The graceful radiance of that of which is in front of everyone, every day and are unaware of its presence.
Is it too much effort to take some time, even a short amount of time, to get on our knees, with the sun on our face, and look upon the vast micro landscape with a child's like imagination and be absorbed into the grand beauty of it all? It is the "small" things that will change your life, when willing to see their greatness and value.
I bet anyone of us can drive down a street at anytime and see someone spraying death upon these so called weeds without a thought of its consequences and the potential loss of seeing something of value.
I know dandelions can be a nuisance at times, however there is almost always some beauty in that which many of us consider unworthy - if we chose to view it in a different light.

Well she's all you'd ever want
She's the kind I'd like to flaunt and take to dinner
Well she always knows her place
She's got style, she's got grace, she's a winner
She's a lady
Whoa whoa whoa
She's a lady
Talkin' about that little lady, and the lady is mine
Well she's never in the way
Always something nice to say, oh what a blessing
I can leave her on her own
Knowing she's okay alone, and there's no messing
She's a lady
Whoa whoa whoa
She's a lady
Talkin' about that little lady, and the lady is mine
Well she never asks for very much and I don't refuse her
Always treat her with respect, I never would abuse her
What she's got is hard to find, and I don't want to lose her
Help me build a mountain from my little pile of clay
Hey, hey, hey
Well she knows what I'm about
She can take what I dish out, and that's not easy
Well she knows me through and through
She knows just what to do, and how to please me
She's a lady
Whoa whoa whoa
She's a lady
Talkin' about the little lady, and the lady is mine
Yeah yeah
She's a lady
Listen to me baby
She's a lady
Whoa whoa whoa
She's a lady
And the lady is mine
Yeah yeah yeah
She's a lady
Talkin' about this little lady
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
She's a lady
She's a lady
I can't live without that little lady
She's a lady

Excerpt from temple.bongeunsa.org/public_html_en/intro/buddhist.asp:
Panjeon (Tripitaka Hall)
Panjeon was built in 1855 by the Venerable Yeonggi and a great scholar and calligrapher Kim Jeong-hee whose pen name was Chusa to preserve the wooden blocks of the 81 volumes of the Avatamsaka Sutra. Added later were the wooden blocks of the Vimalakirti Sutra, the Collection of Poems written by hermit Hansanja, the Initial Self-Discipline by monk Jinul and the printing of Sakyamuni Buddha's feet among others. Currently 3,438 wooden blocks are well kept in this hall. This is the oldest building in the Bongeunsa Temple where the Vairocana Buddha is enshrined. The hanging board of Panjeon and the wooden blocks of the Avatamsaka Sutra have been designated as the Tangible Cultural Property No. 83 and No. 84 of the Seoul City. The hanging board features the last work of Chusa Kim Jeong-hee as a calligrapher of the Joseon Dynasty.
Excerpt from www.stationfixation.com/2015/02/college.html:
The critics have never been kind to Charles Pachter’s Hockey Knights in Canada, Les Rois de l’Arène. His two large enamel murals, located on opposing sides of the subway platform at College station, depict the long-standing sporting rivalry between the Montreal Canadiens and the home-town Toronto Maple Leafs. The murals represent (in Pachter’s words), “a distillation of Canada’s two founding cultures.” Maple Leaf Gardens, the Leafs’ former arena, stands a short block east of the station.
Writing for the Star, Christopher Hume opined that the piece “lacks the presence needed to fill the cavernous and sterile station [...] More than anything, it looks like a kiddie cartoon strip blown up to massive proportions.” Hume later wrote, “Despite good intentions, it was the ugliest thing to happen to the TTC since the Dundas station was reopened.”
In the Globe, John May lamented, “This may be art for the traveller with 30 seconds to kill while waiting for a train. But Pachter could have made those seconds count for more, had he made his reds, whites and blues punch harder against the boring locker-room esthetic beloved by the TTC’s station designers.”
More recently, artist Eldon Garnet assessed the work: “This shows the TTC’s conservatism when it comes to art. It’s an example of what we don’t want in the new subway and LRT stations. It doesn’t compete with the advertising on the walls.”
The $66,000 murals, unveiled by Pachter on April 14, 1985 in what he mischievously called the TTC’s “Sistine Basement”, were embroiled in several controversies beyond their aesthetic merits.
Harold Ballard, the Leafs’ cantankerous owner, rejected the use of the team insignia, as he objected to showing any Montreal players in the piece—notice the actual Maple Leafs name is missing from the jerseys. The standoff between Ballard and the TTC nearly led to a farcical courtroom lawsuit over copyrights.
