## Resource

In this episode of the Visual Museum Podcast Series, Dr. Sandra Glahn and Dr. Kelley Mathews delve into the extraordinary lives of sisters Praxedes and Pudenziana, celebrated for their unwavering devotion and service. Drawing from the Visual Museum of Women in Christianity, they reveal the enduring visual legacy these women left through stunning mosaics, paintings, and church architecture. The conversation highlights how Praxedes and Pudenziana cared for martyrs and their community, earning deep reverence as saints and faith leaders. Through both art and narrative, Dr. Glahn and Dr. Mathews trace the sisters’ vital connections to Peter, Paul, and their unique place in church history. Visual Museum of Women in Christianity The purpose of this collaborative project is to create a curated, permanent visual exhibit of women in the history, ministry, and piety of early, Byzantine, and medieval Christianity that will be available online for researchers, educators, and interested laypersons. The goal of this multi-year project is to make the visual record of women in ministry and leadership available free of charge and unencumbered by permission requirements, and to include short teaching elements to guide the audience through the constitutive and pivotal role of women throughout Christian history. Together with the visual story, the accompanying narrative will make it possible for patrons to learn about women throughout history and across the globe and their unique contributions to the life and faith of the church… A history that remains mostly untold.
