Calvary Or Catastrophe? French Catholicism's First World War Abstract CALVARY OR CATASTROPHE? FRENCH CATHOLICISM’S FIRST WORLD WAR Arabella L. Hobbs Professor Gerald Prince The battlefield crucifixes that lined the Western Front powerfully connected industrialized warfare with the Christian past. This elision of the bloody corporeality of the crucifixion with the bodily suffering wrought by industrial warfare forged a connection between religious belief and modern reality that lies at the heart of my dissertation. Through the poignancy of Christ’s suffering, French Catholics found an explanatory tool for the devastation of the Great War, affirming that the blood of ther F ench dead would soon blossom in rich harvest. This dissertation argues that the story of French Catholicism and the Great War uncovers a complex and often dissonant understanding of the conflict that has become obscured in the uniform narrative of disillusionment and vain sacrifice ot emerge in the last century. Considering the thought to emerge from the French renouveau catholique from 1910 up to 1920, I argue that far from symbolizing the modernist era of nihilism, the war in fact created meaning in a world that had lost touch with its God.

But if we did know that every sin of pride wove a crown of thorns for the head of Christ; if we knew that every contradiction of His divine command made for Him the sign of contradiction, the Cross; if we knew that every grasping avaricious act nailed His hands, and every journey into the byways of sin dug His feet; if we knew how good God is and still went on sinning, we would never be saved. Despite the multiplicity of coins made, the pattern is always the same. Hence the Mass is to us the crowning act of Christian worship. What can I do? Neither gifts nor portraits take the place of the beloved one. Now that all else was fulfilled, He fulfilled that iota; He, the true David, quoted the prophetic David: "It is finished. And in order that its memory might not be any haphazard narrative on the part of men, He Himself instituted the precise way it should be recalled. We offer the eternal Victim of the Cross, once made and forever enduring The World War, for example, was meant to be a purgation of evil; it was meant to teach us that we cannot get along without God, but the world refused to learn the lesson.

    CALVARY EPISCOPAL CHURCH Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Architectural Tours Choral Evensong & Organ Recital † † † The Calvary Choir Alan Lewis, director Jon Tyillian, assistant organist October 6, 2019 at 5 o’clock in the afternoon Welcome to Calvary Episcopal Church Calvary Church was founded in East Liberty in 1855. Calvary, and the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh, of which it is a member, are part of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America, a branch of the world-wide Anglican Communion, descended from the Church of England and thus a part of catholic Christianity tracing its lineage back, through apostolic succession, to the first Christian disciples. This building, Calvary’s third home, dates from 1906, and was designed by Ralph Adams Cram, one of the leading American exponents of the Gothic Revival. The overall length of the building is 208 feet; the height of the Nave, 55 feet, and of the crossing lantern, 75 feet. (The tip of the cross, atop the spire over the crossing, is 220 feet above the sidewalk.) The building’s appointments include stained glass by Heaton, Butler, & Bayne, of London, and C.J. Connick, of Boston, as well as Pittsburgh’s own Willet Stained Glass, among others. The carved wooden Rood Screen and the reredos behind the High Altar are particularly notable visual features. A new illustrated guide to the building was published in 2008, and is available through the Calvary Bookstore. Calvary houses two pipe-organs. The larger was built by Casavant-Frères of Québec in 1963; it is accounted one of the region’s finest, and its hundred stops and more than 7,000 pipes are heard regularly in services and recitals.

  • Chrismon Booklet | East Liberty Presbyterian Church
    CHRISMONS East Liberty Presbyterian Church 116 South Highland Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15206-3985 CHRISMONS The word “Chrismon” is a combination of the words “Christ” and “monogram”. The word Chrismon has been adopted to refer to special Christmas tree ornaments that have been developed to display symbols of Christ. The designs of the Chrismons has over the years been extended to represent symbols of Christianity. All the ornaments are done in white and gold. In 1957 Chrismon ornaments were made and displayed on a Christmas tree at the Lutheran Church of the Ascension in Danville, Virginia. Through this church patterns were made available, and the idea of having a Chrismon tree has spread. Over the years more ornaments have been developed so that now a Chrismon may be a monogram, a sign, a symbol, a type, or a combination of such figures. The only requirement is that it refer primarily to Christ and God. The Eight Pointed Star symbolizes regeneration through Baptism. The Triquetra and Circle. The endless circle suggests eternity. The triquetra—the figure composed of three separate and equal arcs— symbolizes the One God who showed himself to man in three separate and distinct persons. Christogram with Cross, Cho Rho, Triangle and M. The Chi Rho, Cross and Triangle are familiar sym- bols of Christ and the Trinity, M is the monogram for his mother, Mary, which suggests His humanity. The Fleur-De-Lis is the conventionalized form of the lily, the flower of the virgin Mary, and the symbol of the annunciation of Jesus. The Five-Pointed Star is the great symbol of the Epiphany; the star that led the three wise men to the nativity.

