The event, scheduled for 9:00 PM in the museum's Sala 0, will delve into the historical and spiritual significance of this symbol, which is deeply rooted in Benedictine tradition and local pilgrimage customs. The talk will be led by the museum's management as part of their ongoing efforts to promote the town's anthropological heritage.
The Saint Benedict medal, which has been present in Europe since at least the 11th century, gained significant prominence starting in the 17th century. Museum representatives emphasize that the medal holds both religious and cultural value, as its meaning has evolved over centuries to reflect the spiritual and social needs of different eras.
This initiative is part of the museum's thematic lecture series, which has previously covered key elements of El Cerro de Andévalo's collective identity, including traditional costumes, music, and dance associated with local festivities. The program aims to bring the town's cultural legacy closer to both residents and visitors.
