Sažetak

Sacral art makes the Sacred present. Sacral art makes the Sacred visible, moreover explains it, interprets it, and presages it. Sacral art does not exist without its essential content - faith. Christian faith is faith in one, holy, eternal and almighty God who is the Creator. The Creator has neither the beginning nor the end - he is one with our idea of Infinite. Infinity is, however, a philosophical term and has no equivalence in the Bible. The experiences associated with it are nontheless clearly described in the Scriptures and in the theological tradition: the experience of God is closely related to the awareness that there are limits to our thinking and our world. In the Judeo-Christian religious tradition, and then likewise in fine arts, the Infinite is often referred to as „Eternal“. Although the etymology of the Croatian word „eternity“ („vječnost“) refers to „age“ („vijek“), and „age“ is a limited period, „eternity“ as a typical religious concept has become the expression of the Infinite.
