christian imagery

This very broad tag should be used for any image containing symbols, images, or Biblical figures associated with Christian tradition.

Examples include: crosses, crucifixes, the ichthys, the chi-rho, the Tetramorph, the Sacred Heart, the Lamb of God, and saints and their attributes (in the context of other Christian symbols).

Many historical Christian artworks center around named events from the Bible or Jesus' life. These include the following:

• The Adoration of the Magi: The infant Jesus Christ is visited by the 3 magi: Balthazar (Magus), Caspar (Magus), and Melchior (Magus) and given gifts.
• The Presentation of Jesus at the temple.
• The Mocking of Christ (subject)
• The Crucifixion
