Question:
How, where, and since when did the Catholic images and pictures, which the Catholic worship at present, originate? Including the rosary and the holy water?
Answer:
Let us read, “Pananampalataya ng Ating mga Ninuno Aklat Katoliko” (The Faith of our Fathers: A Catholic Book on p.164). The doctrine of the Catholic Church regarding the use of sacred images is clearly and fully authorized by the general council of Trent. The images of Christ, Virgin Mother and of the saints had to be seen especially in churches, according to this book.
Therefore, it all started when the General Council of Trent was established. When the Pope in Rome called for a Council in Trent, a doctrine was formulated. They gave a directive that the sacred images of Mary and other saints should be placed in their houses, most especially in churches. Thus, it did not start during the time of the Apostles. It only started when the Council of Trent was established, and this was also written in the Catholic Encyclopedia.
