Newly Invented Christian Metal Art Product to Adorn Headstones
Headstone art is not a common term but with the unveiling of a new metal art product, it’s looking like an extremely nice way to honor loved ones; for those who are Christian there’s no more appropriate symbol than an angel. In fact the product is called Angels for Loved Ones. They are theft-proof, with a clamp and locking chain, and vandals may not want the bad luck of hammering an angel. Metal-sculpture artist Todd Moore has patented this design, his angelic vision to enhance cemetery memorials.
The angels are in the small manufacturing stage so it will take time for the public to become aware of their possibilities as unique gifts and beautiful adornments for places other than cemeteries. Only good reviews are expected of course – no one wants to take the chance of roasting in the red hot coals of you-know-where for a trashing of such a holy item.
It would be safe to say that religious artwork is exempt from being defined as graven images, for strict purists who may question displays of holy forms. Part of the mystique of spirituality within churches is the artistic design of churches. In the case of the Catholic Church the Vatican has collected many centuries worth of valuable art. The wealth of churches allows them to decorate lavishly to attract followers. It is only natural to gather a church membership by making the surroundings of worship as pleasurable as possible. Rich people have enough money to give generously to their church so courting a high class of parishioners is always desirable.
People spend large amounts of money on granite grave markers and memorial headstones so it stands to reason that a small investment of less than $300 to augment the pious atmosphere of quiet areas containing cemetery headstones if only to be holier-than-thou with the sculpted metal angels reaching heavenward with their prayers. Reality is what you make it, whether superficial or deep. In any case the memory of loved ones is the reason family goes to visit the cemetery and bring personal remembrance to ancestors and more recently deceased family or friends.
It is expected that the metal angels will become popular for patios and backyards – something new in the line of Christian gifts is always welcome where consumers have some extra money to decorate lavishly. It is often impossible to figure out what kind of new unique gift to get for someone close that would be considered extra thoughtful. The Angels for Love Ones units can clamp onto several widths of headstones or other objects. There would be no need to worry about re-gifting for this would be something you wouldn’t be able to get from anywhere else.
The Angels for Loved Ones certainly deserve points for originality and taste. They come in a number of textured colors including white, pink, blue, copper with black fleck, bronze with black fleck, and silver with black fleck. These colors have been chosen to blend in with the granite surroundings and provide nice contrasts in the light of various times of day.
These metal angels are ordered from the company website and delivered to anywhere in the U.S. or Canada. They are easy to install but care should be taken to order the right size clamp so it’s a good idea to measure the thickness of the memorial so that the correct clamp can be delivered. Aside from that, it only requires a wrench to affix the angel to the granite monument. Then you will have the angel with its eternal flame over the resting place of someone very dear who will be missed.
