Add to basketPaperback. God uses visible signs to illuminate mysteries of the divine because that which is tangible is most accessible to humans. We readily connect with the symbolic nature of elements like water, fire, and light because we encounter them in daily life. In Sacramentals: Liturgical Symbols That Surround Us, author Johan van Parys takes us through the symbolism of various elements used in Catholic liturgies, bringing us greater understanding of the sacredness associated with objects when they're used in a religious manner. He reviews sacred spaces that exist within church buildings and walks through the history of how they developed from ancient times. Covering some of the differences among sacraments, sacramentals, signs, and symbols, van Parys explores liturgical furnishings, vestments, gestures, sacred art, and similar objects as he shows how God uses ordinary items to draw us closer to him. This fascinating exploration of sacramentals and symbolism is bound to inspire greater reverence for Catholic churches and liturgies. The Queen's Work: Liguori Publications has revived The Queen's Work imprint to support the needs of the people of God who desire a life of greater piety and devotion, and to encourage the positive spiritual energy that is present in the Church today. "A look at the meaning behind the primary elements of the sacraments of the Catholic Church as well as sacred objects, furnishings, images, and other items used in Catholic worship and devotions"-- Provided by publisher. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
