At the left is a sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini decorating the tomb of Pope Alexander VII. At the four corners surrounding the enthroned Pope, are the four virtues, Charity, Prudence, Justice and Truth. Charity is on the front left side and "La Verita", which means "The Truth" is on the right front side. On the right is a close up of "La Verita". Notice that the woman is embracing a 'sun-burst'. Clicking on the large image will take you to an art gallery where you can click on the image and zoom for a closer look.
Pagan Babylon worshipped the sun as a deity, and pagan Rome also worshipped the sun. Nothing like embracing the SUN god, eh? And some thought Constantine did away with Sun worship around 320 A.D. Ha! LOL

Specifically, where is the 'sun worship' in this sculpture? Where is there any call to 'worship' at all? Take your time.
