| | The Symbolism of Celtic Design |
| | The art of the Celtic Revival of the 19th and 20th centuries is as much the heritage of the CyberCelt of the Third Millennium as is the magnificent Celtic Art of Pagan and early Christian times. | | | It is debatable if this was ever the intentional meaning of ancient scribes, but since this meaning was suggested by the great Scottish Celtic art teacher of the 20th century, George Bain, it has been an accepted meaning by many artists and craftsmen. | | | These sort of nature relationships are frequently and quite validly used by modern Celtic artists as symbolic content. |

| | The symbol of the skull, and burial of the object near the target person, would have invoked the symbolism of death and fear of death. | | | This theory is weakened by the fact that the cross as a Christian symbol would not become prominent for a couple of centuries after the earliest know use of this square epigram (Merrifield, 1988, pp. | | | The A and O would supposedly denote the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, used as an additional Christian invocation. |

| | Dappled Things |
| | We'll look at the two common meanings that the skull has had in traditional Christian art. | | | The symbolism is fairly self-explanatory: Christ pre-existed all creation and outlasts it all, is its source as well as the goal toward which the whole cosmos moves as it seeks its consummation. | | | First, there is the obvious symbolism of Jesus' crucifixion being a victory over sin and death, represented by the skull. |

| | Symbolism |
| | Symbolism was not condemned per se but the teaching of their meaning declined to the extent that 440 years later few now understand that Christian symbolism, its’ meaning, or how to interpret it. | | | The heyday of Christian symbolism in the western Christian faith was during the medieval period and was most frequently given expression in the numerous European medieval churches and Cathedrals. | | | Freemasons copied Christian, and other religions, symbolism but applied a different interpretation, Thus a symbol within a Jewish Synagogue, a Muslim Temple or a Christian Church cannot be said to be Masonic although such symbols might be identical. |

| | The author of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight assigned Gawain the arms "Gules, a pentacle Or," and has an elaborate explanation of the Christian symbolism. | | | The modern American traditions of anti-Christian satanism and non-Christian neo-paganism derive their symbolism, in large part, from these 19th century roots, though they each modified it to their own needs in very different ways. | | | The pentacle was very widely associated with Christian mysticism in period, having been adopted into medieval mysticism from earlier use by the Pythagoreans and the Gnostics. |

| | Christian symbolism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Christian symbolism is the use of actions or objects to represent the truths of the Christian faith, either as a reminder of those truths or as a way of spiritually connecting with the underlying truth or act. | | | To focus on one stream of the development of this late Christian symbol, the Christmas tree symbolizes, in part, the promised "Branch", the Messiah, who must be the "Root of Jesse", the descendant prefigured by Jesse's royal son, David. | | | Symbols were inscribed on Christian tombs from the earliest days. |

| | Christian humanism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Christian humanism has been traced back to at least the 12th century, and its proponents claim it to be grounded in the mystery of God as present in history as a human being, Jesus, and secondly, on several teachings of Jesus, as found in the New Testament. | | | Christian humanism, is a philosophical union of Christian and humanist principles, and like much humanism often refers to a commonality among all humanity as its basic ethos. | | | Christian humanism is first of all a movement for widened learning that emerged out of the Renaissance and was brought by devoted Christians to the study of the philological sources of the Greek New Testament. |

| | The Antithesis |
| | This subject is the antithesis between Symbolism and Revelation, or the current of symbolical religion, which of late is becoming almost dominant in England, and now already in a considerable degree menaces our Calvinistic church-life. | | | Rome understood perfectly well the two different principles involved in the antithesis between Revelation and Symbolism, and avoiding, as always, every absolute choice, kept to the Revelation in her confession, but at the same time indulged in Symbolism for her worship. | | | So much only can be granted, that both the Christian revival, and this new mystical religious movement, were a reaction against the ungodliness of the period of Voltaire and the low vulgarity of the so called “Illumination” of that time in Germany. |

| | OUP: Paulinus Noster: Conybeare |
| | His ideas on friendship, Christian symbolism, and the nature of personal identity were produced on the cusp of the transition from the classical world to the burgeoning Western Christian civilization by a thinker with strong links to both. | | | Paulinus' letters and other writings reveal the roots of many important strands of Christian thought; the works of Augustine and others attest to this influence. | | | The letters of Paulinus and his correspondents portray an early Christian 'web' of shared concepts, intellectual discussion, and group development. |

| | cross. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 |
| | Devotion to the cross as a symbol of the Passion is an outstanding development (from the 11th cent.) in the history of Christian piety; it has ever since been an essential part of the public and private religious life of Roman Catholics. | | | Protestants have been generally sparing in using the cross and do not use the crucifix, but the symbolism has been retained in their literature (e.g., in the hymn, When I Survey the Wondrous Cross). | | | The Maltese cross and the swastika (an ancient and widely diffused symbol) are still more elaborate. |

| | Is this an Masonic Initiation scene at Rosslyn Chapel or is it a symbolic depiction of blindness or the conquest of death? |
| | This powerful and dramatic story posed some difficulties in being depicted in Christian symbolism and the expedient of using an existing symbol but providing it with multiple meanings was used. | | | We can begin to see here several levels of complexity within Christian symbolism and the churches' attempts, with varying degrees of success, to express its principals and precepts by that means. | | | The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ gave all Christians everlasting life and the symbolism of this carving shows that the death can be conquered. |

| | On the Christian symbolism of Dulcitius, see Sandro Sticca, "Hrotswitha's Dulcitius and Christian Symbolism," Mediaeval Studies 32 (1970): 108-27. | | | But while the signs can be misread, Christian virtue cannot be degraded. | | | Dulcitius begins with an ironic contrast: the pagan Emperor Diocletian manifests the rage and madness he attributes to the virgins, while they remain impassive. |
