<i><b>Lucifer </b>Calaritanus (Italian: Lucifero da Cagliari) (d. May 20, 370 or 371) was a bishop of Cagliari in Sardinia known for his passionate opposition to Arianism. He is venerated as a Saint in Sardinia, though his status remains controversial.</i><br />

<br />
Saint <b>Lucifer</b>, better as known as 'Lucifer Calaritanus', or in the Italian language 'Lucifero da Cagliari' is apparently seen by at least some observers a a 'controversial' Saint of the Catholic Church. Even so, anyone that has studied Church history knows quite weell that since Saint Lucifer passed away in the year 371, niire than 1,600 years ago, the likelihood of his actual Sainthood ever being officially revoked by the Church is basically zero and will probably remain that way forever. So any reader who has a burning desire to de-Saint 'Lucifer' should give up now, because it's never going to happen. In other words, Saint Lucifer is here to stay, no matter what new dirt historians may dig up on him even today.<br />

<u>Saint<b> Lucifer's</b> Biography</u><br />
<u><i><br /></i></u>
<i>Lucifer first appears in history as an envoy from Liberius of Rome to the Emperor Constantius II, requesting the convening of a church council. At the Council of Milan in 354 or 355 he defended Athanasius of Alexandria against Arian attempts to secure his condemnation by Western bishops. It was reported that Constantius II, a supporter of Arian theology, confined Lucifer for three days in the palace, where Lucifer continued to argue vehemently. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Along with Eusebius of Vercelli and Dionysius of Milan, he was exiled. He travelled first to Syria, then to Palestine and finally to Thebes in Egypt. While in exile, he wrote fiery pamphlets to the emperor in which he proclaimed himself to be ready to suffer martyrdom for his beliefs. After the death of Constantius and the accession of Julian the Apostate, Lucifer was able to return from exile in 362.</i><br />

<u>The Sainthood of <b>Lucifer</b></u><br />
Lucifer's status as a Saint is a matter of controversy. According to John Henry Blunt's 1874 Dictionary of Sects, Heresies, Ecclesiastical Parties, and Schools of Religious Thought:<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br />
"The Church of Cagliari celebrated the feast of a Saint Lucifer on the 20th of May. Two Archbishops of Sardinia wrote for and against the sanctity of Lucifer. The Congregation of the Inquisition imposed silence on both parties, and decreed that the veneration of Lucifer should stand as it was. The Bollandists defend this decree of the Congregation ... contending that the Lucifer in question is not the author of the schism, but another Lucifer who suffered martyrdom in the persecution of the Vandals."<br />

How devout or traditional of a believer he actually was, we do not know, but it was definitely Christianity (and nothing else) that inspired the Eye theme, not Freemasonry. Here is why:<br />

<i>TITLE: Supper at Emmaus </i><br />
<i>DATE: 1525</i><br />
<i>ARTIST: Pontormo Carucci</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>During a frugal meal, served by the monks who commissioned the painting, two disciples recognize Christ after the Resurrection, (Luke: 24). The naturalistic details precede the genre scenes of 17th century painting. Following the Council of Trent (1545 -1563) the eye of God seen above replaced the three-faced head of the Trinity. It was painted for the guesthouse of the Carthusian monastery at Galluzzo. However, following the suppression of convents, the work was transferred to the Accademia in 1810 and later to the collection of the Uffizi Gallery in 1948.</i><br />

<br />
<i>The eye that looks out from the top of Jacopo Pontormo's painting, "Cena in Emmaus" is, to say the least, mysterious. Art is indeed what the vision makes of it but someone still has to bring the meal on a plate.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The triangle could be read simply as a symbol of Trinity but the artist has done a rare thing, surpassing even the best intentions of a modern surrealist. While we are looking at the painting, the painting is also looking at us. If we connect this observation with the apparition of the Resurrected Christ before two of his disciples, the painting, by its composition, studies the nature of belief. It makes us rethink what Christ's resurrection meant to the disciples and by extension to Christians themselves. The painting reveals that the resurrection was a powerful 'visual' event. The affirmation of the 'truth' is in what the eye sees. We may suddenly realise that not only can God see everything, but we too can see him through Jesus as an incarnation. Belief is a reciprocal event. He shows not only just his earthly presence but that Man is indeed made in his image. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>God can now not only be 'believed in' but actually perceived using our senses.</i><br />

