand years. The Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta is more than a mere building; it is the "Mother of Venice," a sacred vessel of Byzantine majesty that holds the very DNA of our Holy Mother Church. In an age of fleeting shadows, this sanctuary remains an unshakeable testament to the Eternal.
Step inside a world where the walls are alive with the shimmering light of millions of glass tesserae, each one placed to the glory of the Almighty. This book invites you on a spiritual journey through the hallowed aisles of Torcello, revealing the profound theological mysteries hidden within its world-renowned mosaics. You will stand beneath the gaze of the Virgin Hodegetria and face the awesome reality of the Last Judgment, written in gold and fire upon the ancient stone.
This is not merely a history for the academic, but a pilgrimage for the faithful who remember the reverence of our ancestors. It is a story of bishops who built in the face of invasion, of artists who captured the Divine in glass, and of a faith so resilient that the gates of Hell-and the rising tides of the sea-could not prevail against it. You will feel the cool marble of the 11th-century floors and hear the echoes of Gregorian chants that have saturated these walls for over a millennium.
Return to the roots of the faith and rediscover the splendor that was meant to lift the heart toward the Heavens. "Glass and Grace" provides a detailed, fact-filled, and deeply prayerful exploration of one of the most significant holy sites in Christendom. It is a call to remember where we came from, so that we may better understand where we are going in our walk with Christ.
Can you hear the stones of Torcello calling you back to the sacred?
