The Divinity School is a medieval building and room in the Perpendicular style in Oxford, England, part of the University of Oxford. Built between 1427 and 1483, it is the oldest surviving purpose-built building for university use, specifically for lectures, oral exams and discussions on theology. It is no longer used for this purpose, although Oxford does offer degrees in Theology and Religion taught by its Faculty of Theology and Religion.
The ceiling consists of very elaborate lierne vaulting with bosses (455 of them), designed by William Orchard in the 1480s.
The building is physically attached to the Bodleian Library (with Duke Humfrey's Library on the first floor above it), and is opposite the Sheldonian Theatre where students matriculate and graduate. At the far end from the Bodleian Library entrance, a door leads to Convocation House (built 1634–7).[1]

Fan vaults differ from earlier vaulting in not comprising ribs and infilling, but rather halved concave cones with blind tracery carved on their surfaces. The Divinity School in Oxford has one of the finest fan vaults in the world, created by William Orchard, c.1480.
Students at the Divinity School were among the first at Duke to push for desegregation. In 1948, many of them signed this petition asking the administration of the Divinity School to desegregate. This began the 15 year path to desegregation in the university.

In every breath, a universe unfolds,
Each atom a testament, ancient and bold.
In rivers that flow, in mountains that rise,
The divine essence, a silent guise.
From the flutter of wings to the stars' dance above,
All intertwined in a tapestry of love.

A few months ago my mom challenged me to make divinity; she remembered how her mom used to make it when she was little. I finally gave it a go today. Apparently it's supposed to be sunny with low humidity to make divinity and today seemed perfect.
But did it work out like I planned? Let's just say that they look pretty and they taste nice (like marshmallows, actually) but they are all sticking to the wax paper and turn into a gooey mess when I try to take them off!
I didn't have enough cherries to put on top of all of them. And do you see the big globby messes in the top left of the photo? That was before I put the whole mass of divinity into a pastry bag and started piping them out - it was much easier than using a spoon.
This is the Kuan Yin Temple (观音亭) located at Banting, Selangor of Malaysia. It was a cloudy evening and right before it rains I captured these shots with an under-exposed and customized picture profile, I am glad they bring out some gloomy and spooky mood.

Small figures of bishops and kings inhabit little niches in the pendants of the vaulting in Oxford's Divinity School. Perhaps this vault is a reminder of Christ's words: "In my Father's house there are many mansions", whereby the vault represents heaven (i.e., God's 'habitation') and the little niches are the mansions of heaven...

Renowned as being one of the most beautiful buildings in Oxford, the Divinity School is the oldest surviving medieval building built separately (c.1427-83) in connection with the University. It was constructed for lectures and disputations in theology, the "Queen of the sciences".
“Although they represent a variety of faith traditions, our students have a single goal: to do their part to make the world a better place.” —Vanderbilt Divinity School Dean James Hudnut-Beumler
