Les magnifiques dômes de la Basilica Cattedrale di San Marco, Piazza San Marco, Venezia, Italia.
Située sur la place Saint-Marc, à côté du Palais des Doges, dans le quartier de San Marco qui lui doivent leur nom, cette basilique est la plus importante basilique de Venise. Construite en 828, reconstruite après l'incendie qui ravagea le palais des Doges en 976, elle est, depuis 1807, la cathédrale du patriarche de Venise. Le bâtiment est fait de briques recouvertes de marbre. Par ailleurs, les dômes sont faits de bois, recouverte de plomb. Et la décoration est inspirée de partout dans l'empire commercial de Venise. On remarque que les colonnes sont toutes de matériaux et de couleurs différents, le tout surmonté d'une variété de chapiteaux.
Fondée peu après 528 par des réfugiés fuyant l'invasion lombarde, Venise fut la capitale pendant onze siècles, de 697-1797 de la république de Venise. Devenue aujourd’hui capitale de la Vénétie et située au milieu de la lagune vénète, entre les estuaires du Pô et du Piave, Venise est renommée pour cet emplacement exceptionnel ainsi que pour son architecture et son patrimoine culturel, qui lui ont valu en 1987 une inscription au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO (WHL-394).
On January 18, the Russian Orthodox Church celebrates Epiphany Eve, the evening before one of the 12 main Christian holidays, Epiphany. The celebration is dedicated to the baptism of Jesus Christ by John the Baptist in the Jordan River. And on January 19, believers celebrate the feast of Epiphany or Epiphany itself. The event marked the beginning of Christ's ministry to people and the beginning of the New Testament. On Epiphany night, it is customary to collect the consecrated water in the temple or the consecrated Jordan and bring it home. Some people plunge into the ice hole on this day to cleanse themselves of sins and strengthen their health for the whole year, however, the priests remind that bathing in an ice hole has little to do with the sacrament of Baptism....Dear friends! May it be cozy, bright and warm in your home on Epiphany Eve, and may peace and grace reign in your family. May real happiness come knocking in your life, accompanied by love and respect. I wish you to always have the most honest and kind people by your side. Happy holidays!
