             In this paper I'm going to compare the physical structure of the House Of Holiness versus the allegorical significance of the House Of Holiness, the people that live in the House Of Holiness, and important objects in it. The House Of Holiness in my opinion is a castle that is really a church because in it you can purify your soul from sins you committed and become a true Christian.
             First I'm going to talk about the women that live there. The first person RCK and Una meet is Caelia. Caelia is the mother of the three other women that live there and is the Lady of The House Of Holiness.

             One of the daughters of Caelia is Fidelia and she represents faith. The second daughter of Caelia is Speranza representing Hope. The last of the daughters is Charissa representing charity. All three of these women have very important significance in The House of Holiness because if you want to be a pure Christian you need faith, hope, and charity.
             An important object that Fidelia uses in this story is a gold cup with a
             serpent designed on it. This cup was filled with water and wine which symbolizes communion and the serpent being a symbolization of the crucified Christ. This object shows that Fidelia definetly is the reprensentation of faith.
             Another important object that depicts the symboization of the women is a silver anchor around Speranza's arm. A silver anchor is an iconographic symbol of hope. This is another example of what symbolization these women represent.
             Finally the symbol that proves Charissa's symbolization is not an object like the other women had, but her pregnancy. Her pregnancy is a symbol of charity because in a way you give charity when you take care of someone other than yourself. Charity back then was often depicted pictorially as a moth
