The history of obelisks and what they were used for

They are among the loftiest monuments ever built, but what exactly is an obelisk? A tall, four-sided narrow tapering column, these majestic geometric pillars first made their appearance in ancient Egypt, originally erected in pairs at the entrances of temples. True obelisks are “monolithic,” or made from a single piece of stone, most often granite. Difficult to construct and serving no practical purpose, an obelisk in antiquity stood as a sacred object commemorating the dead, representing kings, and honoring gods. Many have survived millennia, with most pilfered by emperors and sent from Egypt to Rome and beyond. In fact, these unique timeworn towers can be admired in destinations around the world. Click through and marvel at these needle-like monoliths.

What is sin in Christianity?

In order to understand the Christian faith, it is first important to understand sin. After all, it is the heartbeat of Christianity, and forms the foundation of its teachings. But despite how deeply it is embedded in the religion, sin is often one of the most misunderstood parts of Christian existence. It’s not just a matter of moral failure or ethical misstep; it’s a story of humanity’s fracture from God and the reason behind Christ’s suffering and sacrifice. Many Christian believers struggle to define what sin actually is. Is it a broken rule, a misaligned intention, a neglected responsibility? Or is it all these things and something more? The Old and New Testaments have much to say about the nature, origin, and scope of sin. Ultimately, a believer’s awareness of sin is deeply shaped by spiritual maturity and even personal conviction.
