Local artist and Fort Worth Sister Cities member Nancy Lamb will travel to our sister city of Trier, Germany to attend the Pilgrimage of the Holy Robe. Lamb has been invited by the Bishop's Museum of Trier in cooperation with the Fort Worth Gesellschaft of Trier to capture her impressions of the exhibition from her own perspective and cultural background. She and an artist from Bolivia will reflect the experience through their art as part of a review-exhibition in 2013, themed "Bring Together what is Divided" to be displayed at the Bishop's Museum in Trier.
People throughout the world will travel to see the Holy Robe, which is said to have been worn by Jesus on the way to His crucifixion. Christ's Seamless Tunic is Trier Cathedral's best-known treasure. Normally kept covered and protected from light, it is rarely on open display . In the last hundred years, this has taken place three times: in 1933, 1959 and 1996. The event is expected to draw 1 million visitors.
