Framed Praying Hands Artwork
The act of praying is not a modern invention, but something that people have done for thousands of years, regardless of religious. Invoking divinity and hoping to receive help in their quest, is usually the purpose of people praying, but the act itself differs greatly depending on religious affiliation. Christians bring their hands together when asking for strength, health or forgiveness and the powerful image is captured by FramedArt.com in its collection of Framed Praying Hands Art.
Framed Praying Hands Art focuses on the moment when people put all their worries and concerns behind them and try to get in a spiritual unity with God. The devotional acts differ slightly and prayers are taken throughout the day, but the reverent physical gestures are almost always the same. The routine associated to Christianity is well-known and has been intensely covered by painters and artists of all sorts over the course of centuries. While artwork was inspired by the act of praying, the paintings themselves consolidated the routine, so it all came full circle.
The act of bringing the hands together when praying is specific to Christians, with Jewish people swaying back and forth, Muslims kneel and prostrate while Quakers simply keep silent. The types of prayer have been studied extensively not only by religious people and the ritualistic form of purification and cleansing is still fascinating. Framed Praying Hands Art is not supposed to appeal only to Christians, but virtually anyone who wants to add a touch of serenity to an interior.
