1. An Analysis of the Second Nun's Tale
.
St. Cecilia is also known as "of celo"(heaven) and "iya" which means "of lacking blindness". She was .
called "of celo" because she was heavenly a virgin. .
She was called "iya" because she was always busy. Lastly "of lacking blindness" because she was .
lacking blindness by shining of wisdom. St. Cecilia also had a good conscience or cleansed of the mind. .
Much is left to question about this saint's life. Many people flocked to see her relics and she became the .
center of many artistic paintings and frescoes.
The oldest known art work of her is a rude drawing on the wall of a catacomb at San Lorenzo, .
which dates from 817 AD. Another well-known art work is a sculpture named "Cecilia lying Dead". .
Which was specially made to remember the attitude in which she was found. St. Cecilia's ancestors also .
appeared in Rome's history. Her tomb was opened in 1599 and her body was found incorrupt.
Many people are unaware that there is a saint named St. Cecilia, but I"m glad I do know who she .
is because she makes an influence in my life. If more people find out more about her, they will be .
astonished also. Valerian and his brother developed a ministry of giving proper to martyred Christians. In .
return, they were arrested and sentenced to death for their faith. .
The Acta of Cecilia in includes this: "While the profane music of her wedding was heard, Cecilia .
was singing in her heart a hymn of love for Jesus, her true spouse." It was a phrase that led to her .
relationship with music. In another magnificent masterpiece, the marble statue beneath the high altar of .
St. Cecilia of Rome. Carlo Maderna represented her lying face down, just as she received the death blow .
of the executioners hand. .
A reason St. Cecilia appears widely on many artworks is because artists like to work the "rapt .
expression" associated with her facial expressions. Before her association with music, she was portrayed .
with a palm in one hand and the gospel in the other.
