In this period there was a plethora of Christian artwork from the invention of Crucifix in the 12th Century by St. Benard of Clairvaux, to Psalters, prayer books, and Bibles having orante artwork, to giant frescos, and beyond; the Middle Ages certainly gave us motifs, and styles still in use today.

Jesus has olive branch coming out of his mouth for those saved, and the sword for the unsaved (Revelation 19:11-16). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing to see that some of these styles are still in use today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where the purported place Jesus was Crucified at Golgatha and buried/entombed. It is a very dark and danky cave like place full of catacombs and tombs (think Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, when they go to library and underground they go into a tunnel from Middle Ages in Alexandretta, and there's rats). Helena and Constantine The Great discovered the Site of Holy Sepulchere in circa 323-340 A.D. Helena is believed to have found there the True Cross, the one Jesus was crucified on, because three were found, and one healed everyone; and so this was believed to be the True Cross. That same True Cross was used by The Crusaders from 1101 A.D. to 1187 A.D. when it was lost at Battle of the Horns of Hattin. There the Crusaders massacred lost the True Cross to Saladin and His Forces on July 4th, 1187 (makes you think huh, the day America celebrates Independence is that day the True Cross was lost). The Holy Sepulchre became a prime place for Crusaders (Crucinatia, milites Christi, Knights of Christ, Milites Pelegrins: armed pilgrims) and Medieval People to make pilgrimage to. To this day it has all the carvings, missing stone work, carved crosses of Medieval People who have passed through over the centuries of the Medieval Period.
