Christian Art

Christian Art plays a very vital role in my life. Why? Because I am a catholic. A daughter of God. My faith molds me into someone I am right now. Because of my faith, I was able to accomplish tasks beyond my expectations. Early Christian art covers a lot of history about Christianity. Before, Christians are slaughtered and murdered because of what they believe. But in spite of this, in spite of being hated and hunted down, they still found courage and strength in prayers. They hid underground through chambers called the cubicula. These were small chapels where early Christians worshiped and prayed for their dead. There are certain artworks that can be seen in Catacombs such as the Good Shepherd in the catacomb of Saints in Rome. Good thing Constantine abolished the rule of forbidding the Christians to live. The Christians adopted the Roman Architecture in building churches and basilicas.

It was amazing to know how carefully planned Cathedrals are. There are parts of it that have a specific function. A church, in the other hand, is a building in which the public sacrifice of the Mass takes place. It is headed by the Priest. Here in the Philippines, there are Churches like the one above, the Binondo Church that are considered a heritage and historical in our history. They played an important role during the times of war because it is here in these churches where people his themselves and their families to avoid the shoot outs. These churches are still highly anticipated in our country, perhaps because most of us are Christians. These Churches signifies the strength of the people in times of disastrous events that we experienced in the past.

Nothing beats the strength prayer gives. It is our way to communicate with our savior. Christian art depicts how rich Christianity is. There are artworks lent to represent how people value their religion. Christian art affects my style in making art by inspiring me to offer everything I do to our God. Without Him, I would be nothing, well, we would be nothing. Given this unique talent in art makes me so thankful. That is why I'll make sure to develop it further so that I can share it to others across the country and across the world. It was great to actually know how artists devote themselves to their beliefs. Their creativity was evident in spectacular churches, basilicas and catacombs.
