Saint Paul Winter CarnivalJan. 28 - Feb. 7

Since 1886, the Saint Paul Winter Carnival celebrates all things cold, and over 11 days in January and February, Landmark Center is home to several indoor options, should families need a quick warm up.

Starting Jan. 28, two exhibits will be on display inside Landmark Center for the duration of the festival. The “History on Ice: Winter Carnival Ice Palaces Display” is a collection of miniature models of past ice palaces, and the “Winter Carnival Memorabilia Display” showcases treasures from years past–from buttons to vintage costumes and everything in-between. The memorabilia display will be in Landmark Center’s North Gallery, and the ice palace display will be on the east side of the Musser Cortile. Both displays are open every day of Winter Carnival, 9 am - 4 pm.

Jan. 30, at 8 am is the return of the Annual Jigsaw Puzzle Contest. Grab your friends, or come with your family, and watch as teams of four are given a 500 piece puzzle to put together in under two and a half hours. Registration is limited to 70 teams, and the fastest three teams win prizes. The deadline to register is mid-January. Winter Carnival cont. on pg. 2

The Rose Ensemble LectureFeb. 17; Courtroom 317; 12 pm; Free

Join The Rose Ensemble for a lecture with guest speaker, Professor Yossi Maurey, from Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and musical demonstrations by Ensemble members.

The Sainte-Chapelle chapel, built by the French King, Louis IX was intended to house his collection of Passion relics, including Christ’s Crown of Thorns and fragments of the True Cross—the most important relics in medieval Christendom. For centuries after its consecration in 1248, this architectural masterpiece was also home to some of the most exquisite medieval and Renaissance vocal music ever written. Professor Maurey will speak about King Louis IX, the origins and history of Sainte-Chapelle and its relics, and their relationship and impact on the musical elements of the liturgy.
