A Stained Glass Window for A Doll's Church

        I restored this image of a stained glass window for those of you who would like to construct a doll sized church. I depicts Jesus as The Good Shepherd, with a staff, sheep, lamb, wilderness, and breaking daylight in the background. Doll crafters may also search our other collections of stained glass clip art at the Christian Clipart Review blog linked below. Those images may also be used for personal crafts like: model buildings, dollhouses and journals as well.

Church Catechisms

The Catechism Lesson by Jules-Alexis Meunier.

       What is a Catechism? A Catechism is an elementary book containing a summery of principles in any science or art, but particularly in religion, reduced to the form of questions and answers. The first regular catechisms appear to have been compiled in the eighth and ninth centuries, those by Kero of Saint Gall and Otfried of Weisenburg being most famous. Among protestants the catechisms of Luther (1518, 1520 and 1529) acquired great celebrity and continue to be used wherever Lutherans still live. The catechism of the Church of England in the first book of Edward VI, March 7, 1549, contained merely the baptismal vow, the creed, the ten commandments and the Lord's prayer, with explanations. The part relative to the sacraments was added at the revision of the liturgy, during the reign of James I. The catechism of the Church of Scotland is that agreed upon by the Assembly of Divines at Westminster, with the assistance of commissioners from the Church of Scotland and approved of by the General Assembly in the year 1648. What is called the Shorter Catechism is merely an abridgement of the Larger and is the one in most common use.
       Parents may wish to visit those websites online that teach their own church's version of the Christian or Jewish Catechism to incorporate into doll play. It is not our intent to draw children apart from the beliefs of their parents here, moreover it is to encourage parents to integrate their family's faith into the doll play of their children. That being said, catechisms are very much the same from one Christian group to another.

A Lovely Church Interior for Doll Photography

Our doll Sophie stands in front of a terrific
background for our doll church school.

       This lovely church interior is by photographer Simon Bowen. It is of St. Andrews in Lincolnshire. If you would like to print a copy and use it for your doll's background you may do so. It is in the International Creative Commons and may be used for children's personal photography backgrounds. Parents may visit the official web site for the International Creative Commons to insure that their little ones are using it correctly. Thank you again Mr. Bowen for such a nice contribution!
