Hail Mary pass

Paul says that all he has left is Luke, who stays supportive of him. Luke had a spot in the heart of many of the females around him because of his many skills, kind and loyal ways, and his devotion to God and Jesus Christ. According to Luke, “Hail Mary full of grace” was spoken at the Annunciation and “Blessed are you and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus” are spoken by Mary’s cousin Elizabeth. Luke is responsible for the stories about Jesus disappearing in Jerusalem as…

because it is a Roman Catholic church, and, therefore, must follow a Latin Cross plan (Permanyer, 1999). The composition of the façades is extremely vertical, directing your sight line upward and to the heavens where God, but more importantly, Jesus and Mary reside. Also, while the façades and the outward composition of La Sagrada Familia seem to be incredibly heavy, the inside is filled with polychromatic light, because of the Gothic inspired windows that fill the walls. The crypt, which is…

Rulers throughout history have proven that the way the rule is based on the way they are perceived by not only their subjects but other powers including religious authority. This was especially true for women rulers who were viewed as lesser than men, and in some countries were not even allowed the chance to rule. Queen of Elizabeth of England was one of the longest rulers of her time, however that did not stop people from questioning her ability to rule. Religious leaders believed her rule was…

Wes Moore and the other Wes Moore grew up in the same area at roughly the same time, but both had very different outcomes in their lives. One of them became a Rhode scholar and the other one ended up with a life sentence in prison. Their lives were very similar while they were young, both grew up in a bad neighborhood and they also did not have fathers. While growing up both were not good in school which bothered one mother, but the other did not care as much. The decision they made ultimately…

“to commemorate such great nuptial ceremonies, [Claudius] built the city which he called Claudiocester”: Unity and Harmony The roll-maker used women to prove a political point that peace, harmony and greatness could be expected from a king if he had a loving and supportive wife. Women were carefully selected by the roll-maker to exhibit this idea in a variety of differing scenarios. If women inspired their husbands to do great things, created successful lineages, had a useful heritage, or were…

time in Venice and Rome. In the picture Christ, has called out from the cross to God, and a bystander has “fetched a sponge, which he soaked in sour wine, and held it to his lips on the end of a cane.” Saint John stands below the cross as the Virgin Mary and two companions arrive, mourning, while three soldiers at left gamble for Christ's tunic. The figure on the ladder is a particularly brilliant narrative interpolation. Christ is shown crucified between two thieves on the hill of Golgotha,…

Lagraulus, the scene of the Pieta depicts a draped Virgin Mary with the dead body of Christ resting in her arms after the crucifixion, death, and removal from the cross. This was one of the key events in Mary’s life, known as the Seven Sorrows of Mary, which were the subject of Catholic devotional prayers. Michelangelo’s Pieta differed largely from other portrayals of this scene, having created the facial expressions and bodily form of Mary and Jesus in order for the focus of the sculpture to…

mother was a young unwed woman. The only background that Luke tells us about Mary was that she was a virgin(v27). Joseph and Mary were engaged to be married (v27). They were poor and as is common in many third world settings, there assent into a higher social status would be difficult, if not impossible. As a result, the access to the privilege shared by Zechariah and Elizabeth would be a distant dream to Joseph and Mary. Discerning the voice of God: Luke points out that both couples received…
