Christian cross

The facade is nearly square in proportion with an entablature, on which the frieze is evenly divided into smaller squares with pilasters. The cross shape of the pilasters serve not only to amplify the symmetry of the structure but also represents the cross itself, a meaningful connection to the church to which the chapel is attached, the Basilica of the Holy Cross. The Pazzi Chapel’s Christian iconographic application of Roman design themes originally associated with pagan worship shows how Brunelleschi and later Italian Renaissance architects such as Bramante adopted the techniques and appeal of antiquity to serve the needs of Christian…

Their convents, in comparison to the Aztec’s, were larger and intentionally built to rival the Aztec’s architecture, to which the Indians added a little of their artistic flare in the interior décor since they were primarily the builders. When they began replicating the cross they used many different materials, made them in 3-D, and varied the sizes to include smaller ones for personal use and were constructed with and without the presence of the Cristo. The focus of these artists was to capture…

What strikes me is that the blood flow coming from his right puncture seems to be flowing against gravity. Is this to remind the view that he is God and can defy all things? Something strange also calls me to take notice of his twisted torso that also has blood flowing from profusely from it, leading down his body. This exact state, is what I have imagined Christ to look like while hanging on the cross, yet the evidence here suggests he has been taken down. As he sits at the foot of his own…

Painstakingly looking at each board, only selecting the best pieces of wood. He fired up his table saw and carefully cut two pieces of wood. He then turned the boards and added two careful notches on the separate pieces of board so that they could fit together, making a cross. The smell of the cut wood did not bring relief to me, nor did the mounds of sawdust. He took the rough, jagged edges of the sand paper and smoothed the edges and sides. I watched through tearful eyes as my dad neatly…

Introduction Using Drosophila, the goal of this lab was to study and identify the genetics behind certain traits through to use of dihybrid crosses. With the crosses, the purpose was to find the different dominant and recessive traits in the eyes and wings of the Drosophila. Flies were used to study the genetics as opposed to other insects or animals because they are easy to mass-produce and the traits, when viewed under a microscope, are easily identifiable. The hypothesis was that the traits…

granted every living soul in the kingdom, yes even children, the Steel Cross of Bravery(it’s not a Christian Cross, both axis are the same length it’s more like an x but thinner like “)(“ or 2 v’s stacked on each other), which symbolizes his admiration for his people, and in appreciation, the people gifted Viktor the Steel Cross of the People, which houses a large diamond at its center. Each batch of crosses was made with a bit of steel reclaimed from the battlefield at Grauhof. Everyone had…

remember the story of the crucifixion and how it made them feel. The emphasis is on the cross and the loyalty is gives to Christ. To connect with his audience, the narrator breaks his dream into three parts. To get the full effect, we must remember how the story of the crucifixion made us feel. Dream of the Rood is similar to Christian George Stevens’ The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) because both show commitment to the cross. The GSET takes the most time on the scene of the crucifixion,…

The Cross The cross is a universal symbol of Christianity. You will find this symbol in many Christian rituals as well as all over the interior of Christian churches. Making a sign of the cross over a child during the baptism invokes God's protection and asks for entrance into the body of the Christian church. The cross is a symbol coming from Jesus' crucifixion on the cross. Jesus' death was his sacrifice to wipe clean all the sins of humans. The cross is one of the most familiar of all…

great-grandparents moved to a three-decker house on Vernon Hill. They sought a better life for their children by stressing the importance of education as the key to social and economic mobility. Three generations later, I am a rising sophomore at the College of the Holy Cross, located within a few miles of this neighborhood. Although I am living the American dream, I am keenly aware that many are not blessed with the opportunities that I have been given. In…

never found anything I was good at. I decided to try cross country, and after the first practice, I knew this sport was for me. I lived for the feeling of finishing a hard workout and knowing you had accomplished your objection. Along with finishing a hard workout, the practices were entertaining and I enjoyed spending time my teammates. During races, I felt inspired by each and every…
