Our Q & A Continues With Peter Arnold, Christian Fiction Suspense Thriller Author, "Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story" (NEW eBook Debuted, July 2, 2024)
Heaven's Doorway Press - Q & A (#23) with author, Peter Arnold:
Question: Peter, we continue today with our conversation on the seven monasteries devoted to the Archangel Saint Michael. What insight can you share with us about the fourth stop, "Sacra di San Michele" in the Piedmont area of Italy?
"As you can see above, the ancient monastery, 'Sacra di San Michele' is reminiscent of a scene from 'Lord of the Rings,' an ethereal, enigmatic towering sacred citadel. Not only for J.R.R. Tolkien fans, but for Umberto Eco aficionados, (author of 'The Name of the Rose),' reportedly based the setting of his novel's monastery after a visit to "Sacra di San Michele.'"
Question: Peter, is it true the pinnacle of 'Sacra di San Michele," is a miracle by its nature according to legend?
"Similar to other famous edifices motivated by divinely inspired visions, Saint John Vincent whose devotion to Archangel Saint Michael, urged him to build on the mountain. Miraculously, even the building materials he collected were somehow mystically transported to the top of Mount Pirchiriano. The edifice monumentally expanded under the Benedictine Order for hundreds of years."
Question: What other 'secrets' does the "Sacra di San Michele" hold?
"The secrets are hidden eternally within its sacred walls. However, there are beautiful treasures to behold. There was a notable scriptorium which produced magnificent rare sacred manuscripts. One of the most famous, was created in 1315, 'The Breviary of San Michele della Chiusa.'
