The Collection of Articles Reliquary of St Valerie
For two years the Society of History of Medieval Art has been studying
the Reliquary of St Valerie (France, 12 th c.) from the State Hermitage
collection. Its work during the first year of studies resulted in a performance
held in the Hermitage Theatre in April 1997. Young actors performed scenes
from lives of saints, chronicles, biographies that are directly or indirectly
connected with the history of the reliquary of St Valerie and with the
events taking place round the reliquary. In April 1998 the School Centre
of the Hermitage organised a conference of the Societies of this Centre
devoted to the reliquary of St Valerie, to the history and art of Medieval
Europe. The reports read at the conference composed the collection of
articles written by 12-13 years old authors.