The popular novel, "The DaVinci Code" by Dan Brown tells of how <strong>there is a six-pointed star hidden within the drawing. </strong>One idea around the <strong>six-pointed star </strong>is that the 2 intersecting triangles represent a symmetrical union of male (yang) and female (yin). </span></em></p><p><p><em><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;">I have seen some constructions within the drawing that have been made by others, towards the end of espousing certain conclusions.

The two interlocking tetrahedrons together form a solid called a star tetrahedron.</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;">To review, you have a perfect six-pointed <strong>Star of David </strong>in DaVinci's drawing, which can be extended into a three-dimensional star tetrahedron, unfolding a story about unknown hyper-dimensional physical forces </span></em></p></p><p><p><em><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;">The symmetry and synchronicity of this is amazing.

<i>(Magen David, Shield of David)- The Star of David is the primary modern emblem of the Jewish religion. How it came to be such is a matter of some debate. Legend has it that the emblem was used by the Biblical King David (hence the name Magen David, or “shield of David”). In reality, it was not associated specifically with the faith until the middle ages, when it began to appear on flags, tombstones, and synagogue decorations. It is probably not coincidental that the symbol was important to the flourishing kabbalistic tradition of the same time period. Kabbalistically, the hexagram symbolizes the six directions of space, the divine union of male and female energy, and the four elements. The Star of David is also important in the Rastafarian and Messianic Christian faiths. </i><br />

- Theodore Roosevelt, Former U.S. President (1901-1909)<br />
<i><br />A thorough knowledge of the <b>Bible </b>is worth more than a college education. </i><br />
<br />
- Theodore Roosevelt, Former U.S. President (1901-1909)<br />
<br />
<i>Every thinking man, when he thinks, realizes that the teachings of the <b>Bible</b> are so interwoven and entwined with our whole civic and social life that it would be literally-I do not mean figuratively, but literally-impossible for us to figure what that loss would be if these teachings were removed. We would lose all the standards by which we now judge both public and private morals; all the standards towards which we, with more or less resolution, strive to raise ourselves.</i><br />

<i>When you have read the<b> Bible</b>, you know it is the word of God, because it is the key to your heart, your own happiness, and your own duty.</i><br />
<br />
- Woodrow Wilson, Former U.S. President (1913-1921)<br />
<i><br />The<b> Bible </b>is the one supreme source of revelation of the meaning of life, the nature of God, and spiritual nature and needs of men. It is the only guide of life which really leads the spirit in the way of peace and salvation. </i><br />
<br />
- Woodrow Wilson, Former U.S. President (1913-1921)<br />
<br />
<i>America was born a Christian nation. America was born to exemplify that devotion to the elements of righteousness which are derived from the revelations of the <b>Bible.</b></i><b></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
- Woodrow Wilson, Former U.S. President (1913-1921)<br />
<i><br />The strength of our country is the strength of its religious convictions. The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the <b>Bible </b>that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our country.</i><br />
<br />
- Calvin Coolidge, U.S. President (1923-1929)<br />
<br />
<i>If American democracy is to remain the greatest hope of humanity, it must continue abundantly in the faith of the<b> Bible.</b></i><b></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
- Calvin Coolidge, Former U.S. President (1923-1929)<br />
<i><br />The whole inspiration of our civilization springs from the teachings of Christ and the lessons of the prophets. To read the <b>Bible </b>for these fundamentals is a necessity of American life. </i><br />
<br />
- Herbert Hoover, Former U.S. President (1929-1933)<br />
<i><br />The study of the<b> Bible</b> is a post-graduate course in the richest library of human experience.</i><br />
<br />
- Herbert Hoover, Former U.S. President (1929-1933)<br />
<br />
<i>Menaced by collectivist trends, we must seek revival of our strength in the spiritual foundations which are the bedrock of our republic. Democracy is the outgrowth of the religious conviction of the sacredness of every human life.

