Geschichte und Architektur:
Die Kirche wurde 1891 von Bischof Montgomery geweiht. Die kleine Landkathedrale im Stil der französischen Gotik wurde von Alexander North entworfen und von Lewis and Son und Hallet erbaut. Der Sandstein für diese Kirche wurde vor Ort abgebaut. Der Turm wurde 1923 hinzugefügt und eingeweiht, konnte jedoch aus Kostengründen nicht fertiggestellt werden. Vor dem Bau der heutigen Kirche trafen sich die anglikanische und die presbyterianische Gemeinde im selben Gebäude, das heute als St. Luke's Uniting Church erhalten ist. Eine Steintreppe führt zum Glockenturm und auf der Veranda gibt es Steinsitze. Der Grundstein wurde im Oktober 1887 gelegt und die Kirche wurde 1891 eröffnet und geweiht. Der Architekt war Alexander North und die Kirche besteht aus Bothwell-Stein im modifizierten gotischen Stil die Sakristei

The Basilica of Sant' Apollinare 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.
The exterior has a large facade with two simple uprights and one mullioned window with three openings. The narthex and building to the right of the entry are later additions, as is the fine 9th century round bell tower with mullioned windows.
Ravenna’s tallest campanile was added to the church in the late 10th century.
The church has a central nave with two side aisles, a standard basilica design. An ancient altar in the mid of the nave covers the place of the saint's martyrdom. The church ends with a polygonal apse, sided by two chapels with apses.
The nave contains 24 columns of Italian marble. The carved capitals of the columns depict acanthus leaves, but unlike most such carvings the leaves appear twisted as if being buffeted by the wind. The faded frescos depict some of the archbishops of Ravenna, and date to the 18th century. The lateral walls are bare, but were certainly once covered with gorgeous mosaics. These were likely demolished by the Venetians in 1449, although they left the mosaic decoration in the apse and on the triumphal arch, the church's most striking features.
The upper section of the triumphal arch depicts, inside a medallion, Christ. At the sides, within a sea of clouds, are the winged symbols of the four Evangelists: the Eagle (John), the Winged Man (Matthew), the Lion (Mark), the Calf (Luke). The lower section has, at its two edges, the walls showing precious gems from which twelve lambs (symbols of the Twelve Apostles) exit. The sides of the arch show two palms which, in the Bible's symbolism, represent justice; under them are the archangels Michael and Gabriel, with the bust of St. Matthew and another unidentified saint.
The decoration of the apse date to the 6th century, and can be divided into two parts:
in the upper one, a large disc encloses a starry sky in which is a cross with gems. Over the cross is a hand protruding from the clouds, the theme of the Hand of God. At the side of the disc are the figures of Elijah and Moses. The three lambs in the lower sector symbolize the saints Peter, James and John, alluding the Transfiguration of Jesus on Mount Tabor.
in the lower one is a green valley with rocks, bush, plants and birds. In the middle is the figure of Saint Apollinaris, portrayed in the act of praying God to give grace to his faithful, symbolized by twelve white lambs.
The choice of the subject is closely linked to the fight against Arianism, as it restates both the divine and human nature of Christ, the former negated by the Arians. In addition, the representation of Apollinaris among the apostles was a legitimization of Maximian as the first bishop of the diocese.
In the spaces between the windows are the four bishops who founded the main basilicas in Ravenna: Urscinus, Ursus, Severus and Ecclesius, all with a book in a hand. At the sides of the apse are two 7th-century panels: the left one, which has largely been restored, portrays the Byzantine Emperor Constantine IV granting privileges to an envoy of the Ravenna's archbishop. In the right panel are Abraham, Abel and Melchisedek around an altar, on which they offer a sacrifice to God.
The Basilica's walls are lined by numerous sarcophagi from different centuries. They attest the changes of style from the 5th to the 8th centuries: from reliefs with human figures of the Roman sarcophagi, to Byzantine symbolism, to the increasing abstraction and simplification of these symbologies.
