Warriors And Maidens The birth and death of Christ in life-giving myth and
ritual. The death and resurrection of Christ represents the possibility of everlasting life and is the template for status passage. Thus Easter is a metaphor for the eternal social reproduction of roles and statuses. Two important features here are, firstly, the stress on social reproduction in contrast to natural reproduction, and, secondly, parthenogenesis and the immaculate conception.The figure of rites of rebirth and resurrection portrays the rituals of virgin births, which parallel the birth and death of Christ and the pivotal role of men in life-giving myth and ritual. Whenever the idea of fertility arises during the natural order of production and reproduction, rituals exist which conceal the biological element in procreation. Whenever the natural facts of life intrude the Church substitutes a theatre of life-giving myth and ritual. Every rite of passage refutes biological procreation and replaces it with sociological reproduction.birth and regeneration.The figure below shows that the priest performs the part of ‘virgin mother,’ (the Holy Mother Church) at baptisms and weddings, the best man (nonos and kumbaros) plays the part of God the Father. 1 Thus, social procreation replaces natural birth thereby maintaining the logical consistency in the Asi Goniaot thought. In this social inversion of the natural world men and women have a common goal—resurrection and immortality. The result is a warm, gallery-style piece that settles into kitchens, entryways, and cozy living rooms — a quiet focal point that holds your gaze and invites conversation.Product features- Two paper choices: textured fine art (310 gsm) or bright semi-gloss photo paper (260 gsm)- Matte black 100% pinewood frame with brown paper backing and shatter-proof plexiglass- Pre-installed top hanging hardware plus rubber bumpers to keep the frame straight and the wall safe- Vibrant, high-definition printing for bright, accurate colors- Available in 10 sizes and both horizontal and vertical orientations; assembled in the USACare instructions- Clean framed prints with a slightly wet cloth when necessary.
