The purpose of establishing a memorial organization is to streamline donations. The memorial is clearly being built as a public institution to memorialize a national event.The Met displays the religious artifacts as part of a collection of art and culture from the ages. They are chosen due to their artistic significance regardless of the subject matter portrayed therein. This cross is by its very nature not the work of a human being or any conscious being. It is being treated as significant because a random event is being ascribed religious significance. Look at it this way: Even if future generations don't understand the meaning of this work (an example actually from the Met and significant), they can still appreciate the work that went into it. If on the other hand a society without Christians discovered this cross in some rubble, it would be melted down for scrap as insignificant. |
