All those early Christian hand symbols got handed down generation after generation in Rome and Italy. Now in Italy...

I’m not Catholic, but I have a deep appreciation for this artwork. I have always found icons to be aesthetically pleasing, particularly those of the Byzantine variety. Very interesting post.

Though I am not Roman Catholic, I appreciate Art History, and found this very informative.
And, it makes sense that Orators would have to use gestures to convey their speeches, as there were no means of amplification in those days, except that which the acoustic shape of the amphitheater provided. The hand gestures, like subtitles at the opera projected above the proscenium arch, emphasize what the orator was saying in a way that could be understood by a large audience.
I have been at the generally accepted site of the Sermon on The Mount, and The Sea of Galilee acts like a big microphone. However, I imagine that people watched the Speaker and received cues from “body language” and hand gestures. It just makes historical sense.
It also makes sense that artists, in trying to recreate scenes from the Gospel, would paint the pictures in that fashion.
Anyway, that is my take on it. Thanks for posting the article.

Google Hand Gestures of Anton Levay’s Satanic Bible. It will make you sick when you see who has applied it.

I have seen many holy cards with saints doing the perfect or excellent gesture. Great post.
