I heard some statistic, I can't quite remember the number, but something like 5000 images a day the average person is bombarded with (I don't quite know how they worked that out especially with moving images!) but if you compare that to a medieval peasant working in the fields, who then goes into a church and views the stained glass, it is little wonder that we seem to be numb to the beauty of sacred images now.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15758556902359096640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8483480380245257312.post-64901814081168724112013-09-02T11:38:49.402-07:002013-09-02T11:38:49.402-07:00Wow, thanks for posting this.
