Choragic Monuments. The small monuments to which we apply this term originated in = the time of Pericles, who built an Odeon at Athens for music= al contests, not of single persons, but of choruses.

If his chorus were victorious, he had also the right of pla= cing upon a monument erected at his own cost, the tripod, which was given as a prize.

$H Christina, St.

Christina, St. Chris= tina is a purely legendary saint, and the legend concerning her has been rejected= by the Catholic Church. She is said to have been the daughter of a Roman patrician named Urbanus. She was early conver= ted to the Christian faith and adopted the name Christina. She incurred her fath= er's displeasure, says the legend, by breaking up his idols of gold and silver, and distributing them among the poor. He ordered her to be thrown into th= e lake of Bolsena with a mill‑stone round her neck, but the mill‑stone proved a supp= ort to her, and she was not drowned. She is said to have at last won the crow= n of martyrdom, being shot to death by the arrows of Roman soldiers. Her proper attribute is the mill‑stone, but she is sometimes represented beari= ng arrows and the crown of martyrdom.(1891a1)

Christina, St. The attributes of this saint, who suffered martyrdom in the year 300, are a millstone by her side, and an arrow; sometimes also a knife and a pair of pincers; also, the crown and palm as martyr. When the arrow is the only attribute, it is difficult to distinguish her from St. Ursula. Pictures of this saint abound in central and northern Italy, particularly at Venice, and at Bolsena, of which city she is the patroness. (1855f1)

$H Christopher, St.

Christopher, St. Acc= ording to the legend St. Christopher was a Canaanitish giant named Offero, whose desire it was to se= rve the most powerful king in the world. A hermit urged him to serve Christ by dwelling on the banks of a turbid stream and helping wayfarers to cross i= t. At length one night he heard a child's voice calling to him, "Christ= opher, carry me over this night." He raised the infant on his shoulders, but soon found his burden growing heavier and heavier, and at last tottered beneath the weight. When finally he reached the oppo= site bank he found that he had borne Christ, and henceforth was called Christopher. He suffered martyrdom at Samos, and is represented in art with = the infant Christ on his shoulders.(1891a1)

Christopher, St. = = We frequently meet with this saint in old woodcuts; he is represented as a giant, his staff being the stem of a large tree, and he is carrying the infant Jesus on his shoulders across a river. This was a favourite subject with the artists of the middle ages, and the saint is placed in the side entrances of German churches as the symbol of the transition from heathen= ism to Christianity, but principally in accordance with the ancient superstit= ious belief alluded to by Erasmus, in his Praise of Folly, which induced people to suppose, that the day on which they should see a figure of this saint, they should neither meet with a violent death, nor die without confession. The incidents in the life of this saint chosen for illustration by painters, consist of the passage of the river,= the conversion of the heathen at Samos, an= d his martyrdom. (1855f1)

In modern times the sculptor <= span class=3DSpellE>Simart, at the instance of the Duke de Luynes, has attempted to restore the Athena of the Parthenon, and his work was exhibited at the Universal Exhibition of 1855.(1891a1)

Chryselephantine. (Gr.) Religious images of gold= and ivory. These, the earliest images of the gods in Greece, were of wood, gi= lt or inlaid with ivory, whence were derived ACROLITES, the heads, arms, and feet of which were of marble, the body still of wood, inlaid with ivory, = or quite covered with gold. From this arose the chryselephantine statues, of which the foundation was of wood, covered with ivory or gold, with drapery and hair of thin plates of gold, chased, and the rest of the exterior was= of ivory worked in a pattern by the scraper and file, with the help of isinglass. The ivory portion of these works belongs to SCULPTURE, and the gold part to TOREUTIC art; they were long in favour as temple statues, as marble and brass were used for common purposes. (1855f1)

Chrysocolla (Gr.), GOLD GREEN. The Greek term for a green pigment prepared from copper (GREEN VERDITER), and one of the most beautiful ancient green= s, ARMENIAN GREEN. It was obtained by grinding varieties of MALACHITE and gr= een carbonate of copper, also by decomposing the blue vitriol of Cyprus (sulphate of copper) as a sec= ondary form of dissolved copper ore. This pigment is identical in colour with our different shades of MOUNTAIN GREEN; the best was brought from Armenia; a second kind was found near co= pper mines in Macedonia; = the third, and most valuable, was brought from Spain. CHRYSOCOLLA (called = by ancient painters pea or grass green) was valued in proportion as its colour approached to the tint of a seed beginning to sprout. * =

* Pliny's = account of CHRYSOCOLLA is as confused as his account of CERULEUM; we learn thus m= uch from it, that real chrysocolla was a native oxide of copper, but that tho= se pigments passed under the same name, which, though originally blue, perha= ps clay-coloured with copper, were rendered green by a yellow vegetable acid. The herb lutum produced this effect. It was of two sorts: the one preserved as a paste, the other as a liquid. It was also termed crobit= is. (1855f1)<= /p>
