Hundred Avalokitesvaras (Hyakutai Kan'non 百体観音) are located in the Tsugaike settlement at an altitude of 700 m. These stone statues and stelae were donated by local well wishers for safety, health, prosperity etc. They were relocated to this place from their original roadside locations to widen old roads suitable for car traffic in the 19th century.
Avalokitesbara is a Bodhisattva of mercy, which is like a saint of Christianity. He became popular in China and translated to 観音 (Guan'yin). It was pronounced Kwanon and modified later to Kan'non in Japan.
There was a Japanese manufacturer who gave the name of Buddhist deity to its products. The company later considered to modify the brand name to sound more familiar to their international customers while keeping the existing Japanese customers. Kwanon was changed to Canon.

Андріївська церква — православна церква на честь Святого Андрія у стилі бароко у Києві.
Андріївська церква - легка, ажурна споруда органічно вписалася в тогочасний Київ, а відтак і в пізніший Київський міський пейзаж. Зведена в 1747-1762 роках, архітектором І.Ф.Мічуріним за проектом італійця Бартоломео Франческо Растреллі, Андріївська церква - яскравий зразок барокової архітектури, органічно утвердилася на українській землі.

Києво-Печерська лавра — православний монастирський комплекс що переданий в оренду Українській православній церкві (РПЦвУ) в Києві. Один із найбільших християнських центрів-святинь України. Визначна пам'ятка історії та архітектури.
Києво-Печерська лавра належить державі, а релігійні організації користуються нею на правах оренди.
Заснована 1051 року як печерний монастир за межами Києва. Свою назву отримала від печер, де оселилися перші його мешканці.
Ансамбль Києво-Печерської лаври є визначною пам'яткою історії та архітектури Середньовіччя та Ранньомодерного часу (Київської Русі та доби Гетьманщини), однією з найбільших святинь православ’я України та Східної Європи. Розташований на плато високого правого берега ріки Дніпро, ансамбль Лаври формувався протягом багатьох століть в органічному поєднанні з ландшафтом та відіграє роль загальноміської містобудівної домінанти.
У середньовіччі був оплотом православ'я Русі. 1592 року став ставропігією Вселенського патріархату Константинополя. 1688 року став лаврою. У ранньому новому часі перетворився на центр паломництва православних.
1994 року разом із Софійським собором внесений до переліку Світової спадщини ЮНЕСКО.
Архітектурний ансамбль набув свого сучасного вигляду в період розквіту українського бароко XVII-XVIIІ ст. Основними об’єктами ансамблю Києво-Печерської Лаври є Успенський собор, Троїцька надбрамна церква, Велика дзвіниця, церква Всіх Святих, Трапезна церква, монастирські оборонні мури з баштами, комплекси Антонієвих (Ближніх) та Феодосієвих (Дальніх) печер з наземними церквами – Хрестовоздвиженською та Різдва Богородиці, а також церква Спаса на Берестові.
Впервые Видубицкий монастырь упоминается в летописи под 1070 г.: «В се же лето заложена бысть церкы святаго Михаила в монастыре Всеволожи» (ПСРЛ. Т. 1. Стб. 174), «на Выдобычи» (Там же. Т. 2. Стб. 164).

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.
Tried to get a shot of Comet Neowise outside my workplace last night. I probably left it a week too late, and the light pollution in the centre of town doesn't make it easy, but this was my best effort. Nice shot of the church, if nothing else.
St John's Church in the Wiltshire town of Devizes, dates from 1130 when it was constructed as a chapel to the recently completed castle. It is rumoured that the altar relic at its foundation was a feather from the wing of the Angel Gabriel. The feather has yet to be discovered!
Simon Jenkins points out the strong contrast between the - unexceptional - English Perpendicular style of the nave and the decidedly French Norman style of the east end of the church. The north and south chapels that flank the Norman chancel make up a third focus of interest.

The grand Cathedral of St. Sophia the Wisdom of God has already been located in the historical center of ancient Kyiv for one thousand years. It is the most ancient Christian church that is fully preserved in the East Slavic area. Being born in the era of Christianization of Rus’ it became the cradle of Kyivan Christianity, statehood and culture, development of which was carried out under the sign of Sophia the Wisdom, which patrons the world. Saint Sophia the Wisdom of God, after whom the cathedral was named, is one of the fundamental ideologemes of Eastern Christianity. It is associated with the image of sovereign statehood wisely kept by God. The idea of Saint Sophia had been preserved as a basis of spiritual life of the entire population for centuries. The humanity can’t exist without this idea as a Christian nation, as a Church, because the idea of St. Sophia was identified with the wisdom of new Christian religion.

