The project 'Bringing the Holy Land Home' (Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Art Gallery, The College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, MA, Jan. 26 – April 6, 2023) curated by Amanda Luyster was awarded with the 2024 Monica H. Green Prize for Distinguished Medieval Research of the Medieval Academy of America.
The Monica H. Green Prize is awarded annually for an exceptional project that shows the value of medieval studies in our present day and was established in 2021 to honor Monica H. Green and is supported by a fund of the same name.

The accompanying book, also edited by Amanda Luyster, Bringing the Holy Land Home. The Crusades, Chertsey Abbey, and the Reconstruction of a Medieval Masterpiece is available from Brepols / Harvey Miller Publishers with a special website price until 30/04/2024.
This volume reveals the impact that art objects manufactured in the Islamic and Byzantine Mediterranean had on the medieval visual culture of England.  It also addresses the complex phenomenon of the Crusades, in which both violence and dynamic cultural interaction coexisted.