The second issue arose from June Rowlands (then a TTC commissioner) and several Toronto aldermen, who insisted that the players be portrayed wearing helmets. Pachter obediently acceded, adding several protective headpieces to the design.
Finally, no public competition was ever held for the installation (in contrast to the Spadina line, where a wide-ranging invitational competition took place). Pachter conceived the idea, pitched it to Julian Porter, the TTC Chairman, and the contract was awarded summarily to the artist (along with a 2nd proposal for a mural at Dundas, which was ultimately never implemented). This prompted calls for TTC policy changes with regards to subway artwork.
“Charlie had a moral claim to the project...” said Porter, “because he came to us with the idea. It was his concept.”
Película cristiana "¿Quién es mi Señor?": El debate sobre el tema "¿Está inspirada por Dios la Biblia?"
Durante dos mil años, el mundo religioso se ha basado en lo que dijo el apóstol Pablo de que la Biblia fue inspirada por Dios, y siempre ha creído que "la Biblia es la palabra de Dios". y "la Biblia representa al Señor". ¿Son correctas estas ideas? ¡Este vídeo te revelará todas las respuestas!

Excerpt from www.hospitalitynet.org/announcement/41007033/the-pearle-h...:
The Pearle Hotel and Spa announced today it will open on Burlington's vibrant waterfront (3 Elizabeth Street) on November 1st, 2021.
The urban retreat just steps from Lake Ontario is designed by the award-winning design firm Studio Munge and emulates a modern lake house with elegant white oak panelling, tranquil views of the lake and the heart of downtown. Through thoughtful design, the 151 guest rooms and all public spaces reflect the richness of the changing Canadian seasons.
The luxurious, full-service spa is reminiscent of the arrival of spring, with a curated offering of rejuvenating treatments. Adjoining the spa, a Hammam steam room, an indoor swimming pool, and a state-of-the-art fitness facility adds to the guest experience.
The Pearle Hotel and Spa is home to two inventive, farm-driven dining options, with much of their offerings grown on Pearle Hospitality's own farm located 20 minutes down the road. Inspired by the vibrant, casual days of summer, The Pearle Hotel's restaurant Isabelle headed by Executive Chef Ben Heaton (formerly Patria, Mira, Byblos), has an expansive lakeside terrace with a weather-friendly patio destined to be a space for sharing and connecting with loved ones. The hotel will also house the fourth location of the popular Earth to Table: Bread Bar for high quality ingredient dishes and coffee with more casual cafe seating.
The hotel's exclusive event floor features elegantly designed event space totalling 10,000 square feet. With show stopping floor-to-ceiling windows, hand-blown fixtures by local artisans, and breathtaking lake views, The Pearle Hotel and Spa is the perfect venue for any event, from executive retreats to weddings — memorable moments are guaranteed.
The Pearle Hotel and Spa is inspired by the Ciancone family matriarch, grandmother Pearle, whose work ethic and spirit of hospitality remain deeply admired by her family today. Elegant and free of formality, The Pearle Hotel and Spa embodies and honours the founders' grandmother Pearle.

Versículos bíblicos como referencia
“Entonces, vosotros también debéis estar listos porque el Hijo del Hombre vendrá a la hora que menos lo penséis” (Mateo 24:44).
“Porque como el relámpago al fulgurar resplandece desde un extremo del cielo hasta el otro extremo del cielo, así será el Hijo del Hombre en su día. Pero primero es necesario que El padezca mucho y sea rechazado por esta generación” (Lucas 17:24-25).
“He aquí, vengo como ladrón. Bienaventurado el que vela y guarda sus ropas, no sea que ande desnudo y vean su vergüenza” (Apocalipsis 16:15).
“He aquí, yo estoy a la puerta y llamo; si alguno oye mi voz y abre la puerta, entraré a él, y cenaré con él y él conmigo” (Apocalipsis 3:20).
