Description
Excerpt from Lives and Legends of the Great Hermits and Fathers of the Church, With Other Contemporary Saints
Early Christian art was, indeed, until some time after the conversion of Constantine, practised solely for the sake of doing honour to the dead, and nearly all the examples of it which have been preserved to the present day, are the frescoes and sculptures of the catacombs and of some few sarcophagi from elsewhere. By the middle of the fourth century, however.
