Impressive Rites at
Site of Long-Famed
Monastery of Cluny
PARIS.— (NC) — Ceremonies
were held this month in the town
of Cluny in Burgundy to celebrate
the 1,000th anniversary of St.
Odo’s arrival there to become ab
bot of its once famous monastery,
now in ruins.
Pontifical Mass was celebrated
and a procession held in the ruins.
Representatives of the hierarchy,
the government and the French
Academy participated. A scientific
meeting was also held at which
Professor M. K. Conant of Har
vard University was honored. For
ten years Professor Conant has di
rected the excavations which have
been made to recover and save as
many of the abbey’s treasures as
possible. At the meeting Professor
Etienne Gilson, one of the fore
most Catholic scholars of France,
spoke on the history of, Cluny.
The Benedictine Abbey of Cluny
was founded in 910. During the
first 250 years of its existence it
grew in influence and prestige
until, in the 11th and 12th centu
ries, it reached a position second
only to Rome’s as the chief center
of the Christian world. During that
time, besides St. OdO, Saints
Berne, Mayeul, Odile and Hugh
and Peter the Venerable were
among its abbots. Its abbey-church,
built between 1089 and 1132, was
the largest church in the world
until the erection of St. Peter’s in
Rome. Its library was for many
centuries one of the richest and
most important in France.
At the peak of its power, near
ly 1,000 monasteries throughout
all of Europe were dependent on
it. Four of its members became
popes, Gregory VII, Urban II, Pas
chal II and Urban V.
After the 12th century its influ
ence began to decline. It was
partly destroyed in 1562 when it
was sacked by the Huguenots and
many of its treasures, especially
those from its library, were ruin
ed or stolen. In 1790 it was sup
pressed by the revolutionary gov
ernment and later burned by a
mob.
