About this Event

If you need a contemplative season, it’s winter. If you need a contemplative space, it might be a place of worship; it might be the corner barstool. If you contemplate saints, do you ever imagine them in archival boxes?

Join us Monday, February 17th at 3:00 pm at the Wicked Monk for Barchives 24: Spirits and Relics. Kick back amidst stained glass and architectural features sourced from a 19th-century Irish monastery while archivist Amy Surak (Manhattan College) describes their collections of saints' relics and bones. How did these sacred objects end up in a Bay Ridge bar and boxes in the Bronx? Don’t overthink it— spend your afternoon with Barchives and all will be explained.
