Son Of Zebedee's Saint John The Evangelist
Saint John the Evangelist, son of Zebedee, is one of the four Gospel writers, along with Mathew, Mark, and Luke. Saint John was one of the only Apostles to stay with Jesus at the cross during his crucifixion, and it was there where he was entrusted to Mary (Saint John the Evangelist). The Cloisters in New York, have a plaque of Saint John the Evangelist made from ivory. Besides the fact that the plaque is a carving of Saint John the Evangelist, it is symbolic to him and his works through the eagle above his head, and the writing on the book he is holding. All four of the Gospel writers each have a symbol, Mathew’s being a winged man or angel, Mark’s being a winged lion, Luke’s being a winged ox, and John’s being an eagle. Saint John’s figure

    St. John The Divine Analysis

    Even though the Italians said the Gothic architecture is “barbaric” and should discontinue the style, surprisingly the style is still being constructed to this day. I chose the St. John the Divine because it has so much similarity to the Cathedral of Notre Dame, Paris. Even though the St. John the Divine is unfinished, it is a very big tourist attraction, just like the Cathedral of Notre Dame. They both have the whole gothic style look, such as the wheel windows, that you notice, almost always, first and stained glass windows. The only difference that is noticeably is how the Cathedral of Notre Dame has a different front look then St. John the Divine.…

    St John the Divine

    The Cathedral of Saint John the Divine is simply breathtaking. From the exterior to the interior of the cathedral, you can find plentiful amounts of highly sophisticated bodies of work. Before laying a foot inside, the massive bronze doors containing forty-eight relief panels depicting scenes from the Old and New Testament catches the eyes of many. Also, many note the exquisite statues and carvings of saints and Jesus all along the Western Front of the Cathedral. Once inside, the enormous pilier-cantonnés stand along the nave aisle, where it erects up into the ceiling. Eventually, the columns meet with one another at four angles, creating a quadripartite vault in the nave ceiling. The stained glass windows that lines the entire cathedral strikes your retina at all different angles as you rotate your body. A little beyond the crossing, the high altar contains a magnificent cross, as well as an iron tomb of the man who founded the cathedral. If you focus the eyes just behind the choir, you will glare at seven stunning radial chapels—each one representing an apostle, a patron, or immigrant. But out of all the marvelous artwork within and outside the chapel, there was one particular window that caught my attention.…

    Many differences can be seen between Steve Ryfle’s article “Godzilla’s Footprint” and Susan Sontag’s well known 1965 article “Imagination of Disaster” as Ryfle talks about the Japanese’s imagination perspective while Sontag talks about the American imagination perspective of there view points on science fiction films. Furthermore, Ryfle takes an intensive approach toward Godzilla has he provides evidence that advances his argument with the help of Susan Napier’s article “Panic Sites” where she demonstrated key points toward Japanese science fiction films and relate to Ryfle’s point of view. Whereas the famous Feminist write of the 1950’s and 60’s, Sontag disagrees with Ryfle on his idea and leans toward the more extensive way of thinking has she portrays to argue that science fiction films are nothing but extensive dramatics and to support her argument Susan Napier in her “Panic Sites” article partially agrees with Sontag with certain points that are relevant to Sontag’s argument as well has Sontag enhances the evidence of what real intensive factors portray to be when the discussion of the movie Grave of the Fireflies occurs which is a 1988 Japanese animated anti war tragedy of two orphans who struggle to survive. Although Sontag’s argument is correct for most science fiction films, especially American films, Ryfle’s article provides evidence contradictory to Sontag’s argument.…

    St. John Narrative

    To the average person it was just another day in St. John’s, Newfoundland, however, to me it was much more. It marked the day I would run across Canada, from the Atlantic to the Pacific- from St. John’s to Victoria. As I stood upon a small inlet by the coast of St. John’s, I prepared myself for a journey of a lifetime. I tried to kick my feet into the bare sedimentary rock by the jagged coastline- bad idea, and I’d be needing those feet for a while. After hours of preparation, I was finally ready to go, but my hands were trembling. As if I wasn’t controlling them my feet began moving, and I soon found myself at a light jogging pace. Years of training had prepared me for this.…

    The History Of The Gospel Of Mark

    The Gospel of Mark symbolizes the being of Jesus more by what He does than what he says. The Gospel of Mark is the second book of the New Testament as well as the initial of the four gospels, according to most New Testament scholars. The Gospel of Mark can be broken into two parts: Jesus’ ministry in Galilee (chaps. 1-9) and Jesus’ ministry in Judea and Jerusalem (chaps. 10-16). The Gospel of Mark does not mention the name of its author. The earliest observer to recognize the writer was Papias (A.D. 60-130). Even though Mark is the shortest of the four gospels, it shows close consideration to matters of human interest. Mark is fond of connecting the episodes of Jesus’ ministry together with catch words such as (for example, immediately…

    Christian Symbols

    Communication of thoughts and ideas are not always verbal they can come in different forms such as written languages, sign languages, and even artistic expression via the concept of art and drawings that are often illustrations an artist may hold in their heart and mind. Religious symbols used by Christians have been used to express ideals and beliefs since the pagan era from 849. Pagans used symbols not only because it was a work of art but because their followers were illiterate and symbols were used to educate their followers. The same symbols that were used during the Pagan era are some of the same symbols used today, however in today society religious symbols are used to identify different religions and affiliations with religious organizations. Religious art and symbols are also used to decorate churches, synagogues, and Mosques. Religious Art today is just that artistic symbol with very little or no secret messages. I will discuss the Christian symbols of Gregory the Great and Three Scribes, the Lamentation, and a few other symbols that are very common in identifying religious symbols.…
