Leshchenko A. Explication of theChristian sacred art: of coevolutionary resonance context

The research grounds the role and significance of the religious symbol in the co-evolutionary nature of the sacred art. The mechanisms of extrapolation of Christian sacred meanings and its basic principles are grounded. It is proved that co-evolutionary effect that manifests itself through formation of the perception by a believer a sacred image simultaneously with its identity with corresponding sacred prototype based on his psychological preference of attractive features, is ensured due to the religious resonance that together ensure the co-evolutionary resonance nature of the Christian sacred art functioning. The nature of the religious resonance is determined as a psychological state of a person that at the same time is the result and condition for perception of a sacred sense of a symbolic art image appearing in the perception process of psychic mechanisms of interiorization and extrapolation. The functionality of the religious resonance and its axiological sense is grounded. The effect of the impact of sacred art works, their synthesis on believers as for functionality and their co-evolutionary resonance nature is determined. The organic connection between co evolutionary processes and resonance phenomena is reasoned where the religious resonance is functionally aimed at ensuring religious processes of a person's adjustment to the ideas of Christian religion through perception of sacred art works.
