An awesome book on Christian Symbology as it relates to art.,
By Godspark (Imperial, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handbook of Christian Symbolism (Paperback)
As an art history buff and a spiritual seeker this book outlined many of the symbols resonant in Byzantine and Renaissance art. An awesome find indeed!