Las palabras relevantes de Dios
La aparición de Dios se refiere a Su llegada a la tierra para hacer Su obra en persona. Con Su propia identidad y carácter, y en la manera que es innata a Él, desciende entre la humanidad para llevar a cabo la obra de comenzar una era y terminar otra. Esta clase de aparición no es una especie de ceremonia. No es una señal, una imagen, un milagro o una especie de visión grandiosa y mucho menos una clase de proceso religioso. Es un hecho real y verdadero que cualquiera puede tocar y contemplar. Esta clase de aparición no es en aras de cumplir un trámite o de una labor a corto plazo, sino que es para una etapa en la obra de Su plan de gestión. La aparición de Dios siempre es significativa y siempre guarda relación con Su plan de gestión. A lo que se le llama “aparición” aquí es completamente diferente a la clase de “aparición” en la que Dios guía, lidera y esclarece al hombre. Cada vez que Él se revela, Él lleva a cabo una etapa de Su gran obra. Esta obra es diferente de la de cualquier otra era. El hombre no la puede imaginar y nunca la ha experimentado. Es una obra que da inicio a una nueva era y termina con la antigua, y es una forma nueva y mejorada de obrar para la salvación de la humanidad; más aún, es una obra que lleva a la humanidad a una nueva era. Esto es lo que significa la aparición de Dios.
Extracto de “La aparición de Dios ha dado lugar a una nueva era”
Jesús dijo que Él llegaría tal como se fue, pero ¿conoces el verdadero significado de Sus palabras? ¿Pudo realmente habérselo dicho a este grupo que formáis? Sólo sabes que Él llegará tal como se fue en una nube, pero ¿sabes exactamente cómo hace Su obra Dios mismo? Si de verdad fueras capaz de ver, entonces ¿cómo deben explicarse las palabras de Jesús? Él dijo: Cuando el Hijo del hombre venga en los últimos días, Él mismo no sabrá, los ángeles no sabrán, los mensajeros en el cielo no sabrán, y las personas no sabrán. Sólo el Padre sabrá, esto es, sólo el Espíritu sabrá. Ni siquiera el propio Hijo del hombre sabe, ¿y tú eres capaz de ver y saber? Si tú fueras capaz de saberlo y verlo con tus propios ojos, ¿acaso estas palabras no se habrán dicho en vano? ¿Y qué dijo Jesús en ese momento? “Pero de aquel día y hora nadie sabe, ni siquiera los ángeles del cielo, ni el Hijo, sino solo el Padre. Porque como en los días de Noé, así será la venida del Hijo del Hombre. […] Por eso, también vosotros estad preparados, porque a la hora que no pensáis vendrá el Hijo del Hombre”. Cuando llegue ese día, el Hijo del hombre no lo sabrá. El Hijo del hombre se refiere a la carne encarnada de Dios, una persona normal y corriente. Ni siquiera el propio Hijo del hombre lo sabe; así pues, ¿cómo podrías saberlo tú?
Extracto de “La visión de la obra de Dios (3)”
Esta vez, Dios viene a hacer la obra, no en un cuerpo espiritual, sino en uno muy corriente. Además, no sólo es el cuerpo de la segunda encarnación de Dios, sino también el cuerpo a través del cual Él regresa a la carne. Es una carne muy corriente. No puedes ver nada que lo haga resaltar entre los demás, pero puedes recibir de Él las verdades que nunca antes se han oído. Esta carne insignificante es la personificación de todas las palabras de la verdad de Dios, la que emprende Su obra en los últimos días y la que expresa todo el carácter de Dios para que el hombre lo entienda. ¿No deseas enormemente ver al Dios del cielo? ¿No deseas enormemente entender al Dios del cielo? ¿No deseas enormemente ver el destino de la humanidad? Él te contará todos estos secretos que ningún hombre ha sido capaz de contarte y Él te hablará también de las verdades que no entiendes. Él es tu puerta al reino y tu guía a la nueva era. Una carne tan corriente contiene muchos misterios insondables. Sus hechos pueden ser inescrutables para ti, pero el objetivo de toda la obra que Él realiza es suficiente para que veas que Él no es una simple carne como la gente cree. Porque Él representa la voluntad de Dios, así como el cuidado mostrado por Dios hacia la humanidad en los últimos días. Aunque no puedes oír las palabras que Él habla, que parecen sacudir los cielos y la tierra, ni ver Sus ojos como llamas abrasadoras, y aunque no puedes sentir la disciplina de Su vara de hierro, sí puedes oír de Sus palabras la furia de Dios y saber que Él muestra compasión por la humanidad; puedes ver Su carácter justo y Su sabiduría, y darte cuenta, además, de la preocupación que tiene por toda la humanidad. La obra de Dios en los últimos días consiste en permitirle al hombre ver al Dios del cielo vivir entre los hombres sobre la tierra y permitirles que lo conozcan, obedezcan, reverencien y amen. Por esta razón, Él ha regresado a la carne por segunda vez.

