The Holy Isle (Scottish Gaelic: Eilean MoLaise) is one of a number of islands in the United Kingdom which go under the name "Holy Island". It is located in the Firth of Clyde off the west coast of central Scotland, inside Lamlash Bay on the larger island of Arran. The island is around 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) long and around 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) wide. Its highest point is the hill Mullach Mòr.
The island has a long history as a sacred site, with a spring or holy well held to have healing properties, the hermit cave of 6th century monk St Molaise, and evidence of a 13th-century monastery. An old Gaelic name for the island was Eilean MoLaise, Molaise's Island; this is the origin (via Elmolaise and Limolas) of "Lamlash", the name of the village on Arran that faces Holy Island.
Some runic writing is to be found on the roof of St Molaise's cave and a Viking fleet sheltered between Arran and Holy Isle before the Battle of Largs.
In 1549, Dean Monro wrote of the "little ile callit the yle of Molass, quherin there was foundit by Johne, Lord of the iles, ane monastry of friars, which is decayit."[10]
Cross near the river Istra (Jordan) 20m from the temple. New Jerusalem, Moscow region. Russia.
Many archaeological finds confirm the use of the symbols of the cross from the most ancient times. Among the ancient Egyptians, the sign with the ring ☥ (Ankh) denoted life and the gods. In Assyria, more than three thousand years ago, a circle with two intersecting lines was one of the symbols of the sun god.
The cult of the cross in Christianity originated from the crucifixion of Jesus Christ (in those days it was a very common method of death penalty). The English word cross itself comes from the Latin "crux", which means "gallows, tree, instrument of execution." Now the cross of Christ is the main symbol of Christianity, a sign of Christ's victory over death. This cross is a symbol of God's sacrificial love for people.

I'm not religious, but I like to photograph architecture, Holy Sunday chapel, Vatika, Laconia, Greece
Such an lovely and iconic Tacoma view that we have come to know and love. It is visable in many directions. Unfortunately, it is unsafe (they say) and needs a very expensive upgrade. The funds are not secured yet and the church is closed. I don't think the steeple is lit at night anymore either. Prayers for them getting the funding!
It was a fun one to shoot from the back side, off of 34th street, with the 100-400 S and polarizer.
Thank you for your warm and kind words, and comments on a cold March day in the NW. You are all very much appreciated!

CASTLE STALKER,where many scenes from Monty Python's "Monty Python and the Holy Grail " were filmed
King Arthur: I am your king.
Peasant Woman: Well, I didn't vote for you.
King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.
Peasant Woman: Well, how'd you become king, then?
[Angelic music plays... ]
King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king.
Dennis the Peasant: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Arthur: Be quiet!
Dennis the Peasant: You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
Arthur: Shut up
Dennis the Peasant: I mean, if I went around saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
Arthur: [grabs Dennis] Shut up! Will you shut up?!
Dennis: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system!
Arthur: [shakes Dennis] Shut up!
Dennis: Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help, I'm being repressed!
Arthur: Bloody Peasant!
Dennis: Ooh, what a giveaway!
Holy Trinity Monastery sits atop the highest pinnacle in Meteora. Meteora, Greece is a town in a valley of the Pindos Mountains in the Thessaly region. The dominant feature of the valley are the immense pillars of rock that were formed by eons of geologic activity and weather. Monks began to seek solitude and refuge in the many caves among the pillars from the 9th century. Eventually they formed communities and later monasteries atop the pinnacles. There are currently six monasteries preserved and ruins of another 18. Only a handful of monks and an order of nuns at St. Stephen still live there. The area was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988.
