Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Pueblo and Christian traditions are unified in the design.
2. The high altar is covered with floral motifs that approximate European woven tapestries.
3. Images depict Christian saints (St. Joseph holding the Christ Child, St. John Nepomuk, and St. Barbara) and Christian themes such as the Trinity.
4. Also incorporated in the ensemble are Pueblo motifs, including a buffalo skin painted with the sun, moon, and stars; symbols of the Horned Water Snake, god of lightning and rain; and three mountains with the eyes and mouth of a kachina.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Followers cultivate a spiritual practice that will allow them to ultimately experience transcendence, and images can encourage these practices.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
