Located in the midst of the LBJ State and National Parks, across the Pedernales River from the LBJ Ranch, is the Trinity Lutheran Church in Stonewall, Texas. This church was a familiar place of worship for Lyndon Johnson before, during and after his presidency. President Johnson was a member of the "Christian Church," also called the "Disciples of Christ," and considered the First Christian Church in Johnson City as his "home church." When at his ranch in Texas, President Johnson also attended Trinity Lutheran, as well as Saint Francis Xavier Church, also located in Stonewall.
Trinity Lutheran's congregation traces its history to 1902, when it was organized in the Albert, Texas schoolhouse. A sanctuary was built here in 1904, and existing structure was erected in 1928. Worship services were conducted in the German language until 1950. A fine example of the Gothic revival style of architecture, the church features fine details in its arched window and door openings, Gothic steeple, and original pressed metal siding.
Fortress in Kamieniec Podolski, (formerly known as the bulwark of Christianity or the gateway to the Polish) - guarded headland leading to the Old Town.
Originally strengthen existed in prehistoric times. Brick castle was built in the second half of the 14th century, and since 1432 permanently was in the Polish Kingdom.
In 1672, during the Polish-Turkish War, was first time occupied by the Turks.
After the conclusion of a peace treaty in Karłowice in 1699, the castle returned to Polish. It has been expanded and strengthened.
As a result of the second partition of Polish in 1793 Kamieniec became a part of Russia, and never returned to Poland border.

Twierdza w Kamieńcu Podolskim, (dawniej zwana także przedmurzem chrześcijaństwa lub bramą do Polski) – strzegła cypla prowadzącego do Starego Miasta.
Pierwotnie umocnienia istniały w czasach przedhistorycznych. Zamek murowany został zbudowany w drugiej połowie XIV wieku, a od 1432 na stałe znajdował się w Królestwie Polskim.
W 1672 roku, w trakcie wojny Polsko-Tureckiej, został po raz pierwszy zajęty przez Turków.
Po zawarciu układu pokojowego w Karłowicach w 1699, zamek powrócił do Polski. Został rozbudowany i umocniony.
W wyniku II rozbioru Polski w 1793 r. Kamieniec Podolski znalazł się w granicach Rosji, i już nigdy nie powrócił w granice Polski.
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.

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.
The monastery, and the neighbourhood in present-day Kyiv where it is located, was named after an old Slavic legend about the pagan god Perun and the Grand Prince Vladimir the Great of Kyiv. The word "Vydubychi" comes from the word Vydobychi → Vydobych → Vydobech (Ukrainian: Видобичі → Видобич → Видобеч) which means "to swim up", "emerge from water".
The legend has it that Vladimir ordered the wooden figures of Perun (the Thunder God) and other pagan gods dumped into the Dnieper River during the mass Baptism of Kyiv. The disheartened Kyivans, though accepting the baptism, ran along the Dnieper River calling for the old gods to emerge from water (Перуне выдуби!). Accordingly, the area down the river stream where Perun emerged was named Vydubichu or Vydubychi in modern Ukrainian.

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

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.

“Summer afternoon, summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.” —Henry James
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 incorporates in its chancel arch masonry dating from c.1200. To this early building a south aisle and south chapel were added in the earlier 13th century; the chancel may also have been lengthened at this time. By the early 19th century a south porch and west tower, constructed of timber, had been added. Restoration of the church took place in 1854-5 under the direction of T.H. Wyatt, when the external walls were rebuilt. In 1933 the south chapel was extended eastwards and an aisle was added to the northern side of the church.
St. Andrew's Church was a chapelry within Downton ecclesiastical parish until 1915 when it was annexed to Odstock parish. Arguments by the inhabitants of Nunton and Bodenham that the church should be detached from Downton parish had arisen since the latter half of the 16th century; at numerous points in the 17th to 19th centuries the scarcity of services was noted.
In 1553 there were three bells, which remain in the church today. Parish registers date from 1672; baptism registers from this date to 1906 are held at the Wiltshire & Swindon History Centre in Chippenham, as are marriage registers from 2000, with a brief gap between 1764 and 1759. Burial registers held at the Centre date from 1672 to 1965. Later registers than those cited here remain with the church.

The Alamo (meaning “cottonwood” in Spanish) was the site of the Battle of the Alamo in 1836, where American folk heroes James Bowie and Davy Crockett died. Today, both the Alamo itself and the 12-day battle story are historic touchstones to patriotic Texans.
What we now know as the Alamo was originally named Misión San Antonio de Valero. It was one of the early Spanish missions in Texas built by the Catholic church of Spain in San Antonio, Texas, in 1718. Its purpose was the education of local Coahuiltecan natives after their conversion to Christianity. In the 1790s, the mission was abandoned and the building became a fortress.
In 2015, the Alamo became one of five missions along the San Antonio River designated a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

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.
The Sphere Within Sphere, also known as Sfera con Sfera, is a series of sculptures created by Italian sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro depicting an enormous metal sphere with a cracked surface revealing an intricate interior with another cracked sphere inside.
Arnaldo Pomodoro says that the inner ball represents the Earth and outer ball represents Christianity. The design of the internal layers which look like the gears or cogwheels of a complex machine symbolizes the fragility and complexity of the world.
This sphere is at Trinity College in Dublin Ireland but it can be found at other prime location around the world. Originally created for the Vatican Church in the 1960s, also at the Headquarters of the UN in New York, The Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, USA, The Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, the Columbus Museum of Art in Columbus and the Tel Aviv University in Israel, to name a few.
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.

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.

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.
An early centre of Christianity, Crowland Abbey (sometimes spelt Croyland) is situated on what used to be an island in the Lincolnshire Fens. It was originally founded in memory of St. Guthlac early in the eighth century by Ethelbald, King of Mercia. It was entirely destroyed and the community slaughtered by the Danes in 866. Refounded in the reign of King Edred, it was again destroyed by fire in 1091, but rebuilt about twenty years later by Abbot Joffrid. In 1170 the greater part of the abbey and church was once more burnt down and once more rebuilt, under Abbot Edward. The abbey was dissolved by King Henry VIII in 1539 and much of the structure removed.
The existing remains, which are Grade I-listed, consist of the north aisle, still used (as it was from the earliest times) as the parish church; the splendid west front, the lower (twelfth century) and the upper part (fourteenth century) elaborately decorated with arcading and statues, and a few piers and arches of the nave. The church is dedicated to St Guthlac.
Simon Jenkins regards this as one of England's Thousand Best Churches.