Amber Fort (Hindi: आमेर क़िला, also known as Amer Fort) is located in Amber, 11 km from Jaipur, Rajasthan state, India. It was the ancient citadel of the ruling Kachhawa clan of Amber, before the capital was shifted to present day Jaipur. Amber Fort is known for its unique artistic style, blending both Hindu and Muslim (Mughal) elements, and its ornate and breathtaking artistic mastery. The fort borders the Maota Lake, and is a major tourist attraction in Rajasthan.
Amber was originally built by the Meenas in the town they consecrated to Amba, the Mother Goddess, whom they knew as `Gatta Rani' or `Queen of the Pass' [ Tod.II.282 ]. Built over the remnants of an earlier structure, the palace complex which stands today was commenced under the reign of Raja Man Singh, Commander in Chief of Akbar’s army and a member of the Emperor's inner circle of nine courtiers, in 1592. The initial structure of the fort was entirely completed by his descendant, Jai Singh I.[ Amber was modified by successive rulers over the next 150 years, until the Kachwahas shifted their capital to Jaipur during the time of Sawai Jai Singh II.
The structure which is known today as "Amber Fort" was initially a palace complex within the original fort of Amber that is today known as Jaigarh Fort. Connected to Amber via fortified passages, Jaigarh Fort is located on a hill above the Amber complex, and is constructed of red sandstone and white marble. It overlooks Maotha Lake, and was reputed to be the treasure vault of the Kacchwaha rulers.
Like the entire fort complex, Amber Fort is also constructed of white and red sandstone. The Fort is unique in that its outside, an imposing and rugged defensive structure, is markedly different from its inside, an ornate, lavish interior influenced by both Hindu and Muslim (Mughal) styles of ornamentation. The walls of the interior of the fort are covered with murals, frescoes, and paintings depicting various scenes from daily life. Other walls are covered with intricate carvings, mosaic, and minute mirror work.
Amber Fort is divided into four sections. Each is accessible via large staircases from a central location, or from a broad pathway leading to each of the sections. The pathways are currently used to transport tourists via an elephant ride. The main entrance of Amber Fort, Surajpol, leads to the Jaleb chowk, the main courtyard of the Fort where the staircase to the palace is located. In ancient times, Jaleb Chowk was the area where returning armies were paraded back home.
Just prior to the palace entrance is a narrow staircase leading to the Kali Temple, also known as the Shila Devi Temple, made popular for its enormous silver lions. The origins and purpose of these large lions is still unknown. The Kali Temple is known for its silver doors with raised reliefs. According to legends, Maharaja Man Singh I had worshiped Kali for a victory over the rulers of Bengal. The legend says that Kali appeared in the Maharaja's dream and ordered him to recover her statue from the Jessore seabed (now in Bangladesh) and place it in an appropriate temple. The accuracy of the legend has not been verified. However, it is said that the Maharaja recovered the statue from the bed of the sea and created the temple. A tourist curiosity is an image of Ganesha at the temple entrance, carved entirely from a single piece of coral.
JOEL 2
Blow the trumpet in Zion,
declare a holy fast,
call a sacred assembly.
Gather the people,
consecrate the assembly;
bring together the elders,
gather the children,
those nursing at the breast.
Let the bridegroom leave his room
and the bride her chamber.
Let the priests, who minister before the LORD,
weep between the temple porch and the altar.
Let them say, "Spare your people, O LORD.
Do not make your inheritance an object of scorn,
a byword among the nations.
Why should they say among the peoples,
'Where is their God?' "
The cathedral was consecrated by Pope Gelasius II in 1118 and was built between the twelfth century and the fourteenth century as fundamentally a medieval building, with some later additions.
All Saints was consecrated on in 1887 and is a fine example of Gothic Revival architecture standing in the centre of Gosforth, a few miles north of Newcastle upon Tyne. It's right next to the school where I teach and is the one we use for our Easter and Christmas services. As I haven't posted anything for a few days I thought it should process it from a hastily taken iPhone shot and put it into my 100x!
A detail of the exquisite ground level of the Sainte Chapelle, consecrated under King Saint-Louis in 1248. This lower chapel served as the parish church for the members of the royal palace then located on the Ile de la Cite.

