# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Living Stones: Art & Spirituality at the Jesuits' Church
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 15 Oct, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Thu, 15 Oct, 2026 at 07:30 pm (+02:00)
- **Event Description**: The Public Lecture programme at ‘The Oratories’ opens with a special roaming lecture around the Jesuits’ Church complex by Pietre Vive Malta. This special lecture goes beyond mere history, and presents the space as a living sacred space.

Ignatian spirituality places a special focus on the use of imagination, making the Jesuits natural patrons of the arts from the start of their mission in Malta and worldwide. The places they erected thus reflect this mindset, including the strong link with the Virgin Mary, who was so central to the spiritual journey of St. Ignatius and to the society he founded. 

The event will take the form of a guided itinerary, to delve into how the Jesuits' use of imagination, image and sacred space are embodied in the Jesuits' Church and its oratories.

Kindly note that some small  areas might not be accessible to people using mobility vehicles.


BIO-NOTE:

Pietre Vive - or  Living Stones - is an international communion of Ignatian youth communities who seek to announce Jesus Christ and the beauty of the Church to those who look for the beauty of Christian monuments and churches. They do this through common moments of prayer and art-historical formation to offer itineraries for visitors at such sites which explore and facilitate the encounter with the faith behind this beauty. The Pietre Vive community in Malta offers its service at the Jesuits’ Church and at St. John’s Co-Cathedral.
