Alva Church (Swedish: Alva kyrka) is a medieval Lutheran church on the Swedish island of Gotland, in the Diocese of Visby (Sweden).
The oldest parts of the church are the late Romanesque choir and the apse, dating from the late 12th century. To this the nave was added during the late part of the same century. Construction of the broad tower started about a hundred years later but was never finished; hence the somewhat squat appearance of the church today. It seems in fact that construction of the church came to a rapid end: apart from the half-finished tower, the main southern portal also seems to have been finished in a haphazard, chaotic way.
The choir portal is Romanesque in style and carried some sculpted reliefs, possibly executed by the locally active Master Sigraf. The likewise Romanesque northern portal of the church is also decorated with sculptures.
Inside, the church displays a set of frescos carried out at the end of the Middle Ages, probably just before the reformation and possibly by the same artist who decorated Lau Church. Among the furnishings, the dominating triumphal cross, dating from the middle of the 13th century, and a partly preserved baptismal font, executed by the Romanesque master carver Hegvald sometime during the end of the 12th century, are especially notable. The pulpit dates from 1740 and the unusually decorated altarpiece from 1653.
The church was renovated in 1953–54.
________________________________________
Alva kyrka tillhör Alva, Hemse och Rone församling på Gotland. Kyrkan är byggd i sandsten och den äldsta bevarade delen är koret med absid, vilket uppfördes omkring år 1200. I början av 1300-talet planerades att bygga ett stort torn i väst, men detta fullbordades aldrig. Den gamla romanska sydportalen flyttades vid samma tid till norra sidan.
På långhusets norra vägg finns målningar som utförts av "Mästaren från 1520". Altaruppsatsen av sandsten från 1671 visar inte bara den bibliska nattvardsbilden utan också en samtida evangelisk nattvardsscen. I triumfbågen hänger ett väldigt krucifix från 1200-talet.
A tegnapi nap egy nagyon elképesztő nap volt a számomra.
A Történet:
Április 28-án szólt egy kedves autóbusz-vezető ismerősöm, hogy a legjobb barátjának (aki szintén autóbusz-vezető) lesz egy meglepetés a 27. születésnapja alkalmával. A meglepetés a következő: Az AFF-700 forgalmi rendszámú autóbusszal elutaznak egy napra Balatonfüredre, mivel ez a kedvenc busza, és ha van rá lehetőség, akkor fotózzuk le, ahogy kihozza a buszt. Ezt meg is tettük. Reggel 8:00-kor a Buda utcai Volánbusz telepre érkeztem, hogy dokumentálni tudjam, hogy kiguruljon a telepről a busz. 8:47-kor ki is állt, és úticélnak a Révai Miklós utcát tűzték ki, pár kép erejéig, majd onnan tovább indultak a Hunyadi utcai Autóbusz-állomásra beállni a 27. kocsiállásra, a kép kedvéért. Ezután az autóbusz útnak indult Tápszentmiklósra, hogy felvegye az ünnepeltet, és onnantól kezdve nem volt megállás Balatonfüredig. A meglepetés elég nagyra sikeredett, hiszen ünnepeltünk, csak annyit tudott, hogy a Balaton partra mennek egy napra, de, hogy mivel, azt nem tudta. Ez az autóbusz a szülinapos kedvenc járműve, ami elég közel áll a szívéhez. Este 19:30 körül vissza is érkezett az autóbusz a Budai utcai telepre.
Köszönöm szépen a szervezést Dávidnak, és mindenkinek aki részt vett, és köszönöm, hogy részese lehettem az eseménynek, mégha nem is voltam ott egész nap, csak a kivonluáskor és a bevonuláskor voltam jelen!
És most az ünnepelthez szólnék pár szót:
Kedves Ádám! Ha olvasod ezt a kis leírást, akkor innen is Boldog születésnapot, és még több ilyen vidám, percet! kívánok neked! ;)

We hit the strip! The casinos that I recall going to are as follows: The Mirage (saw a Bengal tiger behind the glass, marking his territory by rubbing his chin glands on everything), Flamingo (to see the feeding time of the penguins outside), Barbary Coast where the fattest Elvis ever was performing (so fat he couldn't heft his Elvisey bulk from a chair in front of the stage), The Aladdin, The Bellagio, The MGM Grand (complete with lions in a glass cage for your amusement!), and The Tropicana. What happened in Vegas stays in Vegas. But I can talk of how John Kerry just happened to be there when we were trying to bus down to the strip, so the buses were delayed an hour. By this point, we were hot and our feet hurt so we bussed it home.
But we came out later to go back to The MGM Grand to hit Studio 54, which was one of the better clubbing experiences I have had. (That honor goes to the now-defunct 1470s's Heaven Vs. Hell a few years ago.) Now, I thought that, this being Las Vegas, they'd be used to people dressing up kinda different or goth. Not. At All. I'll say it again, since it bears repeating. Not. At. All. I wore a typical goth outfit of mine ("cyborg" shirt, vinyl skirt, fishnets, knee-high Docs) but I might as well have walked around stark naked for all the reactions I was getting. Whistles, comments and stares from dirty (and not so dirty), old (and not so old), men (and women...but only the stares so far as I noticed). And in the club, people either assumed that A)I worked there, B)I was a DJ, or C)I was on drugs. Everyone where was dressed as for The Cheese back in Athens, and there were dancers on raised platforms and who descended from the ceiling on harnesses and trapezes who were the only ones dressed like I was, although showing more skin. The last two times I got an unusual amount of attention when I went out were Goth Night spring quarter freshman year at OU, and Heaven Vs. Hell......and (besides being one of eight finalists for Sexiest Devil contest at 1470s), this surpassed them all. It was flattering enough, but it kinda really threw me, too. Thank god this happened the last night, because I don't think I could have handled any more.
We got back to the hostel at 4 AM, and the crowning touch was a Swedish boy who was just checking in, who knew barely enough English to get by. He was eating a candy apple that he had stolen, and the broken-English version of the story is just too funny. You had to be there to fully appreciate it, though.

“My maternal grandmother, Hester Craig Flowers, often reminded me that “blood is thicker than water.” She told me how her Scots-Irish father, William Clark Craig, took his family from Vicksburg to their ancestral home in County Antrim in 1903. There they visited with relatives and and attended the local Presbyterian church with their uncle Tom Craig. When the offering was taken, Uncle Tom told her father, "William, you will embarrass the family if you put less than a shilling in the plate." —William R. Ferris, “The William R.

SONNET LIV
O! how much more doth beauty beauteous seem
By that sweet ornament which truth doth give.
The rose looks fair, but fairer we it deem
For that sweet odour, which doth in it live.
The canker blooms have full as deep a dye
As the perfumed tincture of the roses,
Hang on such thorns, and play as wantonly
When summer's breath their masked buds discloses:
But, for their virtue only is their show,
They live unwoo'd, and unrespected fade;
Die to themselves. Sweet roses do not so;
Of their sweet deaths are sweetest odours made:
And so of you, beauteous and lovely youth,
When that shall vade, my verse distills your truth.
