I have only seen the Cathedral of Monreale in Sicily once, many years ago. But it remains one of the most striking memories I have. Those who have seen it know that the resplendent twelfth century mosaics have brought the Bible to life for generations of Christians.Sandro Magister reports on a project that will be televised, beginning this Sunday, and then made available on You Tube, using the Monreale mosaics as portals to a deeper understanding of the Church’s faith.

 

Robert P. Imbelli, a priest of the Archdiocese of New York, has contributed to Commonweal for fifty years. A selection of his essays and reviews, some of which first appeared in Commonweal, has been published as Christ Brings All Newness (Word on Fire Academic).
