presented herself to the public. In my short story, The Queen’s Decision, Elizabeth’s public and private selves are evident and occasionally contrast with each other, especially during the decision to execute Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots. Publicly, the Tudor queen had a strong aversion to beheading Mary Stuart, but her personal insights depict hostility to the fellow queen. Elizabeth sitting on a throne made of silk from Asia, in reference to England’s colonial power. The Armada portrait was a public display

Portraits of the Madonna and Child depicting Mary holding the infant Christ provide a recurrent image in art throughout the ages. In prevalent portrayals over the span of centuries, artists reflect a wide diversity in their representations of the iconic duo. In particular, two works found in the National Gallery of Ireland in the early Italian Renaissance gallery, The Virgin and Child, Saint John the Baptist and Prophets by an unknown artist (1325-1450) and The Virgin and Child by Paolo Uccello (1435-1440)

emphasis, the infant Jesus. One of the most effective principles Paolo de Matteis uses in this painting is his use of lines and invisible lines to direct the viewer’s attention to the child in his mother’s arms. The shepherds and their animals, the Virgin Mary, and Saint Joseph are all instances of invisible lines in this painting, as their outstretched hands and lines of vision are all pointing to the baby Jesus. For example, the three women and the child kneeling to the bottom right side of the manger

The subject matter of this is a real representation of Virgin Mary holding the dying body of Jesus Christ. This is exactly what

someone. Black Mary, for example, is a mother figure to many people in the novel, “The Secret Life of Bees,” by Sue Monk Kidd. The Secret Life of Bees was set in 1965. The novel, written by Sue Monk Kidd, mostly talks about a coming of age process with the main character, Lily Owens as she grows up. She learns about the love, family, and Black Mary. Black Mary is a major piece to the novel for she is one of the reasons that Lily developed as a person so much.The use of Black Mary as a symbol helps

of a modest size at only 23” by 33”. The viewer is immediately drawn to the center panel where Mary is lingering over the newly born Jesus. The representation of the very small Jesus depicts him as frail, yet the holy halo, symbolizing the divine, surrounds his entire body as he lays on a fabric that is a part of Mary’s clothing while Jesus is resting on the ground. A third figure to the right of Mary also is overlooking Jesus, however his body language is difficult to decipher due to the dull emotion

Rivalry between Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots Religion is a main reason why Elizabeth executed Mary. Evidence which supports this reason is that some English Catholics would have preferred Mary as Queen of England. This would have made Elizabeth feel as she would need to execute Mary because Mary gave Catholics a reason to rebel against Elizabeth. Elizabeth was a protestant queen and most Catholics preferred a queen of their own belief. Thus, this was the best time to rebel against Elizabeth

Comparing the views of Bonhoeffer’s “Life Together” and Zizioulas’ “The Church” Bonhoeffer and Zizioulas offer interesting perspectives for conceptualizing the Christian theology regarding the atonement. Indeed, one of the outstanding elements of Christianity practices, which sets them apart from other religions, is atonement. In this case, atonement can be defined as the process of sin reparation or expiation. There are four models of atonement. These include Christus Victor, Satisfaction, Exemplar

The word immaculate means cleanliness or unsullied. The artist illustrated Virgin Mary as a sinless woman because of God’s grace even though she conceived Jesus Christ normally. At a first glance, one can tell the painting is about the Virgin Mary. She has long, wavy, hazelnut brown hair that reaches

notable enough. I found it interesting how they changed who narrated the story. In the book, the narration was done in more of the author’s POV (Point Of View), while in the movie it was done in Mary’s POV. This was confirmed by this fraise, “My name in Mary Lenox…” in the beginning of the film. In my opinion this was not
