We know that the Christians used the Roman basilica as a template for their own basilicas. I like how Ariana describes in her blog that the Roman basilicas were used for more governmental and civic purposes. These days when we hear the word "basilica," we immediately think of religion and worship.

The second blog I looked into was Katrina's. She talked about how the Christians used much detail in their designs and craftsmanship. She explained how those things have all stuck with time and we still use them today.
