Octave de Pâque.

Pour une fois, je vous transcris le texte exact, magnifique, sur la résurrection du Christ, écrit par Hippolyte de Rome en son temps.
Il m'a saisie au coeur, et j'ai envie de la faire vivre dans tout ce que je fais ici-bas. Il correspond à mon ressenti de cette chose inouïe : la résurrection de Jésus, le Christ, qui a changé tout, en considération de la mort du corps....
L'AURORE DES AURORES.
Voci l'heure où paraît la lumière bénie du Christ ; les purs rayons de l'Esprit se lèvent et le ciel ouvre ses trésors à la gloire divine.
La nuit vaste et obscure est engloutie.
La vie déferle sur toute chose : tout est rempli d'une lumière sans fin.
L'Aurore des aurores monte sur la terre, et "celui qui était avant l'étoile du matin",
avant les astres, immortel et immense, le Grand Christ, brille sur tous les êtres plus que le soleil.
Pour nous qui croyons en lui s'instaure un jour de lumière, vaste, éternel, que rien n'éteindra : c'est la pâque mystique, célébrée en préfiguration par la Loi, accomplie en vérité par le Christ, pâque magnifique, merveille de la force de Dieu, oeuvre de sa puissance, la fête véritable, le mémorial éternel : la libération de toute souffrance naît de la Passion, l'immortalité naît de la mort, la vie naît du tombeau, la guérison naît de la blessure, le relèvement naît de la chute, l'ascension naît de la descente aux enfers.....
Saint Hippolyte de Rome.
Christ Church is an Episcopal church located at 118 North Washington Street, with an entrance at 141 North Columbus Street, in Alexandria, Virginia. Constructed as the main church in the Church of England's Fairfax Parish, the building was designed by Col. James Wren, a descendant of Sir Christopher Wren.
"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." ~ Jesus Christ
Detail of the stained glass window by Morris & Co filling a blocked doorway in the north-west corner cloisters at Gloucester. The window dates from 1924, long after the deaths of Morris & Burne Jones, though the latter's designs were adapted for the figures of SS Agnes & Dorothy below. The window is otherwise entirely the work of Burne-Jones's successor (and imitator) John Henry Dearle.
Gloucester Cathedral is one of England's finest churches, a masterpiece of medieval architecture consisting of a uniquely beautiful fusion of Norman Romanesque and Perpendicular Gothic from the mid 14th century onwards. Until the Reformation this was merely Gloucester's Abbey of St Peter, under Henry VIII it became one of six former monastic churches to be promoted to cathedral status, thus saving the great church from the ravages of the Dissolution.
The most obviously Norman part is the nave, immediately apparent on entering the building with it's round arches and thick columns (the exterior is the result of Gothic remodelling). Much of the remainder of the building is substantially the Norman structure also, but almost entirely modified in the later Middle Ages inside and out, the result of the great revenue brought to the abbey by pilgrims to the tomb of the murdered King Edward II in the choir. It was this transformation of the Norman church that is credited with launching the late gothic Perpendicular style in England.
The gothic choir is a unique and spectacular work, the walls so heavily panelled as to suggest a huge stone cage (disguising the Norman arches behind) crowned by a glorious net-like vault adorned with numerous bosses (those over the Altar with superb figures of Christ and angels) whilst the east wall is entirely glazing in delicate stone tracery, and still preserving most of it's original 14th century stained glass. The soaring central tower, also richly panelled with delicate pinnacles, is another testament to the abbey's increasing wealth at this time.
The latest medieval additions to the church are equally glorious, the Lady Chapel is entered through the enormous east window and is itself a largely glazed structure, though the original glass has been reduced to a few fragments in the east window, the remainder now contains beautiful Arts & Crafts stained glass by Christopher and Veronica Whall.
The early 16th century cloisters to the north of the nave are some of the most beautiful anywhere, being completely covered by exquisite fan vaulting, with a separate lavatorium (washing room) attached to the north walk as a miniature version of the main passages.
There is much more of interest, from 14th century choir stalls with misericords to the comprehensive collection of tombs and monuments of various dates, including the elaborate tomb of Edward II and that of Robert Duke of Normandy, eldest son of William the Conqueror. The stained glass also represents all ages, from the 14th century to the striking contemporary windows by Tom Denny.
Further areas of the cathedral can be accessed at certain times, such as the Norman crypt under the choir and the triforium gallery above.

p33
Storie dalla bibbia - Dio ha creato Adamo
Quando Dio Si alzò dal Suo letto, il primo pensiero che ebbe fu questo: creare una persona viva, un uomo reale, qualcuno con cui vivere e che fosse il Suo compagno costante. Costui avrebbe potuto ascoltarLo, e Dio avrebbe potuto confidarSi con lui e parlargli. Poi, per la prima volta, Dio prese una manciata di polvere e la usò per creare la prima persona viva che aveva immaginato, quindi diede un nome a questa creatura: Adamo. Come Si sentì dopo aver guadagnato questa persona capace di vivere e di respirare? Per la prima volta provò la gioia di avere una persona cara, un compagno, e sentì anche la responsabilità di essere padre e la relativa preoccupazione. Questa persona capace di vivere e di respirare Gli portò felicità e gioia; Dio si sentì confortato per la prima volta.

Philippians 3:8
What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ
Although Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ, I often reflect on His life and mission. It reminds me of a song I love sung by Andrea Bocelli called "The Lord's Prayer." I'll provide of link to the song under comments.
Je n'ai jamais vu de Christ plus présent qu'à l’église de Kaysersberg. C'est ce que j'ai voulu retranscrire au travers de cette image.
Completed alongside the kitchens in the 1520s, the Hall has been in almost constant use since the sixteenth century. Over the years, it has hosted some spectacular banquets, perhaps none more so than the Duke of Portland’s 1793 banquet, in which guests were treated to turbot in lobster sauce, followed by roast beef, lamb, duck, goose and chicken, a veal pie - and a fruit fool to finish. While the extravagances of Portland’s time are gone, the Hall remains very much in use. Members of the college can eat three daily meals here including a formal dinner in the evenings where gowns must be worn.
"This Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.
But God raised him up, having loosed the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.
For David says concerning him, `I saw the Lord always before me,
for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken;
therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;
moreover my flesh will dwell in hope.
For thou wilt not abandon my soul to Hades,
nor let thy Holy One see corruption.
Thou hast made known to me the ways of life;
thou wilt make me full of gladness with thy presence.'"
– Acts 2:23-28, which is part of the First Reading for Easter Monday.

In the March 1925 issue of "Masonic World", an article on the cathedral states:
“It is particularly fitting that the Masons, who were the principal builders of cathedrals and churches during the greatest cathedral-building period, should now have a prominent part in the movement to build America’s greatest cathedral (…) Little need be added to the story of Freemasonry during the cathedral-building period; its monuments are its best history, alike of its genius, its faith and its symbols.”
