most of the famous kings are famous for their lack of virtue rather than their piety. In this regard‚ King St. Louis IX of France is an exception. This king lived a pious life and has over 65 miracles attributed to his prayerful intercession after his death. Being the only French monarch to receive the title of saint‚ the rift between Louis and an average king is quite a large one. King St. Louis IX became King of France when he was only 12 due to his father’s early death. Although named regent in 1226

St. Louis Blues Bessie Smith and St. Louis Blues are two legends in the blues world‚ separately as well as together. When placed together one could not find a better example of classical blues from the 1920’s. St. Louis Blues is one of the most popular blues songs ever written. William Christopher Hardy wrote this song over 80 years ago. While on a trip to St. Louis‚ Hardy met a tormented black woman. She spoke to him in her deep southern broken English about the loss of her husband to another

Every year‚ for the past five years‚ my church youth group has gone on a mission trip to St. Louis. This mission trip was called The St. Louis Project‚ sponsored by Global Encounter. The St. Louis Project was a week long trip‚ during which you would go and have a kids camp at either a church‚ mobile homes‚ or a park to teach children about God‚ then come back to the “home” church‚ where we slept‚ to have worship services. The first year we went was my seventh grade year‚ there was a small group that

As I walked through the Blacks in Wax Museum I was both upset and happy by what I saw. Going into the slave ship and seeing the slaves being branded like livestock and shackled one on top of the other really brought to life the struggle that the slaves had to endure. I don’t understand how the white people can think of the slaves as less than human‚ and at the same time want to rape the women. The Lynching Exhibit opened my eyes to how cruel people can really be. What hit home was the story of pregnant

Through Joinville’s account of the sixth and seventh crusades in The Life of Saint Louis‚ we are informed about a few of the things that the crusaders learned from their direct contact with these Muslims‚ or ‘Saracens’ as Joinville calls them. In the beginning of Joinville’s account‚ it seems intriguing how he knows so much about the

The art museum is a place that collects and preserves very valuable and profound pieces of art created by some of the most influential artists of all time. Not everyone can understand the emotions and profound ideas that are expressed in old works of art. Only a fraction of all people can really appreciate a fine work of art and understand its true meaning. Many people that go to the art museum do not belong. They do not hold the higher level of education needed to look at a painting and see its

road was a trip down memory lane. I am currently familiar with much of Manchester road and it booming activity. So much has been built and added in the past twenty years. I did not realize how far into the city Manchester went and so it was a new experience for me. Much of Manchester Rd. in the city is very industrial with the train tracks running parallel to the road much of the time. There were trains present.

Art up close and personal is a profound experience that is unique compared to looking at art through a textbook. Art can express emotion‚ have a political meaning‚ portray history‚ and bring people together as not only a community but a generation. Art can change a society‚ and that is one of the reasons I find art compelling. I can lose myself in one painting for hours; forgetting about the world around me. Art can be found outside‚ or inside; art is universal. However‚ after reading Duncan’s "The