In October, 2007, my wife, Karen, and I took a cruise along the Rhine-Main-Danube Waterway. We commenced at Amsterdam and ended at Budapest. One afternoon we travelled the Romantic Rhine (also known as the Middle Rhine, Heroic Rhine, Rhine Gorge and Rhine Valley). The day was dull and misty, so it was hard to obtain crisp photos. To further aggravate the situation, I was taking photos on a moving boat with a hand-held Fuji Finepix Z1. When I arrived home and examined the images, I found them to be somewhat uninspiring. Using my experience with PhotoShop, I post-processed the pictures and uploaded them to flickr. They looked a lot better. Over the past six months, I’ve also worked on them with a number of other filters to give them a painterly feel.
They have been posted for sale on Imagekind, and I currently have a blog at Blogger.com that plays into my Imagekind page. I have also created accounts at Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Travelocity, Expedia, IGOUGO, Amazon, Chapters/Indigo, Shelfari, Dopplr, TripAdvisor, VirtualTourist, Driftr, TripSay, LonelyPlanet, Tripwolf, Gather, Simpy, Delicious, and some others I can’t remember. As time goes on, I will link everything to flickr, Imagekind and Blogger. In addition, I am going to take the marketing advice provided by Imagekind. Here’s the link:

I have a lot more of my German photos to post, and I also have a lot of abstracts to flog. About seven months ago, I mentioned that I was going to do more research on my Uncle Bill Watson. To do so, I will have to visit Archives Canada in Ottawa, The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Mount Hope and various sites in England and Wales. The results of this work will go to Blogger.
There will be other ventures as well. I am semi-retired, and I don’t want to sit around. My projects and the grandkids should keep me busy.
The interferon and rebetol are leaving Meg pretty exhausted. She had her first blood text since starting therapy for Hepatitis C, and the results are not what the doctor had hoped. Her white blood cell count is low as well. She is currently undergoing a twenty-four week course of chemo, but may be pushed into a forty-eight week course. Still, her spirits are high and she’s keeping busy.
Jess will deliver baby Will in about a month, so we’re gearing up for that.
I hope to visit you all some time next week. I don’t like to post pictures and not visit.

on my blog ΛΟΓΕΙΚΩΝ Logikon
Παναγία Πελεκητή: Η «βασίλισσα» των Αγράφων
Είναι ένα από τα μοναστήρια που ξεχωρίζουν. Το τοπίο, η αρχιτεκτονική του, η ιστορία του καθιστούν την Ιερά Μονή της Παναγίας Πελεκητής προσκυνηματικό κέντρο. Βρίσκεται κτισμένη πάνω από την τεχνητή λίμνη Πλαστήρα στην Καρδίτσα και υπάγεται διοικητικά στη Μητρόπολη Φαναριοφερσάλων. Σύμφωνα με τα τελευταία ιστορικά στοιχεία, κτίστηκε πριν από περίπου πέντε αιώνες σε μια απόκρημνη, βραχώδη πλαγιά των Αγράφων, σε υψόμετρο 1.400 μέτρων, βορειοδυτικά του χωριού Καρίτσα.
Η ιστορία της Ιεράς Μονής Παναγίας Πελεκητής έχει συνδεθεί με την πορεία της περιοχής, η οποία συμμετείχε σε όλους τους αγώνες του Έθνους. Κατά την επανάσταση του 1821 η Καρίτσα καταστράφηκε από τους Τούρκους, ενώ το 1943 από τους Γερμανούς. Οι μοναχοί της μονής ήταν εκ των πρωταγωνιστών κατά την απελευθέρωση της Καρίτσας από τους Τούρκους, δημιουργώντας μια διαφορετική σχέση με τους κατοίκους.
Από την ίδρυσή της η μονή δέσποζε στα εκκλησιαστικά πράγματα της περιοχής αφού είχε αναγνωριστεί ως σταυροπηγιακή το 1606 από τον Οικουμενικό Πατριάρχη Ραφαήλ Β΄.
Πελεκητή ονομάστηκε καθώς τα κελιά της δημιουργήθηκαν μέσα στους βράχους σε τέσσερα επίπεδα, όπου οι μοναχοί ζούσαν και λειτουργούσαν το μοναστήρι, ενώ υπήρχε ακόμη και κρυφό σχολειό.
Ο Πορφύριος
Όπως αναφέρει ο Φώτης Κερασιώτης, που έχει ασχοληθεί με την ιστορία της μονής, η ίδρυσή της άρχισε πιθανότατα στα τέλη του 15ου αιώνα από τον Πνευματικό Πορφύριο και ολοκληρώθηκε το 1529 στη σημερινή της μορφή από τον νέο Οσιομάρτυρα Δαμιανό, ο οποίος ιστορείται ως «κτήτωρ» σε δύο τοιχογραφίες της. Το μοναστήρι αγιογραφήθηκε στα μέσα του 17ου αιώνα και έχει δύο ναούς, τον Ναό της Αναλήψεως του Χριστού και τον Ναό της Παναγιάς Φανερωμένης (το Καθολικό).
