Worship:
Calendar and Holiday Links A product of the General
Board of Discipleship of the United Methodist Church, this site provides
links to several other Web sites regarding the lectionary, the liturgical
calendar, Christian symbols in art and architecture, and weekly lections.
There are other valuable links to lectionary preaching and liturgical music.

Church
Library: Image and Icon Archive (United Methodist) Lots
of seasonal images, stewardship images, as well as the cross and flame
logo, all which may be downloaded free for personal and non-commercial
use. The site also links to images from the devotional periodical, "The
Upper Room." (kc-11/01)
The
Ecole Initiative: Index of Images Thousands of
religious images —the saints, biblical characters and events, icons, Christology
in art— from Aaron to Zacarias. The links will carry you to some of the
world's greatest collections of religious art available on the Web. (kc-10/01)
Patron
Saints Index Who's your patron saint? This Web
site is light on art and heavy on information and lists. If you have a
disease, there may be a specific patron saint for you. Some countries,
states, cities and towns have patron saints, and many professions and crafts
have them, too. Catholic Community Forum hosts this and other interesting
Web sites that provide information which may be useful in liturgical planning
and promotion. Most of the saints are depicted in color illustrations,
as well, and there are good links to other related resources. (kc-10/01)
Celtic
Cross Stitch From County Mayo in Ireland comes
this attractive commercial site that offers free charts of your own design
for Celtic Cross Stitch. The service is good for churches having talents
with needle and cloth. The free charts, as well as the ones available for
purchase, can be used on banners, altar hangings, liturgical stoles, even
on upholstered kneelers, pillows, and chair seats. It is, reportedly, the
only Celtic alphabet chart generator on the Internet. May of their illuminated
designs come from the Book of Kells and other Irish religious art. (kc-10/01)
Glossary
of Medieval Art and Architecture This Website is
a product of University of Pittsburgh professor Jane Vadnal, and it's a
wonderful resource for anyone who wants to know more about traditional
church architecture and art as it was used in Medieval times. Vadnal has
created an A-to-Z glossary with internal links to images; each image even
has an audio-guide for pronunciation. The images are copyrighted, but at
least you'll learn the difference between the sanctuary and the chancel.
