I absolutely love gargoyles, and now I have an even better reason. There was also hidden anti-church symbolism hidden in the artwork. Most artists where financially supported by the church and yet hated what it stood for. <BR/>Most interesting...hmmmmm!!!Naughti Biscottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954505278010003963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861874.post-1112038972702407232005-03-28T11:42:00.000-08:002005-03-28T11:42:00.000-08:00Yes, "the church" always had a ready supply of "vo...Yes, "the church" always had a ready supply of "volunteers" to build cathedrals. On my one trip to England years ago, I liked to seek out the cathedrals in each town and take photos of the details (the devil is in the details, especially in churchs).<BR/><BR/>I did read where stonemasons would often place gargoyles that were caricatures of the town and church leaders in the cathedrals up in out of the way places in churches as their way of getting back at them for being forced to have to work on them.<BR/><BR/>BTW, your link to Dizgraceland has brought some interesting commentors.

I love old churches (and graveyards for that matter). <BR/>When I took a trip to Ireland, I noticed that in one very poor town where the homes were merely hovels, on the top of the hill stood a huge cathedral with intricate sculptures and gold leaf paintings. Beautiful!!!!

I dont understand when people have a small bazzar next to any church, as if Jesus did not say a place a worship should not be a place of dealership! Atleast teachings of Jesus should be practised around the church?<BR/>Happy EasterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
