  4. I've been gradually replacing my Jehovah's Witness library. I use the books for research, as I'm writing religious horror based on JW beliefs. I lent my books to a prof over twenty years ago and he never returned them.

    Here are some of my favourite illustrations from "Revelation Its Grand Climax at Hand!"

  9. It is no coincidence that the mandorla — the almond-shaped halo around Christ or the Virgin Mary — mirrors the vulva’s form. Named after the Italian for “almond,” it symbolises the threshold between worlds, the sacred gateway through which divine light and incarnation enter the human realm.

  10. CW: Religious imagery, flesh texture, mild drawn blood. Vent art stuff.

    Thought this was worth sharing considering it turned out well. Expressing feelings on a personal situation.

  12. “If you just look at the archaeology of our top early medieval monasteries, Portmahomack stands out as exceptionally literate and book-orientated. The standard books will say there are no Pictish manuscripts. We need to flip that on its head and say that the Book of Kells is actually an exceptionally Pictish-looking manuscript.”

    New research may rewrite origins of the Book of Kells

  13. Exciting news from NYC! St. Patrick's Cathedral is unveiling its largest single artwork ever - a massive mural by Adam Cvijanovic covering three entrance vestibule walls. "What's So Funny about Peace, Love, and Understanding" honors Our Lady of Knock and features Catholic figures like St. Frances Cabrini, Dorothy Day, and Archbishop John Hughes who started the cathedral's construction.

  14. Cathedral Candlelight in Cork

    A beautiful brass candle stand in St Fin Barre’s Cathedral, Cork. When Helios was on display in the Cathedral, I visited there with Blarney Photography Club and took the opportunity to photograph other parts of the cathedral’s artistic heritage.

    The inscription above reads, “Ní mar is toil liomsa, ach mar is toil leatsa”, which roughly translates as, “Not as I will, but as you will”. A reference to the Biblical quote, “Not my will, but thy will be done”.

    St Fin Barre’s Cathedral, completed in 1879, is the Church of Ireland cathedral of Cork and is renowned for its French Gothic Revival architecture and exceptional craftsmanship. The cathedral contains numerous examples of fine metalwork, woodcarving, and stained glass, much of it created by Irish artisans.

  18. The amount of side-eye happening in this art from the 1400s is making my day. Even Jesus is in on the action. "Hours of Louis de Laval, France ca. 1480," found here: discardingimages.tumblr.com/po #ArtHistory #ReligiousArt #SideEye #Humor

  19. Guercino -- The Dead Christ Mourned By Two Angels --1618 -- National Gallery, London

    An intelligent and usually sensitive friend of mine told me once that her own lack of religious belief meant that art with a religious subject was simply not for her.

    I was saddened and taken aback by this reaction. I have not an ounce of religious belief, yet I immerse myself in this picture as I might do in a narrative or a piece of music and find it at once moving and pleasurable.
