Please join us for the second session on the Birth of Christian Art. This time we are looking at sculpted images that emerged in the early 300s. They appear in Rome on stone coffins known as sarcophagi. They show scenes from Jesus' life and miracles, including what seems to be a magic wand in his hand! Join Rev. Stephen Milton for a discussion of this next chapter in the evolution of Christian art.
