St. Augustine resembled in the Gothic Style

St. Augustine connects to Gothic architecture through the main concept of light. First of all, St. Augustine began his life in darkness or in a very sinful way. He was always addicted to the thrill of sin beginning, with his fetish for stealing things just to steal. As he got older, the darkness or sin continued, however, in his older years sin took its form in adultery which Augustine just loved to commit. He would basically bang any good looking woman. From here, Augustine would break into the light through a sect of christianity called manicheanism, which he took the thought of light being in your soul and you had to do good to access it. From here on in, all his actions led to the creation of the portal for the light to enter his soul. The same case is set up for the Gothic architecture. The romanesque style which was its predecessor made the church very dark and dim. As a result, to let more light in, or god light in, the style was changed to gothic. The gothic style consists of pointy arches and LARGE clerestory windows which allow great amounts of light to enter the church. In addition, the light would display many colors representing the light of god. In both cases, light has come in representing god or the christian religion, and has always been the main focal point for change.
