Consecrated on September 1, 1853, the ruined “Old Church Dunlewy” located at the foot of Errigal overlooks the beautiful Poisoned Glen. Some believe this beautiful building to be haunted.
Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral
1085 De la Cathedrale Street, Montreal
The Cathedral is the third largest church in Quebec and is Catholic denomination. It was built to replace the former St. Jacques Cathedral which had burned in 1852. Work began in 1875 it was completed in 1894 and consecrated as St. James Cathedral being the patron of the parish that it served.
However in 1955 at the request of Cardinal Paul-Emile Leger it was rededicated by Pope Benedict XV to Mary, Queen of the world. There have been a number of restoration works. In 2003 the enclosed porch and esplanade were restored. Another restoration in 2005 was the work done to Bishop Ignace Bourget’s statue on the outside of the building.
The Bishop’s Mortuary was completed in 1935, this was dedicated to Bishop Bourget where lays his tomb. The walls and floors are made from Italian marble.
The Chapel of the Assumption has a beautiful wood carved altar with gold leaf decoration. There is a wonderful painting of Our Lady painted in the 17th cent by a Spanish monk (unknown). The altar itself was discovered by Rololphe Messmer, an Austrian architect in France. He donated to the cathedral in 1994.
The Ciborium which covers the altar and is located under the dome was created in Rome in 1900 by Joseph-Arthur Vincent and is a reproduction of the famous one in St. Peter’s in Rome.
The Statues which atop the roof of the Cathedral represent the thirteen parishes of Montreal and again imitate those on St. Peter’s in Rome.
There are many treasures to see whilst there, there are many paintings, beautiful stained glass window and panels. The Great Organ was built by Casavant Freres and installed in 1893. The company also did the maintenance work in the 1950’s.
A truly wonderful Cathedral to visit.
Monasterio de Valvanera, La Rioja, España.
El monasterio de Nuestra Señora de Valvanera es una abadía benedictina situada a las faldas de los Montes Mori y Redonda, en la sierra de la Demanda, perteneciente al municipio de Anguiano, en La Rioja (España). La abadía se halla en el valle del mismo nombre, a algo más de 1000 m sobre el nivel del mar, rodeado de espesos bosques de frondosas, y entre las cimas de los montes Pancrudos, La Rioja, Gomare y de San Lorenzo.
El monasterio acoge la advocación mariana de la Virgen de Valvanera, patrona de la comunidad autónoma de La Rioja, siendo por tanto un punto importante de peregrinaje para creyentes y de obligada visita para turistas en la región.
Actualmente está regido por cuatro monjes del Instituto del Verbo Encarnado.
La primera iglesia visigótica se construiría en el siglo X con la llegada de los primeros ermitaños, esta sería sucedida por otra prerrománica consagrada en el 1073 por el obispo Fortunio, siendo rey Sancho Garcés IV de Navarra. Tras esta se construyó una iglesia románica consagrada por Rodrigo, Obispo de Calahorra el 16 de septiembre de 1183.
La actual es del gótico tardío, de finales del siglo XIV, es de una sola nave con forma de cruz y en ella se venera a la Virgen de Valvanera, patrona de La Rioja.
Durante todo el siglo XVI se realizaron numerosas reformas sobre el edificio del claustro, aumentando las diferentes pandas, y construyendo una cámara abacial, las escaleras de acceso, la biblioteca, el refectorio, nuevas celdas, entre otras muchas reformas. Incluso se reconstruyeron por completo las cubiertas, siendo uno de los periodos de mayor actividad arquitectónica del monasterio.
Ya en el siglo XVII, se construyeron la nueva portería, las nuevas cocinas (la Cocina Santa o Cocina de San Atanasio), y uno de los elementos más característicos del monasterio, la galería porticada de la fachada sur. Esta galería contaba con 5 arcos al Sur y 3 al Oeste, generando una gran entrada protegida al monasterio, ya que el acceso a este se realizaba por su cara Oeste, no como actualmente que ser realiza por el Este. Los arcos originales estaban fechados en 1640, y eran neoclásicos de medio punto. El último de los arcos originales se derribó en 1949, para dar lugar a los actuales apuntados.
La portada de la fachada sur, y actual acceso a la hospedería, se realizó en la reforma de 1763, siendo de estilo neoclásico. Está construida con piedra toba roja, por dos pilastras toscanas y rematada por entablamento y frontón recto. Esta fachada se derribó y se volvió a construir en 1949, recolocando dicha portada.
The Monastery of Our Lady of Valvanera is a Benedictine abbey located at the foot of the Mori and Redonda Mountains, in the Sierra de la Demanda, part of the municipality of Anguiano, in La Rioja (Spain). The abbey is located in the valley of the same name, at just over 1,000 m above sea level, surrounded by dense deciduous forests, and between the peaks of the Pancrudos, La Rioja, Gomare, and San Lorenzo mountains.
The monastery embraces the Marian devotion of the Virgin of Valvanera, patron saint of the autonomous community of La Rioja, and is therefore an important pilgrimage site for believers and a must-see for tourists in the region.
It is currently governed by four monks of the Institute of the Incarnate Word.
The first Visigothic church was built in the 10th century with the arrival of the first hermits. This was followed by another pre-Romanesque church consecrated in 1073 by Bishop Fortunio, during the reign of Sancho Garcés IV of Navarre. After this, a Romanesque church was built, consecrated by Rodrigo, Bishop of Calahorra, on September 16, 1183.
The current church is late Gothic, dating from the late 14th century. It has a single nave in the shape of a cross and venerates the Virgin of Valvanera, patron saint of La Rioja.
Throughout the 16th century, numerous renovations were carried out on the cloister building, including enlarging the various galleries and constructing an abbatial chamber, the access stairs, the library, the refectory, and new cells, among many other improvements. Even the roofs were completely rebuilt, marking one of the monastery's periods of greatest architectural activity.
As early as the 17th century, the new gatehouse, the new kitchens (the Holy Kitchen or Kitchen of Saint Athanasius), and one of the monastery's most characteristic elements, the porticoed gallery on the south façade, were built. This gallery had five arches to the south and three to the west, creating a large, protected entrance to the monastery, as access was via its west face, rather than the east as is currently the case. The original arches were dated 1640 and were semicircular neoclassical. The last of the original arches was demolished in 1949, to make way for the current pointed arches.
The doorway on the south façade, and the current entrance to the guest house, was completed during the renovation of 1763 and is in the neoclassical style. It is built with red tuff stone, with two Tuscan pilasters and an entablature and a straight pediment. This façade was demolished and rebuilt in 1949, with the portal replaced.
Dies war ursprünglich ein 1508 geweihter Bau, der dann 1738 - 39 von Dominikus Zimmermann komplett umgestaltet wurde.
Wir sehen hier nur den oberen Teil mit seiner gerundeten Viereckkuppel mit den raumerweiternden vier Halbkonchen.
Die Kuppel gehört zum phantasievollsten und komplexesten was das schwäbische Rokoko entwickelt hat. Die gesamte Kapelle ist eine der Glanzleistungen von Dominikus Zimmermann. Ob der Bruder Johann Baptist Zimmermann die Fresken erstellt hat ist noch nicht gesichert; er war zumindest mit dem Altarblatt beteiligt.
This was originally a building consecrated in 1508, which was then completely redesigned by Dominikus Zimmermann in 1738 - 39.
We only see the upper part with its rounded square cuppola with the four semi-conchairs that extend the space.
The cupola is one of the most imaginative and complex things developed by the Swabian rococo. The whole chapel is one of the most brilliant achievements of Dominikus Zimmermann. Whether the brother Johann Baptist Zimmermann created the frescoes is not yet certain; he was at least involved with the altarpiece.
Il s'agissait à l'origine d'un bâtiment consacré en 1508, qui a ensuite été entièrement remanié par Dominikus Zimmermann en 1738 - 39.
Nous ne voyons ici que la partie supérieure avec son coupole quadrangulaire arrondie avec les quatre semi-conducteurs qui s'étendent dans l'espace.
Le coupole est l'une des choses les plus imaginatives et les plus complexes que le rococo souabe ait développées. La chapelle entière est l'un des chefs-d'œuvre de Dominikus Zimmermann. On ne sait pas encore si le frère Johann Baptist Zimmermann a créé les fresques ; il a au moins participé à la feuille d'autel.

