Wake up, my glory! Wake up, harp and lyre; I will stir the sleepy dawn with praise! - Psalm 57:8
I wake before the dawn and call for help; I hope in Your words. - Psalm 119:147
How enduring is God’s loyal love; the Eternal has inexhaustible compassion. Here they are, every morning, new! Your faithfulness, God, is as broad as the day. - Lamentations 3: 22-23

Kensworth, Bedfordshire, 12th century originally. Today's village is a mile or so away from the church. It has become again an outpost of Christianity, as it was perhaps in the 12th century.

'En touto nika', 'by this conquer'. The vision of Constantine the Great of the Holy Cross with its instruction "By This Conquer", in 312 AD prior to a decisive battle close to Rome, gave Christianity, and in particular the cross as a powerful religious symbol, historical force. Even more so, when his mother, Helena, a few years later 'discovered' the cross Jesus was nailed against in Jerusalem. In this scene, however - the chapel of St John the Baptist in Markyate, Hertfordshire, the symbol of the cross follows a slightly different rationale: the building itself is located down in the valley of the River Ver and the drivers on the adjacent major (and fast) road will hardly notice it is even there. This is all about "visibility". The wooden cross does not signal victory, it just says "we are still here".
Fifth to sixth century mosaics around the cupola of the Rotunda, Thessaloniki. The Rotunda was built in 306 AD as a Roman mausoleum or a temple. It is the oldest (still standing) building in Thessaloniki. After "paganism" was outlawed at the end of the fourth century, the building was consecrated as a church and the mosaics fitted within the next one hundred years. The surviving fragments are impressive enough and one of only three comparable examples of early Byzantine mosaic art (the two others being Constantinople, the Agia Sofia in particular, and Ravenna). What fascinates me are the images of Hellenistic and Roman buildings on the wall. One of them has been identified as the Library of Ephesus. Martyr's or donors do stand in front of these buildings, but the image overall is urbane. Christianity is clearly seen as the religion of city dwellers. Interestingly, the original meaning of the Latin term "paganus" is a person from the countryside. The English language got quite close to this when applying the word "heathen" to non-Christians.

One of the holiest sites of Christianity and Catholic Tradition, it is traditionally the burial site of it's titular, St. Peter who was the head of the twelve Apostles of Jesus and, according to tradition, the first Bishop of Antioch and later the first Bishop of Rome, rendering him the first Pope.

My philosophy on flower photos: its not about a single flower, or a tree full of flowers. Its about capturing light, form, and balance.
Ihr seid das Salz der Erde…
Ihr seid das Licht der Welt…

Ye are the salt of the earth…
Ye are the light of the world…

I found this paper rose on a barbed wire fence outside the walls of the ruinous 12th century Saint Ninian’s chapel, where pilgrims from Ireland would arrive to receive the Eucharist & give thanks to God for their safe passage from a treacherous journey across the Irish Sea.

Tumacacori Mission near Tubac, just north of Nogalas. The Spanish mission was first built in 1757. The imposing nature of the Mission can't be avoided and i can only but wonder at the impression of the native Americans living here as this was built.

ENGLISH
Holy Week is the most sacred week in the liturgical year in Christianity. it begins with Palm Sunday and concludes on Easter Sunday. For all Christian traditions it is a moveable observance. In the Western Christian Churches, Holy Week falls on the last week of Lent or Sixth Lent Week.
Holy Week begins with the commemoration of Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, climaxing with the commemoration of the Mystical or Last Supper on Maundy Thursday and the Passion of Jesus on Good Friday. Holy Week concludes with Christ's rest in death and descent into Hades on Holy Saturday.
It is believed Jesus rested in death from the ninth hour (3 pm) on Good Friday until just before dawn on Sunday morning, the day of his resurrection from death, commonly known as Easter Sunday. This marks the beginning of the season of Eastertide, with its first week being known as Easter Week (Bright Week).
CASTELLANO
La Semana Santa1 2 es la conmemoración cristiana anual de la Pasión de Cristo, es decir, de la entrada a Jerusalén, la última cena, el viacrucis, la muerte y resurrección de Jesús de Nazaret. Es la sexta y última semana de Cuaresma desde el Domingo de Ramos hasta el atardecer del Jueves Santo, entre el atardecer del Jueves Santo hasta el Domingo de Pascua, denominado Triduo Pascual. Por eso, es un período de intensa actividad litúrgica dentro de las diversas confesiones cristianas. Da comienzo con el Domingo de Ramos y finaliza el Domingo de Resurrección,3 aunque su celebración suele iniciarse en varios lugares el viernes anterior (viernes de Dolores).

