A statue of an angel holding a mobile phone has been unveiled at St John’s Cathedral in the southern Dutch city of 's-Hertogenbosch. The cathedral features a lot of statues. Among them gargoyle like statuettes on the flying buttresses.

More pictures of the cathedral.

At first the artist meant to give the angel a jet pack instead of wings.
But this idea did not get approval.

This makes sense. With the explosion in human beings over the last 150 years and all the complications that entails, angels just do not have time for dashing back and forth to heaven to get new instructions. A cell phone is a perfect gift for your favorite seraph-on-the-go! Plus, it has a really good MP3 player, so even one angel can give a proper Holy! Holy! Holy! on a moment's notice. get with the times, guys.

And the LORD took Metatron up to the iPlaces and saith unto him: Metatron, hullo? It is the LORD.

And Metatron heard him not, for he had been dwelling in the valley of Cupertino and had entered into the loops of the infinite, and had forgotten the ways of righteousness.

And the LORD saith again: Hullo? Metatron? Look, I know you're there, I'm good at the knowing thing.

But still Metatron did not answer, for his false idol was deaf, even unto the deafness of a post, such as the high priests of Cupertino worship in the anechoic chambers of the ungodly.

The LORD was furious and mighty in his wrath, and saith to himself: Right. That's the way they want it. I shall smite them.

And the LORD saith: I shall cause a plague of angry birds to descend upon all the Earth, yea. even with a herd of evil swine, so that the race of men shall spend their days in fruitless poking and prodding, and none shall take unto themselves a wife, nor toil fruitfully in the vineyard, nor hit a deadline to save their lives. I'm good at the smiting thing.

Loud were the lamentations on the face of the Earth, and the tribes cried even unto the LORD: You are our god. Give us our life back. It wasn't our fault. Bloody Metatron. It's not as if we were using Windows Phone 7.

The LORD softened his heart, and proclaimed: Although thou art sinful, I shall give this sign: that the batteries of thy gizmos shall be weak and the power drain away to nothing. Rest and be thankful for my mercy.

But the priests of Cupertino were sore affronted and caused to be said throughout the land: The next one will have double the battery life, and the one after that, even unto the ninth generation.

And Metatron, who had by now found the place of signal, read this upon the blogs of the heathen and saith: this will not end well...

Here's the stained-glass panel containing the 9/11 attacks as part of the depiction of hell, as described in the Radio Netherlands article.

I like the cell phone angel. The best of Christian art (especially in cathedrals) contains both modern motifs as well as traditional depictions, and the silly as well as the serious.

The tapestries of the saints at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles, opened in 2002, contain "anonymous" saints that look like regular people of Los Angeles, including young boys wearing sneakers, which created a bit of a furore as stuffy people insisted that never before had the noble art of tapestries been debased by depicting SNEAKERS. To which I say, THPBPBPBPBPT. (A few people were also upset about the normal-person naked baby.)

Wouldn't it make more sense for everyone if the angel was holding a base station antenna instead of a mobile? Not only would the angel radiate more powerfully, she could collect at little rent from the company that owns the antenna, which is nice.

I like the idea of a contemporary figure among the medieval ones on this church. The church is from 1525 and many generations have done their part in preserving it.
A long time from now, a century, centuries, who knows, there will still be a token of the part that this generation played in handing this cathedral to our grandchildren and generations after them.

Which brings us to the most important issue -- this angel is sensibly wearing pants. After literally millennia of heavenly visitors floating in the air, leaving awestruck mortals with the difficult choice of a) looking away in embarrassment (thus ruining the whole effect of angels floating majestically in the air) b) staring up the angel's gown in possibly greater embarrassment, or c) staring up the angel's gown in some sort of pervy enjoyment (generally leading to smiting, hell, or both), an angel has hit on the idea of pants. Yay, angel!

Oh, and you do all know that angels don't actually exist? The question of whether they have genitalia and a working knowledge of modern communication devices is a bit moot. Also, they were often depicted in contemporary military uniforms (now there's a movie waiting to be made. May it wait.) and, in the Bible, could apparently be mistaken for ordinary people. With hilarious consequences.