The newly consecrated National Cathedral of the Romanian Orthodox Church, still under construction in Bucharest
Orthodox Patriarchs of Constantinople and Bucharest consecrate Cathedral
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_People%27s_Salvation_Cathe...
The Cathedral was consecrated on 25 November 2018 by the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomew I, Patriarch Daniel of Romania and Metropolitan Chrysostomos (gr) of Patras from the Greek Orthodox Church.
The first wooden church in Sokółka was built by King Zygmunt II August in 1565, for the needs of the royal court, while the parish was equipped by King Zygmunt III Waza. This church burnt down together with parish buildings in 1796.
The current brick temple of St. Antoni Padewski was built in the years 1840-1848. At the beginning of the 20th century, two naves, side chapels, sacristy behind the main altar and auxiliary rooms were added.
This church gained fame after recognizing the "Eucharistic miracle" that happened on October 12, 2008. The priest who distributed Holy Communion fell on the step of the altar consecrated messenger. According to the procedure, the communicator is placed in a vessel with water to dissolve. After a week, the communicator almost dissolved and a red spot appeared on it, as if slightly clotted blood. Two independently performed pathological tests at the Medical University showed that the sample is in the form of tissue similar to the myocardium in a state of agony.
In 2011, "Particle of the Lord's Body" was exposed to public adoration in the chapel of Mother God of Rosary.

