Passage to Damascus
April 16, 2005
11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

In the Middle Ages, Damascus was a center for cultural
interchange and learning as pilgrims traveled from all
over to one of the oldest
cities in the world. Come join the Shire of Roxbury
Mill for our second annual Library Demo: Passage to
Damascus (Maryland). Help promote a love of history
and reading among children of all ages.

We are looking for live demonstrations of performing
arts and daily activities (such as spinning or
weaving), as well as static displays of the
accoutrements which would have been familiar to people
of the Middle Ages. (Please keep in mind the very
young ages of our audience when deciding what items to
bring.)

In addition, there will be an A&S competition with a
prize of $25 store credit at The Spanish Peacock! (
http://www.spanishpeacock.com ) Since Damascus had
such a long and international history, any medium,
time period, or nationality is welcome. Documentation
is not required, but highly encouraged. Extra points
will be awarded for documentation which is geared
towards the age group of the audience.

And of course, we need fighters! The siege of Damascus
was a highlight of the Second Crusade, and here is a
chance for all fighters to come strut their stuff for
an adoring audience. Pageantry and pomp is highly
encouraged!

For more information or to volunteer, please contact
