The Christian concept of service as the highest expression of faith and love is the central theme that will guide the next temporary exhibition at the Sanctuary of Fatima.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organised into seven thematic sections, the exhibition, which also marks the centenary of the Association of Servites of Our Lady of Fatima (Servitas), is entitled \u2018Serving, the Only Preaching\u2019 and will be open on the lower floor of the Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity until 15 October 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a dialogue between ancient and contemporary works of art, the exhibition will highlight the mission of service as the central link between God, the Church and humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Why is this exhibition revolutionary? Because – even more so in times of dehumanisation – it reaffirms to the visitor that it is only possible to love one’s neighbour when human beings are able to conjugate the verb \u2018to serve\u2019. This is where the glorious face of Christ can be glimpsed, as the History and Message of Fatima itself emphasise,’ explains the director of the Sanctuary Museum and curator of the exhibition, Marco Daniel Duarte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition proposes a profound and innovative reflection on figures who symbolise total self-giving to others through words and actions, \u2018with the examples of Christ himself, Mary, the Angels, different saints and ordinary men and women, in most cases unknown and ignored by the media\u2019, combining works of art and historical documents to highlight altruism for the benefit of others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the exhibition \u2018Serving, the Only Preaching\u2019, the public will be able to see works by renowned and promising contemporary Portuguese artists, covering various disciplines such as sculpture, painting, tapestry and jewellery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition brings together pieces by masters such as Artur Bual, Laranjeira Santos, Jorge Barradas, Ana Lima-Netto, Jo\u00e3o de Sousa Ara\u00fajo, Luiz Cunha, Ant\u00f3nio Teixeira Lopes, Clara Men\u00e9res, Paulo Neves, Pedro Calapez, L\u00edgia Rodrigues and Pedro Leit\u00e3o, as well as new creations made especially for this exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the works on display will be a fragment of a tomb from 1383, a life-size replica of the pulpit of the Monastery of Santa Cruz in Coimbra, and the platform of Our Lady used in the processions to F\u00e1tima until a few years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sacred art exhibition offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the importance of Christian service in today’s society, while taking visitors through the history and mission of the Servites. After the opening on 30 November, the exhibition can be visited daily from 9:00 to 13:30 and 14:00 to 17:30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7279,"template":"","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/caminhosdefatima.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/7277"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/caminhosdefatima.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/caminhosdefatima.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/caminhosdefatima.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/caminhosdefatima.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