Pierwszy drewniany kościół w Sokółce zbudował król Zygmunt II August w roku 1565, dla potrzeb dworu królewskiego, natomiast parafię uposażył król Zygmunt III Waza. Kościół ten spłonął wraz z zabudowaniami plebańskimi w roku 1796.
Obecna murowana świątynia pw. Św. Antoniego Padewskiego wybudowana została w latach 1840-1848. Na początku XX wieku dobudowano dwie nawy, kaplice boczne, zakrystię za ołtarzem głównym i pomieszczenia pomocnicze.
Kościół ten uzyskał sławę po uznaniu "cudu eucharystycznego", który wydarzył się 12 października 2008 roku. Kapłanowi rozdzielającemu Komunię Świętą upadł na stopień ołtarza konsekrowany komunikant. Zgodnie z procedurą, komunikant umieszcza się w naczyniu z wodą celem rozpuszczenia. Po tygodniu komunikant prawie się rozpuścił a na nim pojawiła się czerwona plamka, jakby lekko skrzepniętej krwi. Dwa wykonane niezależnie badania patamorfologiczne w Uniwersytecie Medycznym wykazały, że badana próbka ma postać tkanki podobnej do mięśnia sercowego człowieka w stanie agonii.
W 2011 roku "Cząstkę Ciała Pańskiego" wystawiono do publicznej adoracji w kaplicy MB Różańcowej.
The monastery was founded by the Assyrian monk Joseph (Yoseb, Amba) Alaverdeli, who came from Antioch and settled in Alaverdi, then a small village and former pagan religious center dedicated to the Moon. At a height of over 55 m (180 ft), Alaverdi Cathedral was the tallest religious building in Georgia, until the construction of the Holy Trinity Cathedral of Tbilisi, which was consecrated in 2004. However its overall size is smaller than the cathedral of Svetitskhoveli in Mtskheta. The monastery is the focus of the annual religious celebration Alaverdoba. Situated in the heart of the world's oldest wine region, the monks also make their own wine, known as Alaverdi Monastery Cellar.[2]
The present day cathedral was built in the 11th century by Kvirike III of Kakheti, replacing an older church of St. George.
The collegiate church was consecrated from the start. Later (perhaps at the inauguration of the new building of 1082) the patronal feast of St. Agapitus of Praeneste. After several previous buildings had been destroyed by fire, the construction of today's church began in 1232. In 1277 Abbot Friedrich von Aich was able to inaugurate the nave for the five -hundredth anniversary of the foundation; Another 200 years passed until the Gothic Church (towers) was completed.
The church has been baroque in several phases since the beginning of the 17th century and thus changed sustainably. Under Abbot Anton Wolfradt, one was mainly limited to the conversion of the choir room, the church was subjected to comprehensive baroqueization under the direction of Carlone, by Giovanni Battista Colomba and Giovanni Battista Barberini (1625–1691). At first they removed the cloakplates set up in the early 17th century and covered the entire interior with stucco work, for which Giovanni Battista Colomba and Giovanni Battista Barberini were responsible. The west facade of the church from 1681 also comes from the latter. For the fresco equipment inside, the scenes from the Old Testament, the Grabenberger brothers from Krems were won, of which Michael Christoph was particularly characterized. This second phase of baroqueization was completed after twelve years of work.
Under Abbot Alexander Strasser (1709–1731), the redesign of the collegiate church came to an end. In this third phase, the high altarpiece and the tabernacle, the pulpit, the wide staircase up to the presbytery and the side altars fall. Particularly noteworthy are the baroque angel made of marble by Johann Michael Zürn the younger one, who, in addition to the numerous side altar knees and stand, impressive examples of the Austrian baroque. The collegiate church of St. Agapitus has remarkable dimensions. It is 78 meters long and 21 meters wide. The main ship is 18 meters, the side aisles are 12 meters high.
L'église collégiale a été consacrée dès le début. Plus tard (peut-être à l'inauguration du nouveau bâtiment de 1082) la fête patronale de St. Agapitus de Praeneste. Après que plusieurs bâtiments précédents aient été détruits par le feu, la construction de l'église d'aujourd'hui a commencé en 1232. En 1277, l'abbé Friedrich von Aich a pu inaugurer la nef pour le cinq centième anniversaire de la Fondation; De plus 200 ans ont passé jusqu'à ce que l'église gothique (tours) soit terminée.
L'église est baroque en plusieurs phases depuis le début du XVIIe siècle et a donc changé de manière durable. Sous l'abbé Anton Wolfradt, l'un était principalement limité à la conversion de la salle de chorale, l'église a été soumise à une baroqueisation complète sous la direction de Carlone, par Giovanni Battista Colomba et Giovanni Battista Barberini (1625-1691). Au début, ils ont retiré les calculs installés au début du XVIIe siècle et couvraient l'intérieur de l'intérieur avec des travaux de stuc, pour lesquels Giovanni Battista Colomba et Giovanni Battista Barberini étaient responsables. La façade ouest de l'église de 1681 vient également de ce dernier. Pour l'équipement de fresque à l'intérieur, les scènes de l'Ancien Testament, les frères Grabenberger de Krems ont été gagnés, dont Michael Christoph a été particulièrement caractérisé. Cette deuxième phase de baroqueisation a été achevée après douze ans de travail.
Sous l'abbé Alexander Strasser (1709-1731), la refonte de l'église collégiale a pris fin. Dans cette troisième phase, le compte rendu haut et le tabernacle, la chaire, l'escalier large jusqu'au presbytère et les autels latéraux tombent. L'ange baroque est particulièrement remarquable en marbre par Johann Michael Zürn le plus jeune, qui, en plus des nombreux genoux de l'autel d'équipe, des exemples impressionnants du baroque autrichien. L'église collégiale de Saint-Agapitus a des dimensions remarquables. Il mesure 78 mètres de long et 21 mètres de large. Le navire principal est de 18 mètres, les allées latérales mesurent 12 mètres de haut.

