ST. LUKE paintings?

[AAC08]

Wiki

Emm… so? I don’t mind if St. Luke painted or not.
Maybe you will find scientific evidence that he did paint Mary. Wiki did’nt say that somebody tested it or not, maybe only that they did’nt know of the existance of science to support the tradition.

sir, I think you have a wrong testimony with regards to it. and even you is also in doubt whether Apostle Luke painted it or not…

Can you site to me a secular source that Apostle Luke painted those images, please?

You misunderstand me. I don’t mind if St. Luke painted or not.
But, Tradition is also evidence. Its evidence for most of what you know and believe, AAC08.
If you have scientific test results to show me that the wood on Mary’s icon is less than 2000 years old I would be pleased to look at them.
Just saying there is no scientific results is saying nothing really.

I’m not talking about INFALLIBILITY my friend, I am simply talking about two human opinions.

Which is more believable. You, with all your internet research and Catholic education, OR Cardinal Ratzinger with all his researchers, Catholic Education, plus the VATICAN LIBRARY.

OK. But I’m still confused. If our Pope (yours and mine) says that he was never in southern India, does that mean he could not have done the icon. He was in another part of India, this I believe is accepted even by our pope.

Do you have any objective scientific proof that St Luke wrote the Gospel of Luke?

I would like to hear your thoughts on this as well, AAC08.

as i read on the Wikipedia.com it says,

Another Christian tradition states that he was the first iconographer, and painted pictures of the Virgin Mary (The Black Madonna of Częstochowa) and of Peter and Paul. Thus late medieval guilds of St Luke in the cities of Flanders, or the Accademia di San Luca (“Academy of St Luke”) in Rome, imitated in many other European cities during the 16th century, gathered together and protected painters. There is no scientific evidence to support the tradition that Luke painted icons of Mary and Jesus, though it was widely believed in earlier centuries, particularly in Eastern Orthodoxy. The tradition also has support from the Saint Thomas Christians of India who claim to still have one of the Theotokos icons that St Luke painted and Thomas brought to India.

Your POPE ALSO doesn’t have much faith that THOMAS going to SOUTH INDIA.

how come many catholics approve those paintings which are even so doubtful to be said that St. Luke painted those such?

Are you talking specifically about these two traditions, or about the Tradition?
