Princeton Ethiopian, Eritrean and Egyptian Miracles of Mary (PEMM) Project

The Virgin Mary is the world's most storied person. For two millennia, countless stories have been told about the miracles the Mother of Jesus Christ has performed for the faithful who call upon her name. Africans were among the first to compose stories about her and over the centuries folk tellers from Egypt, Nubia, and Ethiopia have written 1,000 short, meaningful narratives about her and healing, reparative justice, and personal ethics in a violent world. Africans have also painted her for centuries. Together, these stories constitute a body of literature that many people believe doesn't exist--written African literature from before the arrival of Europeans. Come learn about these stories and paintings, which are the subject of the Princeton Ethiopian, Eritrean, and Egyptian Miracles of Mary (PEMM) digital humanities project at pemm.princeton.edu. --- Event Details: https://my.princeton.edu/rsvp?id=1954913