Sant'Apollinare in Classe was consecrated on May 9, 549.
It is quite famous because of its mosaics and is registred as an UNESCO world heritage site (one of 8 such sites in Ravenna).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basilica_of_Sant%27Apollinare_in_Cl...
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The chapel, consecrated in 1617, is also part of the museum. It is the best preserved part of the Renaissance complex, having largely escaped damage in the 1859 fire. The chapel extends along the entire length of the west wing with a long nave and a two-storey gallery. The richly decorated six-vaulted stucco ceiling is borne by pillars rising from the galleries.
The pillars bear grisaille frescos of Biblical figures, painted in the 1690s. The galleries were decorated during the reign of Frederick III (1648–1670) as can be seen from his arms.
The Chapel's most significant artifact is the organ, built by Esajas Compenius in 1610. It was installed by Compenius himself shortly before his death in Hillerød in 1617. The oldest organ in Denmark, it has 1,001 wooden pipes. Its original manually driven blower has been preserved. The instrument is richly decorated with ebony, ivory and silver.
The altarpiece and pulpit from the early 17th century are the work of the silversmith Jacob Mores from Hamburg. In the king's prayer chamber adjoining the Chapel, there is a small silver altar crafted by the goldsmith Matthäus Wallbaum from Augsburg in 1600.
“When Father Damien consecrated his life to Christ and buried himself in the leper settlement of Kalawao, he little thought that the echoes of his self-sacrifice would not only be the bugle call to quicken the divine life in thousands of souls . . . but that they would rouse an Empire. . . . No one can measure the results of the simplest act performed with a single eye from love to God and man.”
-Edward Clifford, quoted in Gavan Daws, Holy Man: Father Damien of Molokai (New York: Harper and Row, 1973), p. 221.
St. Luke’s and Christ Church
Christchurch Street, London, SW3 4AS
The church was consecrated in 1839 due to the expansion of London. Prior to this Chelsea was open countryside. The church was essentially for working class people employed in the many grand houses in the vicinity.
The church was built in the traditional style, The Nave, Aisles and a gallery over the Aisles. It had a large pulpit in the centre but no place for a choir. A bit austere.
The church was designed by Edward Blore a very well-known individual. He designed the main front of Buckingham Palace in 1846.
In 1876 the church was gifted firstly an organ from St Michael, Queenhithe and secondly the pulpit from an unknown city church. Both these were gifts from churches that were demolished due to reconstruction of the City. In 1890 there were alterations, the nave roof was completely rebuilt, and there was further renovation to the supporting pillars between aisles and the nave. Both the west and east ends of the church were extended. Finally the western gallery and most of the old pews were removed. New larger pews were installed.
It has some lovely windows; one particularly is designed from The Creation to honour William Wilberforce and the Earl of Shaftsbury with their efforts to bring social justice into the main stream of life.
The Palatine Chapel, consecrated on Palm Sunday, 28 April, 1140, is on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. The mosaics in the Palatine Chapel were probably made by the same craftsmen that made the mosaics in the Martorana and the central apse of the Cathedral in Cefalù.
The Chapel is part of the architectural complex of the Norman Palace. We don't know for certain when the mosaics were made, but the mosaics of the nave and aisles were most likely made during the rule of William I (1154-1166).
.The Palatine Chapel is the royal chapel of the Norman kings of Kingdom of Sicily situated on the first floor at the center of the Norman Palace in Palermo. The chapel is a great symbol of multi-cultural cooperation. Craftsmen of three different religious traditions worked alongside each other.
The madonna below Christ Pantocrator is an addition from the 18th century. Originally there was a window there. The Chapel had 50 windows (later blocked) designed to illuminate at all times of the day the stories told on the wall.
The texts in the chapel are written in Greek, Arabic and Latin.
The Cathedral of the Annunciation of Blessed Virgin Mary was consecrated in 1088. It is a three-nave temple in the Romanesque style with Byzantine and early Christian elements.
The most characteristic feature is the mosaic floor of the entire nave and presbytery from the 12th century, as well as the richly decorated ceiling.
The right nave of the cathedral ends with the Chapel of the Martyrs. Seven large glass niches contain the bones of Otranto's citizens. They were murdered by beheading by the Turks on August 14, 1480, after they refused to convert to Islam. Behind the altar there is the "Rock of Martyrdom", on which the heads of about 800 inhabitants of Otranto were beheaded.
On May 12, 2013, Pope Francis proclaimed saints 800 martyrs of Otranto.

