LAMB OF GOD

Screening of the film Lamb of God



In the heart of Rome, behind the walls of an ancient Benedictine monastery, a group of cloistered nuns preserves a centuries-old tradition: the weaving of lamb’s wool to create the pallium, the precious liturgical vestment offered to the Pope and metropolitan archbishops. Agnus Dei leads us inside the monastery, into a world suspended between silence and chant, prayer and work. Through ancient and skilled gestures, the nuns spin, weave, and embroider with a devotion that transcends time. But their life is not only sacred craftsmanship: with the same care they make jams and shape Easter candles. Every activity is an offering, every intertwined thread a silent prayer.