  • Cemetery Crosses in This Issue, and in the Next Several Issues, We Will Be Presenting the Wide Variety of Grave Markers Found at the Charles Baber Cemetery
    Cemetery Crosses In this issue, and in the next several issues, we will be presenting the wide variety of grave markers found at the Charles Baber Cemetery. The cemetery has no restriction on the size, shape, or type of grave markers used. It is a matter of ethnic, religious, or personal preference. One of the most common grave markers is the cross. The cross, used as a religious Christian symbol and its association with Christ, dates back to the second century. Charles Ba- ber Cemetery is filled with a variety of crosses. The 3 crosses below are Celtic, Irish in design. They are one of the most ancient of cruciform and were used by the Celtic Christians in Great Britain and Ireland. They vary in ornateness with the far left having additional Christian symbols carved within the upper part, while the Celtic cross on the far right is plain. The cross on the left is the Fleurie with the liliform end caps of this cross remind- ing us of the Trinity. The crosses on the right with their three pointed trefoil end caps also are symbolic of the Trinity. They bear the IHS letters, the most common Christogram derived from the first three letters of the Latin name of Jesus or if seen as IHC, it is the Greek name of Jesus. IHS is sometimes inter- preted in Latin as mean- ing Iesus Hominum Sal- vator—”Jesus, Savior of men”. Interpretations known as backronyms, consider IHS as “ I Have Suffered” or “In His Ser- vice”. Cemetery Crosses continued Some crosses known as a Graded Calvary cross have three steps leading up to the Latin cross which can represent the hill of Calvary or more often, faith, hope, and love.

  • The Medieval Calvary Group in Norway: Context and Functions
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Novus - Online tidsskrifter (Novus forlag) The medieval Calvary group in Norway: context and functions Hildegunn Gullåsen Introduction Like their other West European counterparts, medieval Scandinavian churches housed a great number of images with the crucifix in focus. As many as one hundred and forty polychrome sculpted wooden crucifixes from c. 1100-1350 have survived only in Norway.1 Of these, at least nine belong to a so-called Calvary or Crucifixion group (Kreuzgruppe/Kreuzigungsgruppe),2 where the crucifix is flanked by sculp- tures of the Virgin and St. John the Evangelist.3 A crucifix, in which central doctrinal and liturgical tenets are expressed, has ob- vious links with the liturgy. However, the purpose of placing the Virgin and St. John on either side of the crucified Christ in a medieval liturgical context may seem less clear. The present paper will discuss the significance of the Virgin and St. John at the foot of the Crucifixion and the probable functions which a Calvary group may have served the local congregations in medieval Norway. Why did some churches, par- ticularly from the twelfth century onwards, prefer the Crucifixion iconography with the Virgin and St. John rather than an unaccompanied crucifix? 1 Kollandsrud, 2002. 2 The sculpted Calvary group is also sometimes called a triumphal cross group (Tri- umphkreutzgruppe), since the majority of such crucifixes can be classified as triumphal crosses. See Haussherr, 1979, pp. 131-168; Haussherr, 1972; Wolska, 1997, p. 25; Nyborg, 2001. 3 These are the Calvary groups of Urnes (c.

  • Staurolatry ; Or. the History of Cross- Worship. with Illustrations of Crosses and Chrismas from Various Epochs of Antiquity
    STAUROLATRY BY THE EDITOR. THE cross as an instrument of execution was an object of hor- ror to the Romans of classical antiquity. It was the symbol of suffering and of death, and this is perhaps one important reason why the cross is not represented in early Christian art. The figure of two intersecting lines was in itself not objectionable, for it was actually used as a salutary sym- bol under other names in vari- ous religions, but it became ob- jectionable as soon as it was commonly designated as a cross. At this juncture Constantine's adoption of the labarum, subse- quently followed by the official identification of this sign with the Chrisma, served excellently the purpose of gradually accus- toming the cultured and aristo- cratic classes of the Roman Em- pire to the basic thought of the religion of the cross.
