Sacred Art Art, for centuries, has been a method of communicating different information on the history and truths of people.  The prehistoric human used art to communicate or record their great historical stories and achievements.  One example of this is the images found in the Lascaux Cave in Southwestern France.  Many centuries later the Egyptians used hieroglyphics to communicate tales of their royalty, society and of their gods.  Today, Catholics and numerous other Christians, use images to communicate the truths of faith as well as stories of the virtuous elders that went before us.  But the question arises, after hearing so many people speak against images, is using sacred images unacceptable?  The first commandment does state that we should not have any graven images, doesn’t it?  So why do we allow these images?  Is God displeased with our use of images? “You shall not make for yourself any graven image” First it is important ...
