A. The art and music of this religious group is sacred and reserved solely for their religious events.



B. The art and music of this religious group is part of their historic tradition and can even be studied in non-religious or public school classes.



C. The art and music of this religious group was a secret known only to the highest priests and clergy.



D. Eastern Orthodox Christians do not believe in music and would never contribute their artistic talents to ?outsiders.?

Answer 1

I believe the correct answer is B. The art and music of this religious group is part of their historic tradition and can even be studied in non-religious or public school classes.
Art can never be separated from history - they are intertwined and almost always studied together. The same thing goes for Eastern Orthodox Christians - they study art and music as part of some of their subjects in school, regardless of the fact that they are considered to be 'religious.'
