What are those little Catholic statues called?
Cemetery scene

It's something like "invokational" or "appreciational" or something.

Or maybe it doesn't end in "ational" but it means like a statuette that helps you remember and worship or something. It doesn't necessarily have to be Catholic, but I can't think of others who use the little statuettes.

I've trying to remember this word for 24 hours and I keep searching the internet, but it's not giving me the right word. I'll remember it when I see it.


They're merely called statuettes. I used to have a tin one of St. Elizabeth Seton.

I think the word you're thinking of is devotional, but that would not be the proper name for the item. A devotional is more along the lines of the prayers that one says when wearing a scapular, or when saying a novena.

Why do Catholic churches cover up the crucifix and statues on Palm Sunday through Holy Thursday?
Devotion

I go to a Catholic church, and they cover all statues of Jesus, the crucifix, and the statues of saints in red cloth. I've heard that it is to remind us that Jesus didn't have to die, but I'd rather have a more detailed explanation. And that also doesn't explain why we cover up the saints. Should I cover up my crucifixes at home?


This tradition is most common from the close of Holy Thursday through the Easter vigil and occurs with the removal of the Holy Eucharist from the Tabernacle. It is a visual reminder that we are separated from Jesus and adds to our joy on Easter when we are back in the Presence the Resurrected Christ. Peace.

What is the significance of statues in Catholic Churches?
Art of religon

For my rs hw.
Thanks everyone :)


The statues are simply objects to remind us of the holy ones that have passed before us. Many people feel comforted by the depictions of persons as opposed to the vague idea of saints. The statues both beautify the church and remind parishioners of the men and women gone before them, marked with the sign of faith.

Do the tombs of Catholic saints ever have statues carved on the lids of their coffins?
Religious aesthetics



Well, perhaps not statues, but something similar might be. Only in the middle ages. Before that it was illegal to be Catholic and they could burn you, throw you to the lions, etc, etc

Say, kings are not commonly declared saints. The ones who have been, as far as I know, are the king of France Louis IX and Fernando III de Castilla

  • House Art Journal: Favorite Things: Original bCatholic/b Art

    How can you be an artist when you're a busy mom or dad who doesn't have much time to write novels or paint pictures or compose sonatas? This is the dilemma for the beauty-lover who wants to help build a culture of life but just doesn't have time.

    What can be done is to try to make our homes our art, for our families.

    Please don't imagine that perfection lies outside the margins of these photographs. When I share images and thoughts, it's not to erect an ideal standard, but to share what inspires me.

    Holy solar: bStatue/b of bCatholic/b saint will produce renewable energy b.../b

    Born Francesco Forgione in 1887, Padre Pio has a massive global following that is expected to pony up the several million euros that it will take to build the statue. It will be covered in a special photovoltaic paint that will enable it to capture solar energy , making it the world’s first example of green religious iconography. Get over it people - the bible doesn't talk about a lot of things, thats because it is out of date and written 100's of years ago. You don't listen to any other information or stories that are that old so why listen to these. All catholics and christians are essentially the same - you all believe in god. Any differences are minor and just go to show how ridiculas this religion is. There are over 1 thousand different branches of christianity, seriously WTF. Get alife and astart living in the real world - you know the one you can see and taste and smell and touch.
