Cazorla was a strategic border bastion between the Muslim empire and Christianity during the Reconquest in the Middle Age. It is overlooked by the Castle of Yedra (Castllo de la Yedra), originally a Muslim fortification and then conquered and expanded by the Christian feudal lords. Today, Cazorla is a scenic city that gives access to the impressive natural park of Sierra de Cazorla.

I was treated to this magnificent view as I climbed the ancient, uneven steps of Skellig Michael while on pilgrimage. I wish I took more shots than I ended up taking but the path is extremely dangerous and one wrong move would most likely result in death which is not what I was aiming for. The boat ride from Portmagee, County Kerry, Ireland, lasted around 1 hour. It’s a hard place to visit as landing on Skellig Michael is completely weather dependant. This particular part of the Atlantic is known for its choppy nature. I literally felt like I was the luckiest guy on Earth when I stepped onto the island. I came here to visit the most Westerly Christian site in Europe. The monastery at the top of Great Skellig was founded by 4th century monks, possibly earlier. The exact date of its foundation doesn’t seem to be known but that doesn’t matter when you’re standing within it’s beautiful walls.

According to some sources, the church in the Vorontsovo estate was built from a park pavilion in 1807. During the War of 1812, the estate was badly damaged. French troops burned down the main house, looted and desecrated the Trinity Church. But already in 1816 the church was restored, services resumed in it.
По некоторым источникам церковь в усадьбе Воронцово была устроена из паркового павильона в 1807 году. Во время войны 1812 года усадьба сильно пострадала. Французские войска, сожгли главный дом, разграбили и осквернили Троицкую церковь. Но уже в 1816 году храм был восстановлен, в нем возобновились богослужения.
Grey limestone sculpture (1956) by Barbara Hepworth, seen in the sculpture garden of the B. Hepworth Museum St. Ives, Cornwall. In the background is St. Ia, the Anglican parish church of St. Ives. Ia was one of the Irish saints bringing Christianity to the place, 1500 years ago. When Barbara arrived and joined the community of St. Ives, over half a century ago, she brought totally new shapes and forms. Through some of these we can see Christianity in a new way.

The Church is considered extremely holy in Christianity being both the site where Jesus was crucified, and the location of Jesus's tomb.

The monastery was established between 1070 and 1077 by Vsevolod, son of Yaroslav the Wise. It was a family cloister of Vsevolod's son Vladimir Monomakh and his descendants.Only a few churches of this monastery have survived over the centuries. One of these is the Collegiate Church of Saint Michael, which was built on behest of Vsevolod I and partly reconstructed between 1766 and 1769 by architect M. I. Yurasov. The Ukrainian baroque structures include the magnificent 5-domed St. George Cathedral, Transfiguration of the Saviour Church and refectory, all dating from 1696-1701. A belltower, commissioned by the Hetman Danylo Apostol, was erected in 1727-33 and built up in 1827-31.
The National Bank of Ukraine has issued a jubilee coin with a face value of 5 hryvnias. This coin celebrates St. Michael's Vydubychi Monastery, which was founded by Vsevolod, a son of Yaroslav the Wise, in an area called Vydubychi, which lies on the southern outskirts of Kyiv. According to a chronicle, the area derives its name from the Ukrainian word “vidibati” (to surface). In that area, a wooden idol of the pagan god Perun surfaced after being dumped into the Dnipro River near the Old Kyiv Mount when Christianity was declared the official of Kyiv Rus. St. Michael's Church, which was built in the latter quarter of the 11th century, was the monastery's first masonry church. In the early 12th century, the monastery became one of the places where chronicles were written. The monastery owned many lands with crossing points on the Dnipro River and its tributary - the Lybid River. The monastery played an active role in the political life of Kyiv Rus. Before battle, soldiers usually gathered near St. Michael's Church. The monastery, which is a national architectural monument, took its modern shape in the late 17th and the early 18th centuries, when several structures were added to it. These included St. George's Cathedral, one of the best masterpieces of the Ukrainian Baroque style, the monastery refectory, the Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior, and a bell tower.
The Holy Island, Northumberland, England. As a centre for Celtic Christianity, Lindisfarne has a recorded history dating back to the 6th century AD. Lindisfarne Castle (left of image) dates back to 1550 and the island was designated a world heritage site in 1976. One of the most extraordinary sunrises I've seen.
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.
Mtskheta (Georgian: მცხეთა) is one of the oldest cities of Georgia, it is located approximately 20 kilometres north of Tbilisi, at the confluence of the Kura and Aragvi rivers.
Due to its historical significance and several cultural monuments, the "Historical Monuments of Mtskheta" became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. As the birthplace and one of the most vibrant centers of Christianity in Georgia, Mtskheta was declared as the "Holy City" by the Georgian Orthodox Church in 2014.
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.

