What A Statue Means To A Believer

One of the most common remnants of ages past are the statues of its gods, goddesses, heroes, heroines and the people, and forces that have shaped them.The statues that remind us not only of generations past, but of our beliefs and passions have yet to fail to capture our awe and reverence, from the works of world renowned artists to nameless statues that have stood the test of time, whether they be carved from marble or of stone.We all have different reasons to get a statue that means something to us and these days, a statue can be easily bought off the internet.In order to look at how these symbols affect our daily lives, let us step back from the big picture dominated by the Lincoln statue or the giant atop the Rio de Janeiro and the like.

Three dimensional and engaging two or even three of our five senses, statues are pieces of art, products of a more laborious field of art that is sadly becoming neglected in these modern times of pre-casting and plaster.Instead of just looking at statues, one can touch it, admire its different textures and nuances, even smell the kind of stone that it was made of, smell how it has reacted to the years and elements it has seen.There are a lot of people who choose to get replicas of well-known statues, many lawns display the unmistakeable figure of the statue of David or have one iteration of Venus De Milo, maybe because these images evoke something powerful in them.Let us not forget the fact that more than just art, statues provide a physical reminder of an emotion, belief or faith that one has, no matter what reason people have for commissioning or buying statues.

For example, a catholic family may choose to decorate their home with saints and other catholic symbols.More than just decoration, a Jesus Statue stands to remind people who see it of their faith and the values that it imparts.More than just being a token of luck that some people erroneously take them for, a statue of Buddha reminds its followers of the wisdom that the prophet stands for.The importance of a statue lies on how it impacts its viewers, whatever symbol, deity or person a statue represents.So if your faith does not ascribe to statues or you find them useless, keep your opinions to yourself and respect the importance that other people give to these physical reminders of their beliefs and emotions.

Presence $3.44 Presence is one of Led Zeppelin’s more overlooked albums, languishing in the monstrous shadow of its predecessor, Physical Graffiti.
