Christian Mandala
Forms which
are evocative of mandalas are prevalent in Christianity: the celtic cross; the rosary; the halo; the aureole; oculi; theCrown of Thorns; rose windows; the Rosy Cross; and the dromenon on the floor of Chartres Cathedral. The dromenon
represents a journey from the outer world to the inner sacred centre where the
Divine is found.
Similarly, many of the
Illuminations of Hildegard von
Bingen can be used as mandalas,
as well as many of the images of esoteric
Christianity, as in Christian Hermeticism, Christian Alchemy, and Rosicrucianism.
