The 'Christ of Havana' (Cristo de La Habana) is a 60 ft. tall sculpture that represents Jesus on a hilltop overlooking Havana Harbor. The statue was carved out of white Carrara marble by well-known Cuban sculptor Jilma Madera (1915-2000). It's located in the Havana suburb of Casablanca and was inaugurated on La Cabana hill in December, 1958, just weeks prior to the fall of the Batista government during the Cuban Revolution.
This statue is reminiscent of "Christ the Redeemer", a 98 ft. tall Art Deco statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

According to Charles Eastlake in his History of the Gothic Revival (1872), this was "one of the grandest and most effective modern churches which have marked the Revival" (241). Later in the same book, in his selected examples of Gothic buildings of the period, Eastlake gave its dimensions as follows:
One of the largest and most imposing modern churches in England. It contains an area of 20,000 square ft. Its internal length is 212 ft.; width from north to south of transepts, 77 ft.; width of nave and aisles, 56 ft..... with groined chancel and presbytery, &c. When completed, the church will be extended 40 ft. westward, and the central tower and spire will be carried up 300 ft. high. [389]
Although the church was never completed and the spire was never added, it is still an enormous church, recognised as being "on a cathedral scale and in cathedral style" (Cherry and Pevsner 254).

.Christ the Chalkites. Detail of the Deesis mosaic.In Byzantine art, and later Eastern Orthodox art generally, the Deësis or Deisis (Greek: δέησις, "prayer" or "supplication"), is a traditional iconic representation of Christ in Majesty or Christ Pantocrator: enthroned, carrying a book, and flanked by the Virgin Mary and St. John the Baptist, and sometimes other saints and angels. Mary and John, and any other figures, are shown facing towards Christ with their hands raised in supplication on behalf of humanity.
The Chalke Gate (Greek: Χαλκῆ Πύλη), was the main ceremonial entrance (vestibule) to the Great Palace of Constantinople in the Byzantine period. The name, which means "the Bronze Gate", was given to it either because of the bronze portals or from the gilded bronze tiles used in its roof.] The interior was lavishly decorated with marble and mosaics, and the exterior façade featured a number of statues. Most prominent was an icon of Christ which became a major iconodule symbol during the Byzantine Iconoclasm, and a chapel dedicated to the Christ Chalkites was erected in the 10th century next to the gate.
Above the main entrance of the Chalke, there stood an icon of Christ, the so-called Christ Chalkites ("Christ of the Chalke"). The origins of the icon are obscure: based on its mention in the Parastaseis, it may have existed by ca. 600, but it cannot be stated with any certainty. Its prominent display on the very entrance to the imperial palace made it one of the city's major religious symbols.[26] Consequently, its removal, in 726 or 730, by Emperor Leo III the Isaurian (r. 717–741), was both a major political statement and a spark for violent rioting in the city, and marked the beginning of the official prohibition of icons in the Empire. The icon was restored a first time by Empress Eirene in ca. 787, until it was again removed by Leo V the Armenian (r. 813–820) and replaced by a simple cross. After the definitive restoration of the veneration of icons in 843, a mosaic icon by the famed iconodule monk and artist Lazaros replaced it.
The exact appearance of the icon is unclear: although the early image has been interpreted as a bust of the Christ Pantocrator type, late Byzantine references, such as coins by John III Vatatzes (r. 1221–1254) and the Deesis mosaic in the Chora Church, use the term for depictions of a standing Christ on a pedestal.

The soldiers in this alabaster depiction of the Betrayal of Christ by Judas are all depicted in bascinets with aventails; some can be seen wearing hour-glass gauntlets, hip-belts and jupons. We might see an early sallet on the soldier second to the upper right wearing another garment instead of a jupon.
The soldier on the extreme right below also wears this style of sallet and besagews on the armpits.
It's very difficult to date this panel, since the Nottingham workshops producing these panels often made use of the same scenes and styles for years, being hugely popular throughout Europe.
Nevertheless, the armour and fashion can be dated around 1430 (in some details even earlier), based on stylistical grounds. But mind you, a much later date might also be possible.

The original church was 142 feet long and 82 feet wide. The marble work was undertaken by Irish Marble Industries of Merlin Park, James Stewart & Sons from Lower Salthill manufactured the seats and the confessionals. The electric lighting was carried out under the supervision of Mr Ryan of UCG. The three altars were by Michael Scott, and there is a beautiful crucifix by Clare Sheridan and a fine sculpture of the Blessed Virgin by Oisín Kelly.
WH Byrne was the architect and Owen Larkin from Ballinasloe was the builder. The style was described as Lombardic Romanesque with a square tower which was 95 feet high and covered with scalloped tiles. The front was ornamented with a circular headed doorway carried out in carved limestone and containing a mosaic of Christ the King in the tympanum above the door. Above that again is a rose window. The church is cruciform in shape and consists of a nave, transepts, and sanctuary surmounted in the centre with an octagonal dome, lighted with eight circular headed windows and carried on pendentives. The nave and transepts were covered with barrel vaults, the piers supporting these being ornamented with rope mouldings and foliated capitals.
Monsignor Micheal Spelman as Parish Priest in 1965 decided that it was necessary to enlarge the church. The two wings at the front of the building were added and the altar was brought to its current location. Simon Kelly of Bearna was the architect and James Brennan was the building contractor.
In 1992 the church was again renovated redecorated and reorganised.
For various reasons I was unable to photograph Blessed Sacrament Chapel which was added in 1996
In 2009 the church gardens were removed up to make a car park. Note: During my travels I have noticed that many churches are now using their car parking facilities to raise revenue.

Christ Church Cathedral is Vancouver's main Anglican cathedral, located in the heart of the downtown core. This impressive stone building, with its Gothic style reminiscent of European churches, stands out for its elegant architecture and colorful stained-glass windows, surrounded by modern glass skyscrapers. Opened in 1895, it has been a center of worship and a historical landmark for over a century. Besides being an active place of worship, the cathedral is an open space for the community, often hosting concerts, classical music recitals, and other cultural events, offering an oasis of tranquility and spirituality amid the urban hustle and bustle.

Christianity in Ireland is so deeply-rooted that Dublin very unusually boasts two Medieval cathedrals. Christ Church Cathedral seen here is the older of the two. In 1030 AD, the Hiberno-Norse King Sitric (or Sitriuc) and the Bishop of Dublin ordered the establishment of a Viking wooden church here. That original wood building didn't survive long, and in 1186, the newly-arrived Normans began construction of the Romanesque stone cathedral that we see today.
Originally Christ Church Cathedral was the cathedra (seat) of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Dublin. In 1541, the English Reformation (blame Henry VIII) led to the (Anglican) Church of Ireland confiscating the cathedral. Till today, the Roman Catholics still claim Christ Church Cathedral as the official seat of the Bishop of Dublin, though in reality it's controlled by the Church of Ireland only.
Christ Church Cathedral (or, more formally, The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity) is the cathedral of the United Dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough and the cathedral of the Ecclesiastical province of the United Provinces of Dublin and Cashel in the Church of Ireland. It is situated in Dublin, Ireland, and is the elder of the capital city's two medieval cathedrals, the other being St Patrick's Cathedral. (Wikipedia)
