In its earliest meaning, the heart represents the place of a person's fundamental will and choices, hence their most intimate "shrine,"  as well as being the place that harbors feelings and affections. The Christian concept of salvation is not the result of human knowledge but comes above all from listening to the heart. The sacred heart is the heart of Jesus, an object of worship for centuries. It is represented as a crown with thorns, a symbol of adversity, engulfed in flames, symbolizing the burning soul. In addition to its profound religious significance, the sacred heart has also lately become a widely-used symbol of contemporary culture.
