Religious iconography is nothing new. In fact, it dates back thousands of years. If we take a look back to the Renaissance period of art, you’d find yourself looking at thousands upon thousands of depictions of religious figures. Christ, God, Mary and other Saints were common themes throughout this period. Fast forward to today – religious iconography can still be seen, and in fact, can be seen as rather fashionable. For example, saint christopher necklaces – a small pendant with a depiction of Saint Christopher and the phrase ‘Protect Us’ are not an uncommon sight. Available in many different metals and colours, this small pendant offers some comfort to those who seek protection.