Katedra Zwiastowania NMP została konsekrowana w 1088 roku. Jest to świątynia trójnawowa w stylu romańskim z elementami bizantyjskimi i wczesnochrześcijańskimi.
Najbardziej charakterystyczną cechą jest pochodząca z XII wieku mozika podłogowa całej nawy i prezbiterium oraz bogato zdobiony sufit.
Prawa nawa nawa katedry kończy się Kaplicą Męczenników. W siedmiu dużych przeszklonych wnękach znajdują się kości obywateli Otranto. zostali oni zamordowani ścięciem głowy przez Turków 14 sierpnia 1480 roku, po tym jak odmówili przejścia na Islam. Za ołtarzem znajduje się kamień "Skała Męczeństwa”, na którym odcięto głowy około 800 mieszkańcom Otranto.
Papież Franciszek 12 maja 2013 ogłosił świętymi 800 męczenników z 1480 w Otranto.
Glasgow Cathedral
Begun in the year 1136, the cathedral is the only Scottish cathedral to have survived the Scottish Protestant Reformation intact (1525-1560) by which Scotland broke with the Papacy and developed a predominantly Calvinist national Kirk (church) mostly Presbyterian.
"The first stone built Glasgow Cathedral was dedicated in the presence of King David I in 1136. The present building was consecrated in 1197. Since that same period the Cathedral has never been unroofed and the worship of God has been carried out within its walls for more than 800 years." Source: glasgowcathedral.org
Cathédrale de Glasgow
Commencée en 1136, la cathédrale est la seule cathédrale écossaise à avoir survécu intacte à la Réforme protestante écossaise (1525-1560) par lequel l'Écosse a rompu avec la papauté et a développé une église nationale Kirk à dominance calviniste principalement presbytérienne..
«La première cathédrale construite en pierre de Glasgow a été consacrée en présence du roi David Ier en 1136. Le bâtiment actuel a été consacré en 1197. Depuis cette même période, la cathédrale n'a jamais changée sa vocation initiale et le culte de Dieu a été pratiqué dans ses murs depuis plus de 800 ans.» Source: glasgowcathedral.org
In 1070 Robert de Beaumont founded a collegiate church that was consecrated in 1087. In 1148, Galeran de Beaumont gave his church to Bec Abbey in Le Bec-Hellouin (at the time of Robert and Hellouin the villages were obviously named after their owner). Bec Abbey used the church to found a priory. The today visible ruins of the church were built in the 13th century though. Since the 17th century the priory was abandoned. (Probably because of the wars of religion? That's just a guess.) And the buildings were in a state of advancing decay. After the French Revolution (1789-1799) the rest of the buildings was used as spinning mill (if I remember right, the spinning mill was destroyed by a fire). The church was destroyed in the years between 1820 and 1850.
Bishop of St Andrews.
By 1290 Kinghorn Church was an important religious centre. At the east of the present church are the ruins of an earlier building, probably that consecrated by the Bishop of St Andrews in 1243.
1567 – possible construction of the most interesting internal feature – the fine model of the ship, Unicorn, hanging in the Sailors Aisle.
The ministers of 17th century Kinghorn represent the shifting currents of Scottish religious life. In the post-reformation period there were various attempts at repairing and altering the old church structure.
1608 – a repair was made to the upper part of the South Aisle by building a loft
1609 – the Sailors Aisle was built.
1659 – the pulpit was built.
1774 – Major rebuilding took place where the walls were taken down to window sill level and rebuilt. The result was a plain preaching box with two wings at the east end, to the south the Sailors Aisle and to the north, the Balmuto Aisle, with the laird’s loft above and the crypt below.
1778 – Major rebuilding of the church – greatly reduced in size, the Medieval chancel left as a total ruin. The interior was plainer, the seating a mixture of old and new pews. Balmuto Aisle rebuilt, still bears the inscription Claude Boswell 1774 on the exterior wall.
1778 – Split in the church led to formation of the Relief Church. Kinghorn Parish Church Hall broke away from the Parish Church when a Relief Church was formed which later became the United Presbyterian Church.
1779 – New church built on the same site as the later Rosslands Church, first minister appointed, Rev Joseph Johnston.
1788 – He rejoined the established church and the congregation left the Relief Church and moved to the Associate Burgher Church of Dunfermline.
1843 – Mr Jardine (minister) complains about the situation of the church which is well removed from where people live. The road to the church is narrow and steep, not fit for a carriage or gig nor for the elderly or infirm. The church was also showing signs of age and decay. One feature of this ministry was the dividing up of the parish into elders districts. Church services were well attended.
1844 – During the major reconstruction work they offered the use of their church for services and for a year or two congregations worshipped under the same roof. The Free Church of Scotland worshipped in the Old Meal Mill (what is now Barton Buildings).
1846 – Mr Ballingall ordained minister of that church 1847 – Ladyburn Church was completed. 1847 – Church became part of the United Presbyterian Church after a union of the Relief Church and the United Secession Church. The new church was very evangelical, had a democratic spirit and was very concerned with social reform and temperance.
1865 – New church was opened with seating for 320.
1894 – A further reconstruction took place – the steeple was added and the vestibule and chancel extended and the Unicorn refurbished.
Where Barton Buildings now stands was the Old Meal Mill where the Free Church commenced services in.
1894 – Further reconstruction of the church when the Bell Tower and Chancel were added. Free Church in Kinghorn offered the use of their church for services. For a year or two congregations worshipped under the same roof.
1900 – Congregation became part of the United Free Church of Scotland after the union of the United Presbyterian Church and the Free Church.
1902 – organ purchased through money raised by Ladies Association.
1912 – The church became very modern when the latest incandescent gas lights were fitted in the chancel beside the choir and pulpit.
1914 – Churches used to teach the children during war years as schools were commandeered by the Army.
1921 – Ladyburn Church bought by the Roman Catholics. Rosslands Church chosen for the united charge.
1929 – with the Union of the United Free Church and the Church of Scotland it became Rosslands Parish Church of Scotland. At this time the Old Parish Church was renamed St Leonards Parish Church.
1931 – Church Hall built on piece of ground in Nethergate.
1935 – 1st Kinghorn Boys Brigade and Girls Guildry were formed.
1937 – Church was redecorated and organ and choir stands moved from the chancel to a place in front of the Balmuto Loft. Screen erected in front of the Sailors Aisle making it into a separate chapel. Stained glass windows fitted, new communion table and lecturn supplied. All paid for by fund raising efforts of church members.
1939 to 1945 – Remembrance services alternated each year between St Leonards and Rosslands.
1960- Presbytery decreed that the two churches should unite and the congregation be known as Kinghorn Parish Church. Rosslands Church was converted into a hall. A congregational board was set up to leave the Session free to attend to other matters. The Union took place smoothly with office bearers, members and organisations mingling well. Rosslands Church was converted into a hall and St Leonards Hall was eventually demolished to make way for housing. A Congregational Board was set up to leave the Session free to attend to other matters.
1978 – Organ was removed to the gallery and completely rebuilt. Balmuto Loft rooms were combined and made into the Balmuto Room to provide a crèche and a congregational meeting place. Morning service was introduced at 9.30am.
1978 – Organ was removed to the gallery and completely rebuilt. Small rooms of Balmuto Loft were combined and made into the Balmuto Room for providing a crèche and a congregational meeting place. A morning service was introduced at 9.30 am in addition to the main service at 11.00am. Discussion groups were held on Sunday evenings.
1980 – The Faith, Hope and Charity shop opened.
Throughout its long history Kinghorn Church has been altered, reconstructed in parts, had its name changed from All Saints to St Leonards. Still, the church stands firm at the edge of the sea – a bastion against the changing tides of fashion and the movements of society which ebb and flow like the sea upon the sand beside her. But the church building is just stone and mortar and only becomes a living church when people come in and make it more than an empty shell.
1980 – A Church Centre opened in the High Street in 1980 where information can be obtained and exchanged over a cup of tea. Open every week day and served by lady volunteers within and outwith the Church. The Glory Hole just cant help raising money. The manse in Kilcruik Road was sold and the minister moved into a newly built house in Myre Crescent.
In January 2024 Burntisland Parish Church and Kinghorn Parish Church combined to form Burntisland and Kinghorn Church of Scotland. Jim Reid became the minister of the newly united Burntisland and Kinghorn Church of Scotland and was inducted at a service in the church in Burntisland on Thursday 18th January 2024. Worship will continue to take place in both towns, but we will have more joint services – both together as one Burntisland and Kinghorn Church and with our friends at Erskine United Free Church as part of the BEK partnership.
The Cathedral of the Annunciation of Blessed Virgin Mary was consecrated in 1088. It is a three-nave temple in the Romanesque style with Byzantine and early Christian elements.
The most characteristic feature is the mosaic floor of the entire nave and presbytery from the 12th century, as well as the richly decorated ceiling.
The right nave of the cathedral ends with the Chapel of the Martyrs. Seven large glass niches contain the bones of Otranto's citizens. They were murdered by beheading by the Turks on August 14, 1480, after they refused to convert to Islam. Behind the altar there is the "Rock of Martyrdom", on which the heads of about 800 inhabitants of Otranto were beheaded.
On May 12, 2013, Pope Francis proclaimed saints 800 martyrs of Otranto.

