Abstract

In any act of worship, the believer sees a symbolic hint of a supersensitive world. Thus, the sensualistic aesthetics of antiquity gives place to the spiritualistic aesthetics of today. Although not only the spiritualism of the cult attracts believers. They also like the richness of the ritual, which shines with gold, silver, precious stones and colorful marble (it is usually about Catholics and Orthodox). And when a person listens to church singing, he sees the glow of endless lights reflected by gold on mosaics, when he looks closely at the images of saints and gospel scenes, then one feels on top of bliss.
