Table of the Mascarella (c.a. 1240)

 

The theme for the 8th jubilee celebration of the death of St. Dominic is “At Table with St. Dominic”. This is inspired by the Mascarella Table, the table on which the first portrait of St. Dominic was painted shortly after his canonization. Thus, we will celebrate St. Dominic not as a saint alone on a pedestal, but a very human saint who enjoys table fellowship with his brothers and sisters, sharing God’s gift of food and drink.