La Setmana Santa és el moment més important de l'any litúrgic cristià. Es tracta d'un conjunt de celebracions que tenen lloc entre el divendres abans del diumenge de Rams i el diumenge de Pasqua o, ja en el terreny de les festes populars, el dilluns de Pasqua. A través d'un vast i ric conjunt de pràctiques festives -processons, escenificacions teatrals i altres activitats litúrgiques i rituals- la comunitat cristiana recorda i recrea els darrers moments de Jesucrist a la Terra, el que hom coneix com a la Passió, Mort i Resurrecció. És a dir, des que Jesús arriba a Jerusalem procedent del desert i ja proclamat Salvador, fins que és processat, mort clavat a la creu, enterrat i fins que ressuscita.
WIKIPEDIA
In Christianity, the figures widely recognised as prophets are those mentioned as such in the Old Testament and the New Testament. It is believed that prophets are chosen and called by the one God.
Prophets are people who:
- were clearly identified as prophets, either through an explicit statement or through strong contextual implication (for example, the purported authors of the books listed as major prophets and minor prophets) along with a biblical reference to the mention of them.
- as recorded, had visionary or prophetic experiences, but did not have any major or consistent prophetic calling in history.
- unnamed prophets.
- who are described in the Bible as prophets, but who are presented as either abusing this gift or as frauds.
Пророки, це люди, які:
- були чітко визначені як пророки або за допомогою явної заяви, або за допомогою сильного контекстуального підтексту (наприклад, передбачувані автори книг, перераховані як головні пророки та другорядні пророки) разом із біблійним посиланням на згадку про них.
- як записано, мали візіонерський чи пророчий досвід, але не мали в історії будь-якого великого чи послідовного пророчого покликання.
- неназвані пророки.
- хто описаний у Біблії як пророки, але представлені або як ті, що зловживають цим даром, або як шахраї.
Samuel (the left on the arch) is a figure who, in the narratives of the Hebrew Bible, plays a key role in the transition from the biblical judges to the United Kingdom of Israel under Saul, and again in the monarchy's transition from Saul to David. He is venerated as a prophet in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
Hosea (to the left of the left window) is an Old Testament prophet, the first of the 12 minor prophets; author of the Book of Hosea. The Book of the Prophet Hosea is a book that is part of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) and the Old Testament. In the Tanakh it is placed in the section Neviim (Prophets). Written by the prophet Hosea.
Date of writing: around 750 BC. e. It is the first book of the “twelve small prophets”, which are usually called “small”, since the volume of these books is less than the volume of the books of the great prophets, which, however, does not detract from the importance of these prophetic books.
Joel (to the right of the left window) is the first Old Testament prophet, who, according to legend, left behind a record of his sermons (The Book of the Prophet Joel). According to the volume of the book of Joel, he is classified as a so-called “minor” prophet. The Book of the Prophet Joel is a book that is part of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) and the Old Testament. In the Hebrew Bible it is placed in the section Neviim (Prophets). The second book of the Twelve Minor Prophets. Written by the prophet Joel.
Isaiah (to the left of the right window) - one of the biblical prophets, coming from a noble Jewish priestly family, was born in Jerusalem around 765 BC. e. He prophesied in Hebrew. Isaiah is notable primarily for its prophecies about the Messiah.
Amos (to the left of the Prophet Isaiah) is an Old Testament prophet, one of the twelve so-called “minor prophets.” Amos is the first prophet-writer known to us. The style of his book testifies to the integrity of his character and, despite his simple origins, his erudition and broad erudition. In his sermon, Amos defended strict monotheism and against the spread of idolatry.
The Church of Saint Jaume is located within the walls of the old town of Alcudia and is notable for its central dome and four side chapels along with the magnificent alter piece fashioned in resplendent baroque art.

Hinduism differs from Christianity and other Western religions in that it does not have a single founder, a specific theological system, a single system of morality, or a central religious organization. It consists of "thousands of different religious groups that have evolved in India since 1500 BCE."
Hinduism has grown to become the world's third largest religion, after Christianity and Islam. It claims about 837 million followers - 13% of the world's population. It is the dominant religion in India, Nepal, and among the Tamils in Sri Lanka. According to the "Yearbook of American & Canadian Churches," there are about 1.1 million Hindus in the U.S. The "American Religious Identification Survey" is believed to be more accurate. They estimated smaller number: 766,000 Hindus in 2001. Still, this is a very significant increase from 227,000 in 1990. Statistics Canada estimates that there are about 157,015 Hindus in Canada.
Hinduism is generally regarded as the world's oldest organized religion.
Most forms of Hinduism are henotheistic religions. They recognize a single deity, and view other Gods and Goddesses as manifestations or aspects of that supreme God. Henotheistic and polytheistic religions have traditionally been among the world's most religiously tolerant faiths. However, until recently, a Hindu nationalistic political party controlled the government of India. The linkage of religion, the national government, and nationalism led to a degeneration of the separation of church and state in India. This, in turn, has decreased the level of religious tolerance in that country. The escalation of anti-Christian violence was one manifestation of this linkage. With the recent change in government, the level of violence will diminish.
