Abstract

This paper aims to reflect on the role that art can play in religious initiation through its ability to give visibility to spiritual search. By articulating the concepts of language and tradition, it reflects on the ways in which religious culture is transmitted and renewed. It also focuses on the relationship between art, spirituality and religion
