Religious objects

Brief

Objects and statues that evoke one’s beliefs are common in all religions, and often form part of regular worship, and decorate our places of worship - think of the nine-candled Jewish menorah, Christian rosary prayer beads, a Muslim prayer mat, statues of the Buddha, or the Hindi arti lamp. In other contests we celebrate religious architecture, or the act of worship and religious gathering, but this is an opportunity to consider the objects that, on a smaller level, embody our connections with a higher power.
