kept woman
A mistress is a
long-term female lover and companion who is not married to her partner; the
term is used especially when her partner is married. The relationship generally
is stable and at least semi-permanent; however, the couple does not live
together openly. Also the relationship is usually, but not always, secret.
There is an implication that a mistress may be "kept"—i.e., that the
lover is paying for some of the woman's living expenses.

The
Hooding Ceremony is a special recognition ceremony for doctoral degree
candidates during which a faculty advisor and the Dean of the Graduate School
place the doctoral hood over the head of the graduate, signifying his or her
success in completing the graduate program. The ceremony is similar to a graduation
in that faculty and students are dressed in academic attire. The Hooding
Ceremony is in addition to and does not replace the Wallace Wade Graduation
Exercises.
The Garden of Eden is
the biblical "garden of God", described most notably in the Book of
Genesis (Genesis 2-3), but also mentioned, directly or indirectly, in Ezekiel,
Isaiah and elsewhere in the Old Testament. In the past, the favoured derivation
of the name "Eden" was from the Akkadian edinnu, itself derived from
a Sumerian word meaning "plain" or "steppe", but it is now
believed to be more closely related to an Aramaic root meaning "fruitful,
well-watered."

Adam and Eve
Adam and Eve,
according to the creation story of the Abrahamic religions, were the first man
and woman. These religions teach that all humans are descended from Adam and
Eve.

Pietà
The Pietà (1498–1499)
is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture by Michelangelo Buonarroti, housed in
St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. It is the first of a number of works of
the same theme by the artist. The statue was commissioned for the French
cardinal Jean de Billheres, who was a representative in Rome. The sculpture, in
Carrara marble, was made for the cardinal's funeral monument, but was moved to
its current location, the first chapel on the right as one enters the basilica,
in the 18th century. It is the only piece Michelangelo ever signed.

Original
sin
Original
sin, also called ancestral sin, is, according to a Christian theological
doctrine, humanity's state of sin resulting from the fall of man, stemming from
Adam's rebellion in Eden. This condition has been characterized in many ways,
ranging from something as insignificant as a slight deficiency, or a tendency
toward sin yet without collective guilt, referred to as a "sin
nature", to something as drastic as total depravity or automatic guilt of
all humans through collective guilt.

Baptism
Baptism is a Christian
rite of admission (or adoption), almost invariably with the use of water, into
the Christian Church generally and also a particular church tradition. Baptism
has been called a sacrament and an ordinance of Jesus Christ. In some
traditions, baptism is also called christening, but for others the word
"christening" is reserved for the baptism of infants.
The term communion is
derived from Latin communio (sharing in common). The corresponding term in
Greek is κοινωνία, which is often translated as "fellowship". In
Christianity, the basic meaning of the term communion is an especially close
relationship of Christians, as individuals or as a Church, with God and with
other Christians. This basic meaning of the word, found in many passages of the
New Testament as well as in secular Greek, predates its other, more specific,
Christian uses.

Last Supper
The Last Supper is the
final meal that, according to Christian belief, Jesus shared with his Apostles
in Jerusalem before his crucifixion. The Last Supper is commemorated by
Christians especially on Maundy Thursday. Moreover, the Last Supper provides
the scriptural basis for the Eucharist, also known as "Holy
Communion" or "The Lord's Supper".
12.
Mary Magdalene
Mary Magdalene, or
Mary of Magdala and sometimes The Magdalene, is a religious figure in
Christianity. She has been called the second-most important woman in the New
Testament after Mary the mother of Jesus. Mary Magdalene traveled with Jesus as
one of his followers. She was present at Jesus' two most important moments: the
crucifixion and the resurrection. Within the four Gospels, the oldest
historical record mentioning her name, she is named at least 12 times, more
than most of the apostles. The Gospel references describe her as a courageous
servant leader, brave enough to stand by Jesus in his hours of suffering, death
and beyond.

Crucifixion
Crucifixion is a
method of deliberately slow and painful execution in which the condemned person
is tied or nailed to a large wooden cross and left to hang until dead. It is
principally known from antiquity, but remains in occasional use in some
countries.

Salome
Salome, the Daughter
of Herodias (c. AD 14 – between 62 and 71), is known from the New Testament
(Mark 6:17-29 and Matthew 14:3-11, where, however, her name is not given).
Another source from Antiquity, Flavius Josephus's Jewish Antiquities, gives her
name and some detail about her family relations.
La Belle Dame sans
Merci (French: "The Beautiful Lady Without Mercy" ) is a ballad
written by the English poet John Keats. It exists in two versions, with minor
differences between them. The original was written by Keats in 1819. He used
the title of a 15th century poem by Alain Chartier, though the plots of the two
poems are different.[2] The poem is considered an English classic,
stereotypical to other of Keats' works. It avoids simplicity of interpretation
despite simplicity of structure. At only a short twelve stanzas, of only four
lines each, with a simple ABCB rhyme scheme, the poem is nonetheless full of
enigmas, and has been the subject of numerous interpretations.

Camelot
Camelot is a castle
and court associated with the legendary King Arthur. Absent in the early
Arthurian material, Camelot first appeared in 12th-century French romances and
eventually came to be described as the fantastic capital of Arthur's realm and
a symbol of the Arthurian world. The stories locate it somewhere in Great
Britain and sometimes associate it with real cities, though more usually its
precise location is not revealed. Most scholars regard it as being entirely
fictional, its geography being perfect for romance writers; Arthurian scholar
Norris J. Lacy commented that "Camelot, located no where in particular,
can be anywhere". Nevertheless arguments about the location of the
"real Camelot" have occurred since the 15th century and continue to
rage today in popular works and for tourism purposes.

Lancelot
Sir Lancelot was one
of the Knights of the Round Table in the Arthurian legend. He was the most
trusted of King Arthur's knights and played a part in many of Arthur's
victories. Lancelot is best known for his love affair with Arthur's wife
Guinevere and the role he played in the search for the Holy Grail. He is also
known as the most loyal friend of Arthur's nephew, Sir Gawaine. His first
appearance as a main character is in Chrétien de Troyes' Le Chevalier de la
Charette, or "Lancelot, the Knight of the Cart," which was written in
the 12th century. In the 13th century, he was the main focus in the lengthy
Vulgate Cycle, where his exploits are recounted in the section known as the
Prose Lancelot. Lancelot's life and adventures have been featured in several
medieval romances, often with conflicting back-stories and chains of events.
Sir Gawain and the
Green Knight is a late 14th-century Middle English alliterative romance. It is
one of the better-known Arthurian stories, of an established type known as the
"beheading game". Written in bob and wheel stanzas, it emerges from
Welsh, Irish and English tradition and highlights the importance of honour and
chivalry. It is an important poem in the romance genre, which typically
involves a hero who goes on a quest that tests his prowess, and it remains
popular to this day in modern English renderings from J. R. R. Tolkien, Simon
Armitage and others as well as through film and stage adaptations.
