Throughout history, churches
have embraced different forms of art to create an atmosphere of worship that
the congregation appreciates. These different art forms aim to engage the
congregation and enhance their understanding of spiritual messages on a deeper
level. In most churches, the arts used include visual arts, theatre, and music.
St Peter Basilica in Vatican City, constructed on 18 November 1626, is a good
example of showcasing the different forms of art used in churches. Therefore,
visual arts, dance, and music have significantly impacted churches as they
contribute to the congregation's experiences while worshiping.
