Help! What objects are considered holy?

[crangie]

Hey everyone,

I hope I've come to the right place.. I'm an artist based in San Francisco and am working with religious themes. I need to find out what objects I can use in my work that are considered "Holy". This can apply to religion. If you could let me know what the object/thing is, and what religion it's from, that'd be great.

Thank you in advance!

Angie

Hmmm...an artist...in San Francisco...want to know what I consider Holy. Ouch.

Did I offend you?

Did I offend you?

No, not at all. I'm just a little wary.

 

[crangie]

Ha. Don't worry, my work is not negative or anti-religious. I don't know if that's what you suspected. I am looking for holy objects to create plant terrariums in, around, or in the shape of.

 

[ckww]

That is interesting. Sounds like a lotta work.

 

[crangie]

Yeah, but I think the hardest part of the whole project is going to be getting some answers to my question! Do you know if there is something special that holy water is contained in?

Holy water font or stoup? I've also seen plastic bottles with religious imagery on them.

I don't know anything about Holy Water. Sorry. My Bible is holy to me. Please be nice to it.

Thanks Splarnst! That is one thing I was looking for. My garden of eden will look beautiful in a holy water font.

Holy as in Christian holy, or sacred symbols across various religions?

 

[ckww]

Ahhh. the garden of Eden. That sounds like a neat thing to put together.

 

[ckww]

The tree of life. Need to have that in there.

Hi, crangie,

Not sure if this will help. I'm an animist: everything is/has spirit and therefore is sacred or holy.

Swiss cheese.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but there are a lot of herbs and stones used in various old medicines and potions, many of which were (and occasionally still are) considered magical.
