Christ Church college, Oxford. This is leaving the Peckwater Quadrangle (also known as Peck) and entering the Great Quadrangle (also known as Tom Quad). The Great Quadrangle was actually began already by Thomas Wolsey (dead 1530) who had an idea of turning it into a proper cloister - but it was not finished until the 17th century.

The Christ figure from the Last Supper statue ensemble at the Goldwell Open Air Museum. The ghostly life-sized figures were created in 1984 by Charles Szukalski. He draped burlap soaked in plaster over live models posed as in the Last Supper painting by Leonardo da Vinci. When the plaster set, the models slipped out. Then the figures were coated in fiberglass. Remarkably, the sculptures still stand in the desert after 38 years.
Happy Slider Sunday!
Built of native sandstone by skilled English stone masons, this early Anglican Church was erected to meet the spiritual needs of a group of people who came over from England in the 1830’s to settle the prairies of western Peoria county here in Illinois. One of the oldest churches in the area, there are sister churches to this one in Brimfield and Robin’s Nest (Jubilee). With Bishop Philander Chase nearby and a seminary for training young ministers established at Robin’s Nest, it looked like there was a fair chance that the western Peoria county prairie would be modeled after Yorkshire England. In Southern Illinois at a place called Albion, there was already an earlier successful English prairie settlement started by a man named George Flowers. At this early date the prairies of Illinois were completely up for grabs because they were considered undesirable for settlement due to a shortage of available wood for building housing and for heating and cooking. The English with their extensive knowledge of building with stone and heating with coal which is very abundant in Illinois were undeterred by the prairie conditions which caused American settlers to shun the prairies in their search for inhabitable lands. To this day a glance at the telephone book will reveal a large number of English surnames among the local population. These people came to stay and are an important part of the state’s establishment though they seem to be largely forgotten in discussions of early Illinois settlement. They were educated, skilled, and religiously devout.

My old iPhone malfunctioned. So, I got a new phone. It appears sluggish or perhaps I do not know what I am doing, still learning. Here is a photo taken whilst being a tourist in the city a few days ago.

Sacre Coeur Basilica, Paris
The mosaic over the choir, entitled The Triumph of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, is the largest and most important work of art in the church. It was created by Luc-Olivier Merson, H. M. Magne and R. Martin, and was dedicated in 1923. The mosaic is composed of 25,000 enamelled and gilded pieces of ceramic, and covers 475 square meters, making it one of the largest mosaics in the world.
The central figure is Jesus Christ, dressed in white, with open arms offering his heart, decorated with gold. He is joined by his mother, the Virgin Mary, and by the Archangel Michael, the protector of the church and of France. At his feet, kneeling, is Saint Joan of Arc offering him a crown. A figure of Pope Leo XIII offers a globe to Christ, symbolising the world.

I had just come out of the Cathedral on to the quadrangle which is beautiful.
The Great Quadrangle, more popularly known as Tom Quad, is one of the quadrangles of Christ Church, Oxford, England. It is the largest college quad in Oxford, measuring 264 by 261 feet. Although it was begun by Cardinal Wolsey in 1525–1529, he was unable to complete it before his fall from power.
Wolsey planned a cloister, but only the starts of the arches on the walls, and of the supports jutting into the lawn were done; these can still be seen around the quadrangle. The main entrance was also left incomplete, and it is not known how the gatehouse was planned to look. After some 150 years, the gatehouse was completed in 1681–1682 with Tom Tower, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, when John Fell was Dean. A statue of Queen Anne on Tom Tower overlooks the main entrance to the Quad.[1] The quad is listed Grade I on the National Heritage List for England.[2]

The Church of England community first began meeting in Longford in 1826 at the Woolmers and Brickendon Chapels. In much the same way as the Hadspen community worshipped in the chapel at Entally House. www.flickr.com/photos/luminosity7/53501457598/in/dateposted/
The foundation stone for this building was laid by Lt Governor, Sir John Franklin, in March 1839. Franklin, as some may be aware, went on to fame and tragedy as the commander of the search for the Northwest Passage in which his ship disappeared in the Arctic ice for over 100 years.
This is a beautiful English style church building surrounded by park land. It also has a very historic graveyard out the back (as I showed you in The Road to Longford slideshow)..
Christ Church is a Grade II* listed church in Cricklade Street in Swindon's Old Town district. It was built in 1851 to a design by George Gilbert Scott. It has a peal of ten bells memorialised in poetry by Sir John Betjeman:
Now birth and death reminding bells ring clear,
Loud under 'planes and over changing gear.

The Convent of Christ (Portuguese: Convento de Cristo/Mosteiro de Cristo) is a former Roman Catholic convent in Tomar, Portugal. Originally a 12th-century Templar stronghold, when the order was dissolved in the 14th century the Portuguese branch was turned into the Knights of the Order of Christ, that later supported Portugal's maritime discoveries of the 15th century. The convent and castle complex is a historic and cultural monument and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983.

Christ the Redeemer is an Art Deco statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, created by French sculptor Paul Landowski and built by Brazilian engineer Heitor da Silva Costa, in collaboration with French engineer Albert Caquot. Romanian sculptor Gheorghe Leonida fashioned the face.
The Sanctuary of Christ the King[1][2][3] (Portuguese: Santuário de Cristo Rei) is a Catholic monument and shrine dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ overlooking the city of Lisbon situated in Almada, in Portugal. It was inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil, after the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon visited that monument. The project was inaugurated on 17 May 1959, while Portugal was ruled by the authoritarian President of the Council of Ministers António de Oliveira Salazar who gave his final permission for the project.
The weight of so many responsibilities and distractions - even the worthwhile ones - has a crushing effect on a person's relationship with Christ. It ruins our taste for spiritual things. It suppresses our exuberance for spiritual service. It suffocates our passion for pursuing Christ and the intimate relationship He offers. It all grinds away at our soul. Eventually, following Jesus starts to lose its luster. The blessings and joys of walking with Him are crowded out by myriad tiny details of life. - John MacArthur
