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.

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

high and 55 7/8 inches wide. The painting is of Virgin Mary praying and angels surrounding her at the bottom of her feet. The title, The Immaculate Conception, has a deep meaning to the painting. 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.

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

This Side of Paradise describes the struggling life of Amory Blaine from having great fun until he became of age to discover the world and experienced different life problems towards how he has changed. In this book, it really expresses the true nature of F. Scott Fitzgerald towards his writing and including the use of allusions, personification, shift in plot, and great imageries to show the way the character Amory has been progressing and also facing his challenges. . During the book, it really

exactly what had happened to Mary. She had a choice to answer yes or no and she chose the hardest path. Mary is important in history because she was the accepted God’s invitation to be the mother of Jesus, and devoted her life to God. She also raised, taught, and influenced our Savior.

The bond between mother and child has been a constant theme in the world of the humanities. While that bond has been the same throughout history, its portrayal in art has varied from decade to decade.

Artemisia Gentileschi's Madonna and Child, was created during

as “a woman”. John identifies her as Mary of Bethany. The ointment was poured on the head in Matthew and Mark while John is on the feet.
