Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery
Benedictine Art
The arts have always been a traditional part of Benedictine life, as chapter 57 "Of the Craftsman of the Monastery," in the Rule of Benedict clearly attests. In Benedictine tradition, art in the community has been fostered as serving a spiritual need.
St. Benedict admonishes, "let them exercise their crafts with all humility and reverence." (RB57).The work of the scribe has a long history that includes not only copying of scripture but also illuminating the pages with icons and decorative flourishes.
All of our items are created in this tradition of Benedictine life....
All the items for sale can be purchased at the Monastery or online.
Each item is handcrafted by our Benedictine community by a one of our Oblates and a master carpenter.
