Religious Symbols




Religious symbolism is the use of Symbol s, including Archetypes , acts, artwork, events, or natural Phenomena , by a religion. Religions view religious texts, Ritual s, and works of art as symbols of compelling ideas or ideals. The symbols helps create a Resonant Mythos that expresses the Moral values of the Society , the teachings of the religion, creates a sense of solidarity between religious adherents, or functions as a way to bring an adherent closer to their god or gods.

The study of religious symbols is either Universalist , as a component of Comparative Religion and Mythology , or in localized scope, within the confines of a religion's limits and boundaries.