Brockhampton Chapel.. Worcester WR6 5TB, UK
Brockhampton Chapel coordinates...52.1914° N, 2.4644° W
Brockhampton Chapel Built c1799 by George Byfield, with glass by William Eginton. Sanctuary altered 1888-91 with reredos and glass by Powell's.
A Georgian Gothic chapel of tall and compact shape, which has embattled parapet and gables to the main elevations. Tall gabled buttresses rise above the parapet, and are diagonal at the angles. Entrance is by the west door, which has Gothic panelling and is beneath a blind-tracery overlight and square label. Above the doorway is a coat of arms in Coade stone, and a small wheel window. The tower rises from polygonal clasping buttresses, and its 2-light bell openings, recessed in square-headed frames, have Y-tracery and louvres. The embattled parapet has tall pinnacles. In the 5-bay south wall are tall 2-light windows with simple Perpendicular tracery. The chancel has a similar 3-light east window. The north side is plain, with blind windows.
HISTORY: Begun c1798 and consecrated c1810-11, the chapel was built in the grounds of Brockhampton Park at the expense of John Barneby, replacing a small Norman church at Lower Brockhampton. It was designed by George Byfield (c1756-1813), who was responsible for several country houses, but who specialised in prison building. Brockhampton is his only church. Brockhampton was one of the earliest churches in Herefordshire to be built in a Gothic-revival style. Glass for the east window was made by William Raphael Eginton (1778-1834) of Birmingham. New stained-glass windows and a reredos were made in the period 1888-1891 by Powell's of London, to designs by Mary Lowndes (1857-1929) and Ada Currey (1852-1913).

The City of Saint Paul was known as the Pig’s Eye Settlement until in 1841, when the first Catholic priest in the area, Fr. Lucien Galtier, dedicated his log chapel on the bluff to Saint Paul, requesting that the settlement adopt the name as well. The Cathedral of Saint Paul is now a civic landmark and the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Paul and Minneapolis. Approximately 1,000 households name the Cathedral as their home parish. One of the finest examples of Beaux Arts architecture, the Cathedral was designed by E. L. Masqueray. The cornerstone was laid on June 2, 1907. The first liturgy was held on Palm Sunday, March 28, 1915. Work continued on the interior for decades. On October 14, 1958, it was consecrated by Archbishop William O'Brady, securing its place among the premier houses of worship in the United States. It was placed on the National Register of Historical Buildings in 1974.
The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the main cathedral of the Assumption Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
A multi-tiered iconostasis includes several registers (rows, tiers), each of which has a corresponding symbolic meaning.
The main one in the iconostasis is the first, lower row of local icons: the Savior to the right of the royal gate and the Virgin to the left. Immediately behind the Savior, an icon of that saint or sacred event, in whose name the temple is consecrated, is placed. In this row there are also deacon's doors and local (the most revered in the area where the temple was built) icons. Thus, in the parish row, what is closest to the parishioners is presented.
Собор Успі́ння Пресвятої Богородиці — головний соборний храм Успенської Києво-Печерської Лаври.
Багатоярусний іконостас включає кілька регістрів (рядів, ярусів), кожен з яких має відповідне символічне значення.
Головним в іконостасі є перший, намістний (нижній) ряд.
Праворуч від царської брами у намісному ряді традиційно є образ Христа Спасителя (Вседержителя).
Ліворуч від царської брами образ Богородиці (Богоматері Одигітрії Чернігівської).
Одразу за Спасителем, друга ікона праворуч від царської брами, представлена ікона священної події, в ім’я якої освячено храм – образ Успіння Пресвятої Богородиці.
Друга ікона ліворуч від царської брами - ікона ще одного великого свята – Собор святих преподобних отців Печерських.
У другому ярусі над царськими вратами ікона Тайної вечері. Вона вказує на те, що за нею, у вівтарі, відбувається та ж Євхаристія, що й під час Таємної вечері Ісуса Христа. Праворуч і ліворуч від цієї ікони містяться образи дванадесятих свят, тобто найважливіших священних подій, які, згідно з віровченням християнства, послужили спасінню людства. Празничний ряд підносить свідомість вірян до подій Нового Завіту.
Третій регістр має у центрі ікону Христа Вседержителя на троні. Праворуч від нього — Діва Марія, ліворуч — Іоанн Хреститель (Предтеча). Ці три ікони називають «деісис» – моління. Обабіч них — образи архангелів та апостолів. Деісис з апостолами звертає вірян до майбутнього суду Божого і тих, котрі найближче до Бога моляться за рід людський.

