‘Illegally removing Church heritage could mean erasing the story of God and his people’
This is AI generated summarization, which may have errors. For context, always refer to the full article.Much has been said about cultural heritage in the Church – its legal ownership, its place in museums, or the return to its original location.
Therefore, heritage is deeply rooted in history. Without understanding its origin, purpose, and context, heritage loses its meaning. And for Christianity, heritage is not just the story of our own genius or culture; it is about the story of God walking with His people. Illegally removing Church heritage could mean erasing the story of God and his people.
In medieval Christendom, works of art in churches were not signed because in sacred art, it is not the artist who should be known, but God. The value, therefore, ascribed to heritage in the Church is not dependent on the name of the artist, or the value of the materials used, but rather that it is an instrument used for worship, to connect God and His people.
