Christ Child with Passion Symbols Unknown. Christ Child with Passion Symbols, late 17th century. Oil on canvas, 39 1/8 x 31 3/4in. (99.4 x 80.6cm). Religious paintings in private chapels often had both didactic and devotional purposes. From the sixteenth century, missionaries intent on imposing Catholic doctrine and Christian morality on native people promoted domestic scenes of the Holy Family such as The Carpenters Shop in Nazareth as models for proper family conduct. An oratory would also have been an apt location for a painting such as the Christ Child with Passion Symbols, whose emblematic elements made it particularly suitable for devotion. Las pinturas religiosas en las capillas privadas a menudo tenían objetivos tanto didácticos como piadosos. Desde el siglo XVI, la resolución de los misioneros de imponer la doctrina católica y la moralidad cristiana a los nativos estimuló el uso de escenas domésticas de la Sagrada Familia, tales como El Taller de Carpintero en Nazaret, como

Legong is a form of Balinese dance. It is a refined dance form characterized by intricate finger movements, complicated footwork, and expressive gestures and facial expressions. Legong probably originated in the 19th century as royal entertainment. Legend has it that a prince of Sukwati fell ill and had a vivid dream in which two maidens danced to gamelan music. When he recovered, he arranged for such dances to be performed in reality. Others believe that the Legong originated with the sanghyang dedari, a ceremony involving voluntary possession of two little girls by beneficent spirits. Legong is also danced at public festivals.
