Religious art or sacred art is artistic imagery using religious inspiration and motifs and is often intended to uplift the mind to the spiritual. Sacred art involves the ritual and cultic practices and practical and operative aspects of the path of the spiritual realization within the artist's religious tradition.
Christian sacred art is produced in an attempt to illustrate, supplement and portray in tangible form the principles of Christianity, though other definitions are possible. Most Christian groups use or have used art to some extent, although some have had strong objections to some forms of religious image, and there have been major periods of iconoclasm within Christianity. Most Christian art is allusive, or built around themes familiar to the intended observer. One of the most common Christian themes is that of the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus. Another is that of Christ on the Cross. For the benefit of the illiterate, an elaborate iconographic system developed to conclusively identify scenes. For example, Saint Agnes depicted with a lamb, Saint Peter with keys, Saint Patrick with a shamrock. Each saint holds or is associated with attributes and symbols in sacred art.
Gresham College is an institution of higher learning located at Barnard's Inn Hall off Holborn in central London, England. It was founded in 1597 under the will of Sir Thomas Gresham, and it hosts over 140 free public lectures every year.
Sir Thomas Gresham, founder of the Royal Exchange, left his estate jointly to the City of London Corporation and to the Mercers' Company, which today support the college through the Joint Grand Gresham Committee under the presidency of the Lord Mayor of London. Gresham's will provided for the setting up of the College – in Gresham's mansion in Bishopsgate, on the site now occupied by Tower 42, the former NatWest Tower – and endowed it with the rental income from shops sited around the Royal Exchange, which Gresham had established.
The early success of the College led to the incorporation of the Royal Society in 1663, which pursued its activities at the College in Bishopsgate before moving to its own premises in Crane Court in 1710. The College remained in Gresham's mansion in Bishopsgate until 1768, and moved about London thereafter until the construction in 1842 of its own buildings in Gresham Street EC2. Gresham College did not become part of the University of London on the founding of the University in the 19th century, although a close association between the College and the University persisted for many years. Since 1991, the College has operated at Barnard’s Inn Hall, Holborn EC1.

Devotion: Religious art from the 16th to the 18th century http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graves_Art_Gallery Religions use art and images to celebrate their faith. Some use paintings and objects to tell the story of how their faith began. Others use imagery to encourage people to lead a good moral life. Religious art is also used to help create a focus for prayer. Stories were illustrated so that everyone could understand them, as many people couldn't read. They contained easily recognisable signs and symbols so that people of all ages and backgrounds knew what they meant. In Europe, the Christian church was powerful and wealthy. It was therefore the main funder of art and culture. As a result of this, the religious art in Sheffield's collection mainly represents the Christian faith. ww...

The hope of this video will prove the authenticity of the artifacts,and to bring awareness to them. They have been all but forgotten by the general public. If they did turn out to be authentic they would be one of the most important archeological discoveries of all time. That said, lets see what the authorities say in regard to what they feel could be the greatest hoax of all time. In the era of the unearthing of the relics it did not take long for the authorities to dismiss them as forgeries. Not only did the relics contain inscriptions that seem to be a mix of several ancient languages, but the tablets contained depictions of ancient religious art. The art on the tablets contained depictions of Noah’s Arc, the Tower of Babel, and the Crucifixion among others. Many times the stories...
