Religious Door Decorations



There used to be a time, maybe 20 years ago, when every good catholic would announce their faith by nailing a religious symbol on the front door. Religious door decorations are no longer fashionable in southern europe, which is a pity because they add a bit of character and are very camp. You can still find these images of Christ, strangely they are usually sold in florists for a few cents.

  1. These are really nice. I take shots like this as well. I love walls etc...
    construction sites too.

  2. Very beautiful, especially on the aged surfaces. So glad you're recording them if they're disappearing.

    (p.s. I'm wondering why they are "out of fashion" in Southern Europe now? What is changing?)
