- Religious Art
-
- There seems to be a dearth of religious art on Aminet, so I decided to
- appoint myself the duty of making some. Mind you, it's quite poor, but
- I did try. I hope someone somewhere gets some inspiration out of it.
-
- I'm actually intending to make more, so don't complain that I didn't
- warn you. The other stuff probably won't be as original.
-
- A quick briefing of the pictures included: most sacrifice on the Eternal
- Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Many include His Immaculate Mother, and some
- have others, like the apostles.
-
- A not-so-quick briefing of what should be in here:
-
- 1. Sacrificium #ternum
- (Translates to "The Eternal Sacrifice", unless I've got my genders
- wrong.)
- God the Father, seated on His throne, accepts the perfect sacrifice
- of His onyl begotten Son (Hebrew 9.11-14) in reparation for His
- people's sins. Angels collect the Precious Blood in the Chalice of
- Salvation (Ps. 116.12-15) while Archangels, attending at the throne,
- present the prayers of the people of God as incense (Revelation 8.4).
- The water of life flows from the Son's right side, from the piercing
- of His Sacred Heart (Ezekiel 47.1), The Holy Spirit, in the form of
- a dove, thus proceeds to God's people on Earth to teach and sanctify
- them (John 14.15). Fourteen apostles offer their prayers with the
- Most Blessed Virgin Mother of God on behalf of the Church (Acts
- 1.13-14). (B & W)
-
- 2. The Eternal Sacrifice
- The exact same picture as above, except that the Latin names are not
- put into the picture. (B & W)
-
- 3. Sacrifice of Love
- The exact same picture as #2, except in color.
-
- 4. EcceRexVostrus
- Translation: "Behold thy King!" Christ on the cross.
-
- 5. Miseria
- Mary holding hr!" Christ on the cross indicates to
- St. John the Apostle that he is to take the Virgin Mary as his mother
- henceforth. (John 20.26-27)
-
- As Easter comes, I hope to have some more ready which conform more to the
- spirit of
