Catacombs of Rome

Church history is a very important class, especially to us as Christians. When we look back at the history of the church we are able to see how God worked in the formation of the church, as we know it today. In Hebrews 13:7 it reads, “Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith.” By learning the good things in history we are able to imitate and live out the gospel the way that God would have us to live.

Ember, Ashes: The word collage generator does not allow the use of phrases, so I split the title, “An Ember in the Ashes” into two words, and put them into the collage. This phrase is also important, because Laia, one of the main characters, is referred to as “the ember in the ashes”, which in context, means the only person who could make a difference for her people, who were enslaved under the rule of the empire. Sabaa, Tahir: The name of the author, Sabaa Tahir, was considered a phrase, so I

Diego Chavez TH-120-11 Theology Prof. James Crosson February 22nd 2016 For Part One: 1) 1)What is the CHRISTIAN PENTECOST? What happened? To whom? And where? Pentecost is when the Holy Spirit came on the early followers of Jesus. It happened a few weeks after Jesus’ death and resurrection, there were followers of Jesus, but no movement that could be meaningfully called “the church.” Thus, from an historical point of view, Pentecost is the day on which the church was started. This is also

Egypt as well as India. The common swastika originates from India. Artifacts outside of the region have also used this symbol with their own slight variations. Greek coins, Scandinavian artifacts, pre-Christian Celtic artifacts, the catacombs of the early Christians in Rome, and several buildings during the Byzantine period used the swastika as decorative images. Native Americans have also used the swastika to represent good luck. However, it was not always regarded with the same kind of respect after

The Cleveland Museum of Art has many different collections on view ranging from African Art, Greek and Roman Art, Contemporary Art, and Medieval Art. The work I chose is The Good Shepard, which can be found in the Medieval collection in gallery 104. This work caught my eye because of the medium that was used to make it, the formal elements within the work, the meaning behind it, and the similar qualities to The Good Shepherd, Ornats, and the Story of Jonah. In today's world everything is so fast

As a member of Ancient Roman society there are many things I have to look forward to. There’s always music being played, people gallivanting in the street, beautiful things being built, and wonderful art work popping up all over the place. One other thing I always get to look forward to is that today someone will die. I know it seems a bit morbid to say that but it’s my job. If people didn’t die I wouldn’t make money out of it. I’m a mourner. I get paid by families of the deceased to make a scene

Gregory XVI in 1837. Pope Gregory XVI named her Patroness of the Living Rosary and Patroness of the Child of Mary. St. Philomena is also known as The Anchor of Hope and remembered as a very holy person. Her tomb was discovered in the catacombs of St. Priscilla in Rome on May 25, 1802. Beside her tomb were three tiles written with the words LUMENA PAXTE CUMFI which means “Peace be with you Philomena” and drawings of two anchors, three arrows, a palm, and a lily representing her martyrdom and virginity

Greek Room: Discobulos: Sculpted by Myron, made in 460-450 BC originally created in bronze. Theater Masks of Oresteia: By Aeschylus, published in 458 BC, masks were generally made from leather or wood. These pieces were chosen for the Greek room for different reasons. Discobulos is a fantastic example of Greek art, with its muscular body and action of the highly regarded games, frozen in time. The masks are something that are not often thought of or seen in museums. Items that resemble popular

Established as a military fort, Dura Europos fended off Persian invaders from the Roman Empire. The Persians eventually defeated Dura, however when the city was rediscovered many monuments were found (Tronzo). The most common form of surviving art consisted of paintings found on the interior walls of buildings in Dura. In particular, two buildings were found that had been used as religious meeting places. The first is a “domus ecclesiae” which is Greek for “house” “church” that belonged to the Christian

destruction resound overhead. The bodies of the two Egyptian servant girls lay on the floor, their throats cut. “Spies,” Perta whispers, as we enter another room. “They must have found out about the meeting, and reported it. They should have known that Rome doesn’t deal well with servants who betray their masters. Sends out the wrong message to their servants.” We pass by one of the storage rooms when we hear someone coming towards us. Perta motions for us to hide, and I duck behind some piles of sheep
