Class Participation Assignment - October 26, 2009

In the class movie we learned how some things originated and saw visuals on stories we have only read about. A new thing I learned was the Roman perspective of the image of a man carrying a sheep on his shoulders. The Roman’s believed it meant compassion toward human life, different then how the church views that same image today. Also very interesting was the vision of Constantine that totally changed the empire towards Christianity. He believed in the sun god and one day had a vision of a cross on the sun with words under it saying “by this conquer.” And so he did and won the battle making Christianity the religion of the Roman Empire.