<i>It is a fountain of strength…I feel that a comprehensive study of the <b>Bible </b>is a liberal education for anyone.</i><br />
<br />
- Franklin D. Roosevelt, Former U.S. President (1933-1945)<br />
<br />
<i>We cannot read the history of our rise and development as a nation, without reckoning with the place the <b>Bible </b>has occupied in shaping the advances of the Republic. Where we have been the truest and most consistent in obeying its precepts, we have attained the greatest measure of contentment and prosperity.</i><br />
<br />
- Franklin D. Roosevelt, Former U.S. President (1933-1945)<br />
<i><br />The fundamental basis of this nation’s law was given to Moses on the Mount. The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teaching we get from the <b>Bible-</b> from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St. Paul. I don’t think we emphasize that enough these days. If we don’t have the proper fundamental moral background, we will finally end up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in the right for anybody except the state.</i><br />
<br />
- Harry S. Truman, Former U.S. President (1945-1953)<br />
<i><br />The spirit of man is more important than mere physical strength, and the spiritual fiber of a nation than its wealth. The <b>Bible</b> is endorsed by the ages. Our civilization is built upon its words. In no other book is there such a collection of inspired wisdom, reality, and hope.</i><br />
<br />
- Dwight D. Eisenhower, Former U.S. President (1953-1961)<br />

<i>Deep religious beliefs stemming from the Old and New Testaments of the<b> Bible </b>inspired many of the early settlers of our country, providing them with the strength, character, convictions, and faith necessary to withstand great hardship and danger in this new and rugged land.

<br />
- Ronald Reagan, Former U.S. President (1980-1988)<br />
<br />
<i>The <b>Bible </b>and its teachings helped form the basis for the Founding Fathers’ abiding belief in the inalienable rights of the individual, rights which they found implicit in the Bible’s teachings of the inherent worth and dignity of each individual. This same sense of man patterned the convictions of those who framed the English system of law inherited by our own Nation, as well as the ideals set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.</i><br />

<i>For centuries the <b>Bible’s</b> emphasis on compassion and love for our neighbor has inspired institutional and governmental expressions of benevolent outreach such as private charity, the establishment of schools and hospitals, and the abolition of slavery.</i><br />

<i>Inside the <b>Bible’s</b> pages lie the answers to all the problems that mankind has ever known. I hope Americans will read and study the Bible.</i><br />

I’m accused of being simplistic at times with some of the problems that confront us. But I’ve often wondered: Within the covers of that single Book are all the answers to all the problems that face us today, if we’d only look there. “The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, but the word of our God shall stand forever.” I hope Americans will read and study the <b>Bible</b> in [the coming year]. It’s my firm belief that the enduring values, as I say, presented in its pages have a great meaning for each of us and for our nation. The <b>Bible</b> can touch our hearts, order our minds, refresh our souls.</i><br />

<i>The Congress of the United States, in recognition of the unique contribution of the <b>Bible </b>in shaping the history and character of this Nation, and so many of its citizens, has by Senate Joint Resolution 165 authorized and requested the President to designate the year 1983 as the ‘Year of the <b>Bible.‘</b></i><br />

These shared beliefs helped forge a sense of common purpose among the widely dispersed colonies – a sense of community which laid the foundation for the spirit of nationhood that was to develop in later decades.</i><br />

<i><br />The <b>Bible </b>and its teachings helped form the basis for the Founding Fathers’ abiding belief in the inalienable rights of the individual, rights which they found implicit in the<b> Bible’s</b> teachings of the inherent worth and dignity of each individual. This same sense of man patterned the convictions of those who framed the English system of law inherited by our own Nation, as well as the ideals set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution</i>.<br />
