| dc.description | An ancient chair is displayed to churchgoers at St. Odulphus Church in Borgloon, Belgium. This chair is considered the oldest piece of seating furniture in Belgium, dating back to around 1200. It is a relic because it is believed to have been used by Saint Lutgardis of Tongeren (1182-1246) when she was a nun at the St. Catherine’s Monastery in Sint-Truiden. The chair has survived many wars and difficult times in the Sint-Truiden area, leading it to end up in various places over the years. Today, the chair is primarily known as a fertility object. Frequently, (young) women with an unfulfilled desire to have children sit on it and ask Saint Lutgardis for help. The article provides an update on the research of this object, briefly touching on the chair’s history and the tradition of longing for parenthood. A bibliography is included, summarizing previous research and the chair’s recognition through various channels. | en_US |