Ha! I am not sure Gaiman and Pratchett should be taken as the last word in theology (angelology? Is that a word? The internet seems to think so, but then the internet thinks a lot of things). On the other hand, I don't have a good reason why they shouldn't be the last word....

Still, angels with pants and cellphones; I'm all for them, at least as a form of decoration. Throwing down the Fire and the Brimstone? I am less in favor.

How can there be anonymous saints?

I'm using the term Eyebrows McGee quoted. From the pictures it looks like they're in some procession of saints but the individuals aren't designed with traditionally representative signs of specific saints. Instead they're made to look like modern people, in this case residents of the city. The point that people are missing is that that's how medieval artists depicted saints a lot of the time: like the people around them. It's not like medieval painters and sculptors had more inside knowledge of how long-dead saints looked and dressed any more than an artist working today does.

(Unless you want to get into divine inspiration, which as an atheist I don't believe in. In any case I'm highly suspicious of divine revelations that favor traditional forms and deprecate modern or unfamiliar representations. I find these more revealing about the people who claim them than the art involved.)

@pompomtom, all Christians, living and dead, are members of the "Communion of Saints." Official saints are just, you know, official. :) But it's perfectly proper to refer to any Christian as a "saint" if you want to. (And it makes parts of Paul's letters make a heck of a lot more sense.)

Part of what makes the tapestries in Los Angeles so powerful is that, if you notice, all the depicted figures are looking at the altar and worshiping with the congregation ... it's a very powerful, visual depiction of this idea of the communion of saints and that all Christians, living and dead, are part of the same body. It's literally making you all part of the same congregation. So it's nice that some "anonymous" (and modern) saints are included, to even more closely tie the "great" saints of history in the tapestries to the lowly, everyday saints in the pews.

Another thing that's nice about the tapestries is that a lot of the early saints get their ethnicities back -- Felicity and Perpetua, for example -- since it was so common to depict all saints as lily-white in European religious art. Understandable in many historic cases, but today, if we know a saint was North African, it's a little silly to depict him as if he were the most Swedish dude ever. That was a deliberate choice to better have the tapestries reflect the ethnic diversity of modern Angelinos -- and many of the lesser-known saints were chosen to reflect that diversity as well -- and all of the life-models for the tapestries were local people. Which is another way of tying the local, modern congregation to the whole diversity and history of the Church and the entirety of the "Communion of Saints."

Which brings us to the angel wearing jeans (one of the articles says they're jeans) and carrying a cellphone -- it's important that religious art (as a whole, not in each individual piece) represent the whole history of the Church. In a building like a cathedral, the art SHOULD wed the ancient and the historic and the recent and the modern. It's an ongoing narrative of the life of the people of God; it didn't just STOP 2000 years ago. And there's definitely value to things hallowed by time, but if that's the only thing hallowing them, ur doin it rong. If pants and cell phones seem not religious enough to you (general you, not you-you, pompomtom), your idea of religion is a bit narrow. The Franciscan Friar who married me always wore a beeper on his rope belt ... he got beeped to the local jail a lot because he was the only semi-authority-figure locally who could translate from Spanish. Slightly incongruous, yes, but hardly irreligious.

As others noted above, many cathedrals that have undergone renovations since WWII now have stained glass windows that include atoms, astronauts, DNA, and other nifty modern things. It's quite traditional to have panels in stained glass windows that depict human labor of various sorts (smiths, wheelwrights, etc.), often with associated patron saints; so of course as we come up with new and nifty human discoveries, that too should be included in the stained glass windows.

I saw a piece of religious mural art with a trompe l'oeil border (as is common), with little hidden figures in the border (also common) from the original muralist's times. The restorer who restored the border and the mural added a couple of his own little hidden figures in the border (also typical), including a tiny Kermit the Frog. Finding the art is left as an exercise for the reader. ;)

Here's another bit of modern iconography, if you like -- Fr. Mychal Judge, the FDNY chaplain who was killed ministering to the fire fighters at the Twin Towers when the first tower fell, is already depicted in religious art, almost always in his Franciscan habit and carrying his FDNY helmet.

There is a small stained glass window in a united church here in toronto, that depicts a dude mowing his lawn. I always found that wonderuflly holy.

I wished i liked the LA tapestries more--the theology is good to great on them, and they don't have the weird icon painting style of Lentz that always struck me as a little missing the point, but aesthetically they do little for me.

