Abstract: | One of the strangest situations in the world of Christian art is the presence in many cathedrals and churches of the zodiacal signs, considering the great theoretical debate and opposition among theologians that the practice of astrology has generated.The purpose of this paper is to point out the most important moments of the theoretical debates on the usefulness of astrology or the damage it can bring (see St. John Damaskinus, Origen, St. John Chrysostom) and how it came to be represented in the Christian iconography, as a form of timekeeping, among other things. |
Key words: | zodiacal signs, theological debates, astrology and church |
