Altars, Shrines, and Amulets: Worship and Devotion with Physical Objects
In Christianity and in many other religious traditions, devotion often has a material aspect to it. Actual physical objects, when they are not worshipped themselves, help facilitate the worship of a nonmaterial deity. Gay Schempp, the curator of a traveling exhibition called “Altars, Shrines, and Amulets,” and Dennis Bradbury, the owner of the 22 Haviland Street Gallery where the exhibition will be on display in South Norwalk, preview the exhibition and discuss the varying ways in which physical objects can contribute to religious worship and personal devotion