And this is what I wrote in 2005 about my experience in the upper chapel where the stained glass windows are.
Un vrai bijou de la Douce France, parmi les centaines de merveilles de ce pays de merveilles. J'aurais bien voulu reste' ici longtemps, mais la nuit tombait - c'etait la derniere visite de la journee - et nous ne pouvions pas tarder. Neanmoins j'ai tente' plusieurs photos, sans trepieds biensure, a cause de la foule qu l'on voit a peine, en bas de la photo. Quoi dire sure ce lieu: deux mots: un veritable tresor.
It was late afternoon on an overcast winter day, so the light in this astonishing jewel of a place was dim. The last time I'd marvelled at these glorious windows had been years before, when I was a teenager. It was a bright spring day and they were sparkling in the sun. On that visit, there had been barely a handful of visitors, and one could walk around with ease.
This visit was entirely different and magical in its own way. I loved how the rich colors of the glass came through better in the dim light, giving the space a more contemplative and peaceful mood. The number of visitors on the other hand, was indeed a surprise! You can see that the entire tiny space of this beloved jewel of French Medieval architecture is filled with people, many of whose faces were, like mine, tilted upwards to marvel at the sight.
There were a few attendants regularly asking the crowd to be silent so that this breathtakingly beautiful and delicate work of art could be enjoyed in the mood it was intended to be experienced. There would be a wave of voices: excited voices and whispers, that turned into a veritable din, then there would be a hushed silence for a few moments....until people's enthusiasm for the beauty took them over and once again the place would explode in a wave of intense sound, then silence again as the attendants asked for quiet. The enthusiasm and awe were palpable.
Altogether a mesmerizing and awesome masterpiece of High Gothic Medieval art. Unique because the entire chapel -- of which this is one corner -- is almost entirely made of glass, with hardly any masonry to hold up these sheets of color and light, made of 100's of 1000's of bits of gorgeous color that surround one completely with their beauty.

A "Alegoria Eucarística", painel de azulejos policromados executado em Lisboa por volta de 1660 para o extinto Convento de Sant'Ana e atualmente parte da coleção do Museu Nacional do Azulejo (inv. 161 Az), ilustra a devoção eucarística característica da Contrarreforma. A composição central apresenta um cálice e uma custódia radiante contendo a hóstia consagrada, ladeados por anjos adoradores, numa representação simbólica da presença real de Cristo na Eucaristia, como reforça a inscrição "Louvado seja o Santíssimo Sacramento". A técnica utilizada, típica da azulejaria seiscentista portuguesa, emprega tons de azul, amarelo e branco, com uma moldura decorativa de motivos vegetalistas. Esta iconografia, comum em espaços conventuais da época, reflete a intensificação do culto eucarístico promovida pelo movimento da Contrarreforma. A peça constitui um testemunho relevante da produção cerâmica lisboeta do século XVII.
The “Eucharistic Allegory”, a polychrome tile panel made in Lisbon around 1660 for the now-defunct Convent of Sant'Ana and currently part of the collection of the National Tile Museum (inv. 161 Az), illustrates the Eucharistic devotion characteristic of the Counter-Reformation. The central composition features a chalice and a radiant monstrance containing the consecrated host, flanked by adoring angels, in a symbolic representation of the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, as reinforced by the inscription “Praised be the Blessed Sacrament”. The technique used, typical of Portuguese 17th century tiles, uses shades of blue, yellow and white, with a decorative frame of plant motifs. This iconography, common in convent spaces at the time, reflects the intensification of Eucharistic worship promoted by the Counter-Reformation movement. The piece is an important testimony to Lisbon's ceramic production in the 17th century.
Consecrated by the most powerful of the medieval popes, Innocent III, in 1198, the cathedral has several unusual features. The Renaissance portico incorporates two pulpits; four rose windows and four circular emblems of the Evangelists adorn its facade, surrounding a gold-ground Byzantine-style mosaic of Christ Enthroned with Mary and John the Baptist.
The lower middle 'rosone' is an exceptional example of the Cosmatesque work imported from Rome - stone or enamel chips in sinuous patterns.

High about the medieval town on the Eichberg recumbent ones, to holy Nicholas of Myra consecrated church is to be added to the brick Romanesque and is dated on the beginning of the 13th century, because on the one hand the place Mölln after the list of the Ratzeburger chapter still about 1194 to the parish belonged to Breitenfelde, is mentioned but then already in the Ratzeburger tenth register of 1230 even as a place with a church.
The church was built as a Late-Romanesque pillar basilica. Model for this church construction the basilica old brim might have been. The choral space was supposed around 1217 was ready when the bishop from Ratzeburg held here the first synod.
In the second half of the 15th century the church received important rebuildings: In 1470/71 the south ship was extended Gothic, grown in 1497 to the east to this the today's baptistry and the originally double-storied sacristy. On the north side of the nave a chapel consecrated to the holy Jobst was grown. In 1896 the church was radically redeveloped. Besides, the Jobstkapelle and the upper floor of the sacristy were torn off, partly because of dilapidation, partly to restore the basilikalen overall impression. The south ship received a new roof with three saddle roofs, and the painting was restored inside partly, was explained partly anew in the style of the new Gothic. Most neo-Gothic paintings were removed in 1959 again.
Consecrated in 1854, All Saints’ Anglican Church is oldest surviving church in Mount Pleasant just outside of Brantford, Ontario, Canada. It is of the Gothic-vernacular style architecture, typical of early Upper Canadian church architecture. Vernacular architecture relies on the local resources and skills available. In the case of this church, local parishioners helped to build the church with whatever construction skills they possessed, using lumber milled on the Ferris farm nearby.
All Saints’ Anglican Church is a single detached building with a rectangular plan and single centre inset tower. This tower is square shaped with finials on top of all four corners, features that resemble an English parish church. The main entrance is on the gable façade and consists of centre double doors. The church has a medium pitched roof and is made of horizontal vinyl siding. The church’s Gothic features include centre pointed Gothic windows and a unique Gothic transom above the main entryway. The trim on the roof features eaves with return. Stained glass windows are present that were first added in 1908.
The interior of the church has original oak furnishings including oak pews. There are pine floor boards and an altar, both of which are also original features.