Cathedral
The interior of the beautiful cathedral of Málaga.
So, we have made the choice to visit the cathedral , a decision that was absolutely the right one.
Short desciption
The Cathedral of Málaga is a Roman Catholic church in the city of Málaga in Andalusia in southern Spain. It is in the Renaissancearchitectural tradition. The cathedral is located within the limits defined by a now missing portion of the medieval Moorish walls, the remains of which surround the nearby Alcazaba and the Castle of Gibralfaro. It was constructed between 1528 and 1782, following the plans drawn by Diego de Siloe; its interior is also in Renaissance style.
The outstanding interior and personal feelings
There are so many things to tell about the magnificent interior, the overwhelming pillars, the beautiful paintings and statues. If you're a roman catholic or not, one can admire the artists and the craftsmanship. If you are a catholic or not, you can really feel the higher spirit of this beautitful church of christianity.
“These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." Revelation 7:14
St. Nicholas Cathedral, the main temple of the Pokrovsky Convent, was built in 1896-1911 according to the project of Kyiv architect Volodymyr Mykolayev in the neo-Russian style. Initially, the temple was crowned with 15 domes with gilded crowns and crosses. The interior of the cathedral was decorated with a monumental painting (1897-1898), an iconostasis of the 19th century, and icons.
In the 1920s, the monastery was closed, many monastery buildings were destroyed, and the domes on the Intercession Church were dismantled (1923). In 1935, all the domes were removed from the Mykolaiv Church, which had an exceptional compositional value for the building itself and the ensemble of the monastery as a whole. The destruction of monastic buildings continued until the 1960s. Today, this cathedral - the highest church in Ukraine - reaches 67 meters.
Свято-Миколаївський собор, головний храм Покровського жіночого монастиря, було зведено у 1896-1911 роках за проектом київського архітектора Володимира Миколаєва в неоросійському стилі. Спочатку храм вінчали 15 куполів з позолоченими маківками й хрестами. Інтер'єр собору прикрашав монументальний розпис (1897-1898 рр.), іконостас XIX століття, ікони.
У 1920-х рр. монастир було закрито, зруйновано багато монастирських будівель, демонтовано куполи на Покровській церкві (1923 р.). 1935 року з Миколаївського храму було знято всі куполи, які мали виняткове композиційне значення для самої будівлі й ансамблю монастиря в цілому. Руйнування монастирських споруд тривало до 1960-х рр. На сьогоднішній день цей собор - найвищий храм України - сягає 67 метрів.
Se habla de esta iglesia en 1432, cuando Pedro Ibañez de Arostegi, dejó en su testamento un dinero para la misma. Su construcción data de primeros del s. XV. Pero esta ermita fue vendida por el Ayuntamiento en 1810 para ser reducida a caserío, con la intención de realizar una capilla en el cementerio del barrio. La iglesia se terminó en 1830, siendo declarada parroquia en 1881.

Построенная из итальянского мрамора в византийском стиле, Крестовоздвиженская церковь видела за свою двухсотлетнюю историю много знаковых событий. Здесь отпевали императора Александра III. Здесь приняла православие будущая жена Николая II Александра Федоровна. В Крестовоздвиженской церкви новый император присягнул на верность российскому престолу.
These beautiful cloisters lead to one of the oldest pharmacies in Europe – which is still serving the public more than 700 years after it was founded. It’s part of the Franciscan monastery in Dubrovnik’s Old Town, in Croatia.
It was founded in 1317 as an in-house pharmacy for the Franciscan friars, but was later expanded to embrace all Dubrovnik’s townspeople.
Today the peaceful cloisters, and the courtyard they surround, are a welcome release from the tourist trail. And, extraordinarily, the pharmacy is still a going concern, offering products and remedies which are made according to ancient Franciscan recipes. Not least among the temptations on offer are skin creams made from local wild herbs.
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.
The Lady Chapel of Tewkesbury Abbey is to die for. I also love the effect of the different light colours, particularly rich from the candles.
The Abbey Church of St Mary the Virgin, Tewkesbury – commonly known as Tewkesbury Abbey – is located in the English county of Gloucestershire. A former Benedictine monastery, it is now a parish church. Considered one of the finest examples of Norman architecture in Britain, it has the largest Romanesque crossing tower in Europe. Tewkesbury had been a centre for worship since the 7th Century. A priory was established there in the 10th Century. The present building was started in the early 12th Century. It was unsuccessfully used as a sanctuary in the Wars of the Roses. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, it became the parish church for the town. George Gilbert Scott led the Restoration of the building in the late 19th Century.
The churchmanship of the Abbey is strongly Anglo-Catholic.

For everything that happens in life—there is a season, a right time for everything under heaven Ecclesiastes 3:1
For a second time the message of the Eternal came to Jeremiah as he was being held in the court of the guard. The Eternal who made the earth, who formed and fashioned it, the One whose name is the Eternal, has this to say: Eternal One: Call to Me, and I will answer you. I will tell you of great things, things beyond what you can imagine, things you could never have known.
Jeremiah 33:2-3
Open the eyes of your heart, and dance with the Eternal.

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).
CATALÀ
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.

Великая Печерская Церковь, церковь, «небесам подобная».
Успенский собор Киево-Печерской лавры – один из древнейших храмов Киевской Руси, уникальный памятник архитектуры, усыпальница многих выдающихся личностей. На протяжении многих столетий собор был одной из наиболее чтимых святынь Православной Церкви.
Успенский собор также уникален как архитектурное произведение, потому что в период барокко, в отличие от классицизма, не было принято строить святыни под копирку — каждая церковь была уникальным произведением искусства.
На фото: фрагмент верхнего правого фронтона лицевого западного фасада собора. В центре росписи - фигура преподобного Антония Печерского, окруженная картинами, рассказывающими о его делах.

The skeletal remains of a church bleached in the water and the sun for many decades stood desolate and forlorn. A Holy Cross lay fallen on the dry ground.
Shettihalli Church is located in Hassan, in Karnataka. It was a grand piece of Gothic Architecture built by French Missionaries around 1860 and was subsumed in 1960 by the backwaters of a dammed Hemavathy river.
This was shot in March and the low water level reveals a major part of the edifice. During the monsoon season only the spires and the Cross on the Church and some top portion of the walls is visible.
