Thus, the apostle is seen with a red gospel book which apostles share from in their missions. These apostle were nearly worshipped in the early church as being the founders and pioneers of the faith. These were the heroes of the church. They would place these at the alters and they would serve as relics of worship. ]]> 2019-11-15 14:11:18 UTC https://padlet.com/istout1/o2zjaadvaxw9/wish/411782393 istout1 https://padlet.com/istout1/o2zjaadvaxw9/wish/411796554 This piece was created in the 12th century. This was the medieval/ middle ages time period where the catholic church had grown exponentially across Europe. The church was becoming more of a bureaucracy than a spiritual space. At this phase, Christians needed some tangible object to help them remember these apostles in their worship. The details of this relic depict the time when the apostles lived. They were poor travelers seen by the artworks lack of shoes and ragged clothing. ]]> 2019-11-15 14:29:00 UTC https://padlet.com/istout1/o2zjaadvaxw9/wish/411796554 istout1 https://padlet.com/istout1/o2zjaadvaxw9/wish/411811322 French.