Carrick Parish church - Limavady
Carrick, "the rock", is a small parish south of Limavady on the Dungiven road. The church which is pleasantly situated on the banks of the River Roe amongst trees, is a beautiful but simple little building. It was built in 1846, and consecrated on 25th May 1847.
An attempt to illustrate two related definitions, from the 1913 Webster's Unabridged Dictionary. (Yes, there is an Easy Street in Aiken, SC!) The next photo on this photostream served as the background for this poster.
Holiness, it said, is the state or quality of being holy; perfect moral integrity or purity, freedom from sin; sanctity; innocence, and the state of being hallowed, or consecrated to God.
Sanctification is being made holy, or set apart.
We can't achieve perfection in this life -- we will make mistakes -- except that we can have perfect motives, God helping us.

Mosfellskirkja (Mosfell Church) is located in historic Mosfellsdal (Mosfell Valley) and was constructed and consecrated on April 4, 1965 . Mosfell church was the gift of Stefán Þorláksson, a man who belevie the best use for his fortune was to build a church. The church is located near the site of several historic Churches build in the early days of Iceland.
Mosfellsdal was the location of early Viking settlements and farms. The valley is featured in historical writings of the12th and 13th century.
Writings such as Egil’s Saga, Gunnlaug’s Saga and Hallfred’s Saga and well as the information held in the Book of the Icelanders (Islendingabók) touch on the people who lived here. Some of the famous stories from the valley are the death scene of Egil Skallagrimson and a murder described in The Saga of Gunlaug Serpent-Tongue. Egill Skallagrímsson was a Viking poet and warrior who is supposedly buried in the valley along with his silver treasure.The writings mention an early church in the valley at Hrísbrú on Grím’s farmstead and how it was later pulled down in order to be moved. In the last 50 years archaeologists have succeeded in not only excavating the first church, but also the second, rebuilt church, located 500 m to the east. These archeological areas lie nearby the present day church.
The farm where Mosfellskirkja (Mosfell Church)is located was the boyhood home of Nobel Prize winner Halldór Laxness. He is the only Icelander to ever win the Noble Prize. In his later years, the author wrote the book úninu heima (Home in the Hayfield), in which he described his childhood experiences at his home in the Mosfellsdalur (Mosfell Valley).

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 church was consecrated on 6 December 1329, after the consecration of the cemetery and the altars. The church factory continued throughout the 14th and 15th centuries, and the construction phases are reconstructed through the church registers with the entrances and exits and which are located in the archives of the State of Verona. It is known that between 1341 and 1342 three altars were built and consecrated: the altar of the Holy Face, of Saint George and of Saint Mary Magdalene, while between 1343 and 1345 the bell tower was built, whose bell was bought in 1348 to Venice.
Церковь была освящена 6 декабря 1329 года, после освящения кладбища и алтарей. Церковная фабрика продолжалась в течение 14 и 15 веков, а этапы строительства восстанавливаются через церковные регистры с входами и выходами, которые находятся в архивах штата Верона. Известно, что между 1341 и 1342 годами были построены и освящены три алтаря: алтарь Святого Лица, Святого Георгия и Святой Марии Магдалины, а между 1343 и 1345 годами была построена колокольня, колокол которой был куплен в 1348 году.

