2024 Celestial Company: A Journey to Holy Sinai's Plain
Saturday, September 7, 2024| 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
During the “Era of Manifestations” in the 1830s and 1840s, the Shakers rediscovered the religious fervor that had characterized their earliest years in America. This outpouring of spiritual gifts – including thousands of new hymns and “gift” songs – enriched and energized life at Pleasant Hill, suffusing the whole community with the feeling of divine presence. Religious services expanded beyond the physical walls of the Meeting House to include new sacred spaces throughout the community, as well as new forms of worship.
Join us for a special guided experience as we follow in the Shakers’ footsteps and journey to “Holy Sinai’s Plain,” their outdoor worship space or "feast ground" located south of the village. Music infused all aspects of Shaker life, and the walk will be augmented by vocal performances by one of our Music Interpreters along with historical context, including readings from archival journals and records.
