Reviews of Early Christian

I first took a look at Melanie's blog, and I appreciated her tribute to the architecture during this time period.  She really made an effort to analyze the comparisons between the Roman Empire and the modifications that were made when the Emperor began treating Christianity as a valid religion.  There was such a rush for new facilities for worship after this validation that architecture during this time period flourished and was definitely a point that deserved notice.  

I appreciated Rachael's tribute to Christian art and motifs from this time period.  Before Christianity was considered a valid religion, it was basically an underground belief for many for quite some time.  It prevented them from displaying holy artifacts that people deeply valued.  Their art form is distinctive to religious carvings and crosses, grapevine, and lamb motifs, so displaying their love for Christianity was very important to them.