In parts of the Catholic Church, the Christmas season lasts until Candlemas, i.e. until 2 February. I won't bore you with the different views on the length of the Christmas season in the Catholic Church and other Christian denominations.
The Cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church. It is located not far from the Kremlin on the left bank of the Moskva River, in a place formerly called the Church. The existing structure is an external reconstruction of the temple of the same name, created in the XIX century, carried out in the 1990s. The original Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow was erected in gratitude to God for saving Russia from the Napoleonic invasion. It was built according to the project of architect Konstantin Ton. The construction lasted almost 44 years: the temple was laid on September 23, 1839, consecrated on May 26, 1883. December 5, 1931. the temple building was destroyed. Rebuilt in the same place by 1999.

The Basilica of Sant'Apollinare in Classe ("Saint Apollinaris in Classe") is a church in Classe, Ravenna, Italy, consecrated on 9 May 549 by the bishop Maximian and dedicated to Saint Apollinaris, the first bishop of Ravenna and Classe.
An important monument of Byzantine art, in 1996 it was inscribed with seven other nearby monuments in the UNESCO World Heritage List, which described it as "an outstanding example of the early Christian basilica in its purity and simplicity of its design and use of space and in the sumptuous nature of its decoration".
Work on Sant'Apollinare in Classe started at the beginning of 6th century by order of Bishop Ursicinus, using money from the Roman banker Iulianus Argentarius. It was certainly located next to a Christian cemetery, and quite possibly on top of a pre-existing pagan one, as some of the ancient tombstones were re-used in its construction.
At that time, Classe was located on the shore and was the ancient home port of the Roman fleet which gave its name to the town. Due to the accumulation of silt, the coastline has since moved 9 kilometres to the east.
The imposing brick structure was consecrated on 9 May 549 by Bishop Maximian and dedicated to Saint Apollinaris. The Basilica is thus contemporary with the Basilica of San Vitale of Ravenna. The relics of Saint Apollinaris are today in the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare in Classe.
In the 15th century, Sigismondo Malatesta stripped the church of the marble covering the walls of the side aisles, to use it for the construction of the Tempio Malatestiano of San Francesco in Rimini.
St. Luke’s and Christ Church
Christchurch Street, London, SW3 4AS
The church was consecrated in 1839 due to the expansion of London. Prior to this Chelsea was open countryside. The church was essentially for working class people employed in the many grand houses in the vicinity.
The church was built in the traditional style, The Nave, Aisles and a gallery over the Aisles. It had a large pulpit in the centre but no place for a choir. A bit austere.
The church was designed by Edward Blore a very well-known individual. He designed the main front of Buckingham Palace in 1846.
In 1876 the church was gifted firstly an organ from St Michael, Queenhithe and secondly the pulpit from an unknown city church. Both these were gifts from churches that were demolished due to reconstruction of the City. In 1890 there were alterations, the nave roof was completely rebuilt, and there was further renovation to the supporting pillars between aisles and the nave. Both the west and east ends of the church were extended. Finally the western gallery and most of the old pews were removed. New larger pews were installed.
It has some lovely windows; one particularly is designed from The Creation to honour William Wilberforce and the Earl of Shaftsbury with their efforts to bring social justice into the main stream of life.
The neo-Gothic parish church was designed by the provincial architect Gustave Hansotte and consecrated on September 9, 1879. It was repaired on several occasions after the bombings of the First World War.

The Almudena Cathedral is the most important religious building in Madrid. It was consecrated by Pope John Paul II on 15 June 1993, making it the first cathedral to be consecrated outside of Rome.
The construction of la Almudena began on 4 April 1883 when Alfonso XII of Spain set the first stone. The project was driven and designed by the architect Francisco de Cubas.
The temple’s interior is rather surprising since it is completely different to any other cathedral built during the same period; the ceiling and the stained-glass windows being decorated with vivid colours and straight lines, much unlike the classical style.
The Catholic parish church consecrated to St. Nicholas was built between 1794 and 1798 in the early classical style. The architect is Johann Jakob Haltiner from Altstätten.
The church was used by both denominations until 1906.
The church was not consecrated until 1804.
Peter Anton Moosbrugger from Vorarlberg is hired to do the stucco work, while his son Josef Simon Mossbrugger creates the stucco marble pulpit.
In 1826 the high altar, a work by Jakob Anton Müller, is purchased. The side altars also come from Müller's workshop.

