- **Event Description**: Performing Piety: Exploring the Founding and Maintenance of Altars in St John's Kirk of PerthAbout this EventProf Richard Oram  and Dr Lucy DeanSt Johns was attacked on the eve of the Reformation in part due to criticisms of idolatrous practices with statues and figures of saints being a primary target. The plethora of altars that would have crowded St Johns would have supplied much fuel for the Reformers’ fire in this regard. This talk seeks to explore how and why so many altars existed in St Johns by considering who was founding them, which saints were honoured, and what role these altars played in the pre-Reformation performance of piety. In addition to looking at the burgh inhabitants who were founding and maintaining altars, this talk will also offer a case study digging into evidence uncovered in the Perth Charterhouse Project that points to the interconnections between some of the altar foundations in the parish church and the Carthusians housed in the Charterhouse on the edge of the burgh.In doing so, the talk will consider how these altar dedications and the pious performances associated with them offer insights into the complex web of religious practices deeply embedded in Perth’s history came together in St Johns.
