Talk:Saint symbolism/Archive 1

message: Symbology isn't really a word. If it was, it would be "study of". Page should be titled Saint symbolism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.226.1.136 (talk • contribs) 08:59, 10 January 2007
*Agreed -- this title needs to be changed -- just look at the article on symbology itself. Symbology isn't a word.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.143.231.159 (talk • contribs) 18:11, 27 March 2007
*Look at this. --evrik (talk) 20:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That sounds good to me. Or perhaps "Iconography of Christian saints?" Though clearly the article treats more than visual depictions alone.--Cúchullain t/c 15:37, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Word

message: The recent move is a slight improvement, but Attributes of Christian saints would be the correct technical name. As explained at Emblem (not by me), the attributes covered here are not symbols in the strict sense of the word, but emblems or attributes, the latter being much the most usual term in the literature.

message: The French Resistance used the Cross of Lorraine as a symbol for Joan of Arc during World War II.  Would that be an appropriate addition to this list? Durova 23:34, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Francis Xavier is listed both under the Letter X and the letter F. And the symbols in the two listings don't match up at all!!! -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. 02:49, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:SVH06 2.jpg

message: I removed this addition for a number of reasons. First, Christians don't see Jesus as a saint, but as the Son of God. Secondly, the examples included were aspects of Christ's life, not symbols per se. Finally, the symbology of Christ is far too lengthy and complex for this page; there are so many items and animals seen as symbolic of Christ that they would require their own separate article.

replies: text: It's ironic that the Son of God (or God Himself depending on who you ask) isn't considered a saint, I certainly consider Him one. Not all of the saints are human, may I remind you that many of the saints are angels. No these are things that Jesus is often depicted with (obviously they're going to be things from His life!) I suppose technically you're right, but I still think he should be listed here. --IdLoveOne (talk) 19:30, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not ironic.. He is GOD. Not a saint. Saints are not of any divine nature. --Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 22:16, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

message: added this to bottom of the article, and I feel like it would make more sense to put it in the talk page, in order that someone may explore the resource recommended. Tradereddy (talk) 15:15, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