Il tempio venne consacrato ufficialmente nel 1198. La sua parte a fasce bianche e nere risale al XIII secolo (presumibilmente realizzata tra il 1256 e il 1277[1]), e venne restaurata tra il 1931 e il 1935. Questa parte è stata derivata da un corpo più antico, che consiste nella chiesa primitiva, mentre a sinistra il campanile è basato sulla cappella sinistra del presbiterio.
The temple was officially consecrated in 1198 His part in black and white bands dating back to the thirteenth century (presumably made between 1256 and 1277 [1]), and was restored between 1931 and 1935 this part was derived from a body oldest, who is in the early church, while on the left the bell tower is based on the chapel on the left of the presbytery.
Consecrated in 1918, this Polish Catholic church, which served Polish communities in the area, closed in the 1960s owing to population declines. It was restored on account of its historical significance in 1990. Alas, it is still closed although well maintained.
I love the overall look of this church as well as the spire with shakes, the insulbrick siding and the large chimney. I opted to include the bell "tower" but will post another view without it later.
The historic Metropolitan Cathedral of Panama City was consecrated in 1796 in Casco Viejo (old quarter) of Panama City, Panama. There are many wonderful shops, restaurants, and hotels here also.

Derelict, Abandoned Peel Chapel.
Peel Mortuary and Chapel, Overton, North Wales.

The Peel Mortuary Chapel and Cemetery in Overton on Dee
The Sad Story is that Edmund Peel aged 24 bought Bryn y Pys in 1848,married Anna Maria Lethbridge in 1854 and she died in 1860. She was initially buried in Overton Church graveyard before the Bishop gave permission for her to be moved to the new site.
His grief in losing his young wife resulted in his building of the mortuary chapel and cemetery, consecrated in June 1872 which was then given to the parishioners of Overton. This grief, however, may have been only part of the overall picture if we look at the context of Victorian history.
The reality was that at this time they could not cope with the huge demand for burial space, with a rising population due to the growing industrialisation , mining and railways, creating conditions where social amenities could not keep pace. In 1850 Clarke’s Public Health Enquiry put the death rate in Wrexham at 29 people /1000 ( the average of the day was 18/1000)This figure fell to 11/1000 in 1957 after the formation of Wrexham Council and the sanitation works undertaken.
It was a time of poor sanitation and cholera scares, ( John Snow discovered that cholera was transmitted by water in 1855).
There were several burial acts from 1852-1885 which were to regulate burial grounds and protect them from grave robbers for loot and medical science, and to prevent them being reused too quickly.
Edmund Peel’s building of the chapel and cemetery was therefore responding to a real need for the whole village population.

In August 1913, the foundation stone was laid for the new church in Schonach in the Black Forest, which was consecrated by the Archbishop of Freiburg in May 1922. However, the interior was not completed until the 1950s, the new organ was consecrated in 1954 and Josef Braun from Wangen completed the painting of the church in 1956/57. Eduard Kuner from Schonach stuccoed the church in the Baroque style.
The reason for the new building was that the old church had become too small, i.e. a larger church was needed.
In 1906, the first plans for the new building were drawn up, which were approved in 1912. Only the Gothic tower of the previous church remained. The basement of the tower was the former choir, now this is the entrance area.
Angelo Valentin, a wood sculptor from Offenburg, made the high altar. The high altar painting is much older, but it is unknown who painted it. The neo-baroque organ facade is also by Valentin. It contains an organ by the Freiburg organ builder Willi Dold.
"Gumlösa Church, the oldest datable brick church in the Nordic region, is a source of inspiration and spiritual energy.
The church was consecrated on 26 October 1192 by Archbishop Absalom of Lund. It has both a tower and vaulted ceilings, which was unusual in those days. High windows and shrapnel damage by the doors bear witness to the fact that the church was also built for defence. Today the church is situated nearby the Sinclair estate."

Frauenchiemsee Monastery church was consecrated in 782 by Bishop Virgil of Salzburg. In 788 the monastery came into the possession of Charles the Great, and passed from him to his grandson Ludwig the German. The foundations of the church, and possibly also parts of the walls, probably originate from the Carolingian era. The present church was already in existence in the 11th century. In the 12th and 13th centuries it was extended and rebuilt.

The Alexander Nevsky Memorial Church is an historic Russian orthodox church in Potsdam, Germany.
The church was built for the Russian residents of the settlement of Alexandrowka, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Consecrated in 1826, it is still an active congregation and the oldest Russian Orthodox church in Germany. Nevsky Church is a very early example of the Byzantine Revival architecture in Germany.

Bingley, West Yorkshire
The church was consecrated on the 23 October 1868 by Bishop Bickersteth when a population of 4,500 was assigned to it. The church, designed by the Victorian architect Richard Norman Shaw, was built without a tower, although one was added later which the foundations were not strong enough for.
Even as soon as 1882, it was noted that the tower was unsafe when a large stone came crashing down during a church service shocking the congregation.
In 1973, cracks were beginning to show in the church and the tower was scaffolded to allow piecemeal demolition of the structure. Two weeks before its explosive demolition, workmen at the top said that they heard the tower and church audibly creak and groan prompting the mass evacuation of nearby houses.
The decision was taken by convention of the architects, demolition experts and church authorities that blasting was the only option and so the tower and church were demolished by explosive charge on Palm Sunday in 1974.
The congregation raised £23,000 to build a new church on the site. This structure was dedicated on the 5 December 1975 and is still in use today with the stained glass from the original windows re-used in the Rose Window of the new church.