The monastery of the Benedictine Order at Pannonhalma was founded in 996 in Western Hungary and had a major role in the diffusion of Christianity in medieval Central Europe. The monastery shows a stratification of different architectural styles and various buildings.
Among these buildings: a school (the first ever school founded in the country), the monastic complex – home to the monks whose life is still based on St. Benedict’s Rule ‘Ora et labora’ -, the tourist welcome points and hospitality facilities, the Chapel of Our Lady, the Millennium Chapel and the botanical and herbal gardens.

Иконостас придела святой великомученицы Варвары находится слева от царских врат.
По стилю, как рококо такое, как Андреевская церковь. Ну а Екатерининский — он такой, более простой.
Придел св. вмц. Варвары пристроили к северной стене храма между 1688 и 1690 гг. На плане Киева 1695 г. он изображен с куполом, а верх собора – с новыми главами над парой восточных углов.
В 1712-1716 гг. генерал-губернатор Киева Дмитрий Голицын надстроил придел св. вмц. Варвары в благодарность за свое спасение в стенах обители от поразившей город чумы 1710-1711 гг. (монастырь не пострадал от эпидемии).
Святая Варвара, родившаяся в конце III века в семье богатого римского вельможи в ближневосточном городе Илиополе, просветилась христианским учением и открыто отреклась от язычества. Она не изменила христианской вере даже под жесточайшими пытками, которым ее подвергали наместник Илиополя и собственный отец, и была казнена. Память о ней чтит весь христианский мир. На знаменитой картине Рафаэля "Сикстинская мадонна" рядом с Богоматерью изображена Св. Варвара.
По преданию, мощи великомученицы доставила в Киев принцесса Варвара, дочь императора Византии Алексия Комнина, вышедшая замуж за строителя Михайловского собора - князя Святополка. Но византийские источники не подтверждают, что у Алексия Комнина была дочь Варвара. Более вероятно, что реликвия была приобретена русичами у византийцев вскоре после разграбления Константинополя крестоносцами-латинянами в 1204-м.

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.

My heart sways with the tall Summer grasses. ~ Me
Soon enough they will wither like grass, like green herbs fading in summer’s heat. Psalm 37:2
The grass withers, the flower fades; nothing lasts except the word of our God. It will stand forever. Isaiah 40:8

The church comprises of three rooms, one top, with a vestry room by sacrarium. Its walls are made of timbers covered with shingles and protected by wide closed wooden gallery around its bottom. The central dome is a simple octal structure without sharp edges, covered with a poppy head.
Inside the church, there is a five-level iconostasis from 18th Century. It is notable for plenty of carving, especially on the Sanctuary doors, as well as for bright decorations and picturesqueness.
У Пирогові Історико-географічну область України «Поділля» представляє церква святого Миколая з села Зелене Гусятинського району Тернопільської області.
Вона була побудована в 1817 році з чотиригранних брусів і покрита ґонтом — покрівельним матеріалом у вигляді невеликих пластин.
Трикамерна, одноверха, з ризницею при вівтарі, стіни зрубні, обшиті ґонтом, у нижній частині захищена широким опасанням. Центральна баня – простий восьмигранний намет без залому, увінчується маківкою.
У церкві встановлено п’ятиярусний іконостас ХVІІІ століття, який виділяється багатим різьбленням, особливо царських врат, яскравою декоративністю та живописністю.
Починаючи з 1996 р. тут проводяться богослужіння на свята, хрестини, вінчання.
Експонується разом з іншими пам'ятниками тієї ж місцевості - іконостасом XVIII ст. (с. Волиця) та дзвіницею початку XIX ст. (С. Товсте).
“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
A votive candle or prayer candle is a small candle, typically white or beeswax yellow, intended to be burnt as a votive offering in an act of Christian prayer, especially within the Anglican and Roman Catholic Christian denominations, among others. In Christianity, votive candles are commonplace in many churches, as well as home altars, and symbolize the "prayers the worshipper is offering for him or herself, or for other people.

My philosophy on flower photos: its not about a single flower, or a tree full of flowers. Its about capturing light, form, and balance.
Qualche foto dall'Abbazia di San Giuliano sulla strada per Monteluco, con veduta di Spoleto.
L'edificio sacro nel suo insieme appartiene al XII secolo, ma le sue origini si legano al movimento eremitico sul Monteluco che a cavallo fra il V e il VI secolo occupò le pendici del monte. Una immersione nella cristianità delle origini. 9 foto.

The Cloisters
Lincoln Cathedral sits on high ground overlooking the city, building work on the cathedral commenced in 1088 and continued in several phases throughout the medieval period, originally the three towers had slate spires, the spire on the central tower reputedly made the cathedral the tallest building in the world for 238 years between 1311 and 1549 when the spire was blow off in a storm, it was never placed.
The eminent Victorian writer John Ruskin declared: "I have always held... that the cathedral of Lincoln is out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles and roughly speaking worth any two other cathedrals we have.

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.
