MONASTERE DE CHEVETOGNE, Ardennes Belgium

I am glad I made the big detour to this Benedictine monastery consecrated as recently as 1957. The entire inside was painted over 7 years by Greek artists (all the script is in Greek). The nave is Old Testament with saints under bible stories and the altar area is New Testament. Unfortunately the altar portion was full of scaffold as the paintings were being cleaned. I talked to a South African monk who told me some of the story. There was a conference being given by a Hindu and I listened in for an hour. The audience was assiduously taking notes on this man’s view of Hinduism and Christianity. I would have loved to ask questions.
