Saturday 9 June 2007

The same day as before, to Geneva.

First is and "Indulgence." This is a paper that you would buy from the Catholic church that said you were guaranteed to make it to paradise. This is the straw that broke the camel's back. With the selling of these Indulgences, the Catholic Church basically forced the Reformation. These were considered the final example of how far the church had gone from Jesus's teaching and now had to be stopped.

The next picture is of the Reformation Wall. On this wall were a number of larger than life sculptures of men who were instrumental in during the reformation.

The last three pics are from the museum of art and history.
The first is the head of a statue of Alexander the Great
The second is a Roman mosaic.
The third is the famous Thinker by Rodin, though a study for it rather than the full scale final product!
