I used to have a luminous madonna which glowed green in the dark, which
I found very comforting, and played Schubert's Ave Maria on a sort of
music-box thing inside, which was lovely. My wife threw it away, for
some reason.
On a serious note, it was far more in touch with the religious
sensibilities of my congregation than, for example the artsy abstract
stained glass which one often finds in modern churches. The purpose of
all these things is to excite the faithful to devotion, and tasteful
art often leaves the poor dears cold.
Oriens.
