Answer 1

Mosiacs were used to present stories from the bible and in general to create a form of art to represent religion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Many early Christians could not read or write, and therefore were unable to read the Bible. This is why art based upon religion began forming, telling the stories so commoners could understand the Bible better. Mosiacs was also used simply for decorations in churches and cathedrals.

The Parting of Lot and Abraham in particular symbolizes the biblical events of Genesis, where Abraham and his nephew Lot seperate paths after an argument. Abraham stays in Canaan, where Lot goes to the city of Sodom, known to be the city of sin.