Now, the Richter window, that's something!

Because when you visit 16th-century cathedrals, the statuary in 16th-century clothing, feature 16th-century iconography, doing 16th-century things stands out as trashy?

The art of 1500 or 1600 isn't unique in that it showed The Truth Of Christianity For All Time. It's just, for whatever reason, people have decided, "Oh, yes, that weirdly anachronistic 16th century wealthy aristocrat's outfit Mary is wearing MUST be what Mary really wore in Biblical times! But putting her in blue jeans, THAT'D be heretical! Much too modern! Not reverent enough!"

(Also, go to your average 16th-century cathedral, and maybe 1% of tourist visitors know ANYTHING about the iconography of the place, even when it's super-common and "obvious" -- I can't remember how many times I've reminded my husband that the dude with the upsidedown cross is Peter. Who's going to know what any of it is?)

Umberto Eco has a great scene late in The Name of the Rose where the main character is pretty much awash in saints -- trying to spot them from their attributions is an enjoyable puzzle (for a certain kind of iconography nerd, I admit). But what do you expect from a Semiotician?

I wasn't comparing it on trashiness, but rather the probability of regret later. I would hope that they have plans of keeping St. Johns standing for a very long time, and it seems creating a very permanent tribute to a trend in technology, albeit a very large and important trend*, might be a bad idea.

*That is not to say that cell phone technology isn't important, or that it is a fad, or that we won't be using similar technology for a very long time, but rather that the physical small rectangular chunk of plastic that you hold up to your head seems, to me, an already vanishing icon.

And well-tailored slacks can be extremely impressive, in my opinion.

No doubt, though frankly those pants don't fit that angel but so well.

I stick by my point, however. Consider the litany of flying anthropomorphic creatures - Angels, Superman, Batman, Thor, Dracula - they tend to go in for that flutter in the breeze look. Because it's impressive, enthralling, exciting in a way that a pair of Levi just aren't.

(Yes, I know, there are exceptions, but they are pathetic. Peter Pan, who is a well known JD, or Tink, who is over time getting more an more creepy. Hermes, despite the lurid imaginings of certain torso obsessed Renaissance artists in his own time sported a cape. D listers such as Wonder Woman at the outset respected the tradition with that skirt, and even now substitutes her hair, but the principle of flutter holds - anyway, come on - Wonder Woman? No, the Headliners come with loose fabric. )

But what do I know? I still mourn the capitulation of Club 21 to the heathen tie-less.

You bunch of blind people don't want to understand and worse don't want to realize that, that angel is "Angel Hillary Clinton" communicating with "arch-angel Obama" and informing him that all her efforts to try to convince the rest of the world of the dangers of this moment are being in vane. The rest of the world seeing that the Japanese people which had been the only ones to have suffered in the past the nuclear attacks and now are battling with some success the troubles of nuclear exposure; are beginning to believe that nuclear bombing is not such a terrible thing, will eventually involve the whole world in a nuclear bombing attack. - Now all those extra terrestrial invaders that some of us have seen and they picture as short people with big heads like upside down pear and huge eyes, they are just surviving mutated "US".. that we come back to the past for some reasons (since in the future we are going to find out that traveling in time is easy and effective than traveling to far constellations) to understand our history, since we didn't do enough to understand that the coming of Jesus Two thousand years ago was a last effort to try to convince us without interacting to heavily in the future, that we really needed to help each other instead of hating. (Some call it "Love each other"). Using some preserved sperms they inseminated "Maria" and with the "Knowledge from the future" Jesus tried to teach us some "share instead of greed" and all those ignorant (apostolic) fisherman's were provided with an "Invisible chip" that we developed (Not now just yet, but in the future) and that chip gave then knowledge. Is the same chip that we all now carry (some call it "The Holly spirit") but is just a powerful invisible chip that is recording every damn word and movement (actions) that we performe in our entire life, and all of that is being sent and recorded in a big God Damn computer that has the records of every living creature. All those records are analyzed and the good acts are kept in memory and all those unwise stupid actions are deleted. When you die your file is analyzed and if it is OK then they keep it (You are in heaven) and if it is no good you're dumped and all your records deleted...(you are in Hell)!!... Beware!!
