(PHOTOS) 5 Faiths Friday

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By Tahlib
"Inspirer of Faith" by Andrew Kosorok
Since this is the start of the Holydays of Ramadan, I am including Andrew Kosorok's Islamic inspired glass sculpture in this post even though it wasn't part of this week's news. I simply find it an appropriate way to honor these Islamic Holydays. Now, below are the actual images from this week's religious art news from around the world for A&O 5 Faiths Fridays: (1) In Germany, an exhibition about Taboos in Judaism, Islam, and Christianity; (2) In Bangkok, artists give tribute to the grace of Buddhist monks; (3) In America, Mormons are pitted against other Christians by the news media; (4) In Spain, an Indian artist wins two gold medals for his sand sculpture of a Hindu deity; (5) and in Istanbul, a palace gallery opens with an elaborate exhibition of Islamic Art for the Holydays of Ramadan.
