I warn the now that the Catholic religion is heavy implied in the next passages and u may not know the people/things referred to, I’ll do my bust to go into depth on a few people and things mentioned .~ Seven Deadly Sins Everyone knows the Seven Deadly Sins. But here’s some information about the Sins and what each one really means. First, why are the called the ‘Deadly’ sins? The church made a division between sins which were venial and could be forgiven without the need for the sacrament of Confession and those which were capital and merited damnation. Capital or Deadly Sins were so called because they could have a fatal effect on an individual’s spiritual health. British wall paintings stressed the connection between committing the Deadly Sins and ending up in Hell. Next, why Seven sins? After three, seven is the number of greatest religious significance in ancient Judaism. God made the world in six days and rested on the seventh, hallowing it. The number seven consequently had connotations of completeness or perfection. It was also significant in the Ancient World, associated with the seven planets, the seven ages of man and the Seven Wonders of the World. Given its prominence in Jewish and Antique thought, it is not surprising that it retained its significance in the early Church. The Seven Deadly Sins became one of a number of important groups of seven current in the medieval church, for example, the Seven canonical hours, the Seven petitions of the Lord’s Prayer, the Seven Joys and Seven Sorrows of the Virgin and, of course, the Seven Corporal Works of Mercy. Last, the Sin of the day is. . . Greed Creates misers, thieves and murderers A desire to possess more than one has need or use for The wolf is the animal usually depicted in medieval bestiaries, coming up from hell carrying Mammon to inflame the human heart with Greed. The greedy always crave more no matter how much they have. Wretched and envious, Avarice escalates to a state of infinite dissatisfaction and the sin's obsession with material wealth and "things" leads to neglect of spiritual wealth. Punishment in Hell will be: boiled alive in the finest, most luxurious oil that money can buy Associated symbols: Greed is linked with the frog and the color yellow. |  Mammon is the Demon of Greed Lord of Money To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wildflower... hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour... ~silverdragon~ |
