San Marco museum inaugurates new Sala Beato Angelico

The celebrated Florentine museum was
founded in 1869 and has always prominently featured the art of Fra Angelico. It remains inextricably linked with the founding father of the Early Renaissance in Florence. The spacious hall was originally laid out between 1918 and 1921 and was first known as the "Pilgrim Hospice" and subsequently simply as the "Hospice"
.
New structural elements, a subtle colour scheme and state-of-the-art lighting breathe fresh life into the
16 masterpieces by the Dominican friar and artist Fra Angelico that have now been displayed chronologically and with consideration given to their size in relation to the vastness of the hall. Works include the

Restoration of the casket with the relics of St Francis Xavier begins in Goa

By Nirmala Carvalho
The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) will begin work to restore the Mastrillian Casket, which contains the relics of St Francis Xavier, starting Dec 10, said Fr Patricio Fernandes, SJ, Rector of the Basilica of Bom Jesus in Goa. The Basilica will thus be closed for visitors.
The Silver Casket containing the relics of St Francis Xavier was brought in procession from St Paul's College on 19 February 1624 to the Basilica of Bom Jesus two years after he was declared saint and patron of Goa.
Fr Marcello Mastrilli, who miraculously revived from death through the intercession of St Francis Xavier, came to Goa in December 1635 on his way to Japan. Upon seeing the Silver Casket, he ordered a new silver covering for the coffin, which was completed by 2 December 1637, in time for the saint’s feast day.