Palatine Chapel, Aachen, begun c. 792, consecrated 805 (thought to have been designed by Odo of Metz), significant changes to the architectural fabric 14–17th centuries (Gothic apse, c. 1355; dome rebuilt and raised in the 17th century, etc), mosaics and revetment scream 19th century, and are indeed 19th century, columns were looted by French troops in the 18th century though many were later returned, they were added back without knowledge as to their original locations in the 19th century. Finally, the structure was also heavily damaged by allied bombing during WWII and significantly restored again in the second half of the twentieth century.
In 1508 the parish church was consecrated to the Virgin´s Assumption.
The mainly Gothic church first appeared in historical documents in 1111. The foundation of the original church (made of wood) was not documented.
In 1128 the church was consecrated by the Bishop of Passau. The wooden church was replaced by a stone building and only after the Bohemian Wars the Gothic-style nave was added. The church´s most characteristic features are the hall featuring three naves and the outstanding rib vault built in 1508.
Churches like this church can be found in many places in Mühlviertel, the region between Linz and Czech border.
St.Peter`s Church in Malmö
Was probably founded at the beginning of the 14th century.Although no documents bearing this out exist tuday,we do know that when the Chorch was first mentioned in 1346 it had alredy been consecrated for divine worship. It was dedicated to St.Peter and St.Paul.
St.Peter`s Church has a triple-aisled nave with transept and ambulatory.All of it is built in the so called Baltic Gotihic style. Its closest prototype would appear to be St.Mary`s Church at Lubeck.The exterior of the Church is distinguished by its flying buttresses and elegant arches soaring over aisle and ambulatory alike.The tower was given its present apperarance in 1890.Grouped around the main building are several additional erections.To the north of the tower lies the Baptistery or Merchant`s chapel (Krämarekapellet),beloning to the 15th century.To the south lies St.Anna`s chapel,built around 1500 and dedicated to the mother of the blessed Virgin Mary.

The Norwegian Church Arts Centre is a point of cultural and historical interest located in Cardiff Bay (Tiger Bay), Wales. It was a Lutheran Church, consecrated in 1868. Under the patronage of The Norwegian Seamen's Mission provided home comforts, communication with family and a place of worship for Scandinavian sailors and the Norwegian community in Cardiff for over a hundred years.
The church had become a home away from home for the sailors during World War II as they weren't able to go back to Norway due to Nazi occupation.
Even pre-World War I, coal exports from Cardiff were in decline. Post World War II, shipping trade had moved from Cardiff, and in 1959 the mission's work was discontinued. In the early 1960s, the Norwegian Seamen's Mission withdrew its patronage, and the last seaman's priest Per Konrad Hansen was withdrawn. The residual congregation and other Lutheran organisations funded its continued use by the resident expatriate Norwegian community. It was closed and de-consecrated in 1974
The building is now used as an arts centre, and is known as the Norwegian Church Arts Centre. The centre includes a café and an art gallery. In May 2011 the church underwent a £500,000 refurbishment, including a new outdoor terrace and a DDA compliant lift. The Greig room hosts a diversity of local arts and culture
Il Norwegian Church Arts Centre è un punto di interesse culturale e storico situato a Cardiff Bay (Tiger Bay), nel Galles. È stata una chiesa luterana consacrata nel 1868. Sotto il patrocinio della missione dei marinai norvegesi, per oltre un centinaio di anni sono stati forniti comodità domestiche, comunicazione con la famiglia e un luogo di culto per i marinai scandinavi e la comunità norvegese a Cardiff.
La chiesa era diventata una casa lontana da casa per i marinai durante la seconda guerra mondiale poiché non erano in grado di tornare in Norvegia a causa dell'occupazione nazista.
Precedentemente alla prima guerra mondiale le esportazioni di carbone da Cardiff erano in declino. Dopo la seconda guerra mondiale, il trasporto marittimo veniva trasferito da Cardiff, e nel 1959 il lavoro della missione venne interrotto. All'inizio degli anni Sessanta, la Missione marittima norvegese ritirò il suo patrocinio e fu ritirato l'ultimo sacerdote del marinaio Per Konrad Hansen. La congregazione residua e altre organizzazioni luterane hanno finanziato il suo continuo utilizzo da parte della comunità norvegese residente espatriata residente. E 'stato chiuso e de-consacrato nel 1974
L'edificio è ora utilizzato come centro di arti e è conosciuto come il Centro di Arti della Chiesa norvegese. Il centro comprende una caffetteria e una galleria d'arte. Nel maggio 2011 la chiesa è stata sottoposta a un rinnovo di 500.000 sterline, inclusa una nuova terrazza all'aperto e un ascensore conforme alla DDA. La sala Greig ospita una varietà di arte e cultura locali.