Το Καθολικό είναι ο κεντρικός και αρχαιότερος ναός, αφιερωμένος στην Ανάληψη του Κυρίου. Είναι μονόκλιτη βασιλική με νάρθηκα, στεγασμένη με κυλινδρική καμάρα, με ενισχυτικό τόξο στο μέσο. Σύμφωνα με σχετική επιγραφή που υπάρχει εντός του ναού, αγιογραφήθηκε το 1654 από τους αγιογράφους Ιωάννη, Νικόλαο Ιερέα και Ιάκωβο Ιερομόναχο.
Ο δεύτερος ναός είναι αφιερωμένος στην Παναγία Φανερωμένη. Είναι αθωνικού ρυθμού, με τρούλο και πλευρικούς χορούς, χωρίς εσωτερικούς κίονες. Οι τοιχογραφίες, όπως προκύπτει από σχετική επιγραφή που υπάρχει επάνω από τη θύρα εισόδου, ιστορήθηκαν το 1666. Ανιστορήθηκαν το 1674 από τον αγιογράφο Ιάκωβο και τον γιο του Δημήτριο.
Γνωστή είναι η μικρή αλλά θαυματουργή εικόνα της Παναγίας Πελεκητής, στην οποία έχει ζωγραφιστεί η Παναγία με τον Χριστό στην αγκαλιά της. Η εικόνα δυστυχώς εκλάπη και αναζητείται για να επιστραφεί στη φυσική της θέση, το μοναστήρι. Ο Ευρυτάνας ιστορικός Πάνος Βασιλείου το 1929 έγραψε τα εξής: «Εκτός της αρίστης Βυζαντινής τέχνης σε τοιχογραφίες, υπάρχει εδώ μια εικόνα (ελαιογραφία 0,04Χ0,03) της Παναγίας με τον Χριστό στην αγκαλιά της, έργο Ραφαηλικής τέχνης. Δεν εξηγείται πώς η μικροσκοπική αυτή εικονίτσα, που θεωρείται και σαν παλαιότερη, αλλά θαυματουργός, βρέθηκε εδώ πάνω. Φέρει χρονολογία 1654.
Η τεχνοτροπία της θυμίζει τον Χριστό του Πρωτάτου του Αγίου Όρους, το γνωστό έργο του Πανσέληνου. Μάλιστα ήταν η εικονίτσα τούτη στολισμένη με 20 πολύτιμες πέτρες από τις οποίες οι 16 αφαιρέθηκαν από… αγνώστους, χωρίς φυσικά τούτου να σημειωθεί σε κανένα, ως τα σήμερα, αστυνομικό δελτίο. Μένουν ακόμα, ευτυχώς, 4 ερυθρόχρωμες πετρούλες στο επαργυρωμένο περίβλημά της που έχει μέγεθος 0,21Χ0,23 μ. και που φέρει επάνω του σκαλισμένα αγγελούδια. Μια απέραντη καλοσύνη ζωγραφίζεται στο χαμογελαστό πρόσωπο της Παναγίας, της οποίας το παιδάκι παρουσιάζει κάτι το αληθινά Θείο και αξιοθαύμαστο για τη χαρούμενη εκφραστικότητά του. Η θαυμάσια αυτή εικόνα της Παναγίας της Πελεκητής θυμίζει Αναγέννηση».
Το μοναστήρι λόγω της περίτεχνης κατασκευής του και της ένδοξης ιστορίας του έχει ανακηρυχθεί «Ιστορικό Διατηρητέο Μνημείο». Δυστυχώς, όμως, από τον πλούτο των εκκλησιαστικών κειμηλίων και της σπάνιας βιβλιοθήκης του ελάχιστα, σήμερα, διασώζονται.
Το μοναστήρι πανηγυρίζει στις 15 Αυγούστου, της Κοιμήσεως της Θεοτόκου. Τα τελευταία χρόνια, ύστερα από σημαντικές πρωτοβουλίες των τοπικών φορέων και άλλων παραγόντων, εξευρέθηκαν τα απαραίτητα χρηματικά ποσά και το μοναστήρι έχει ανακαινισθεί και αξιοποιηθεί, συγκεντρώνοντας πλήθος προσκυνητών από ολόκληρη την ελληνική επικράτεια.
Όταν οι μοναχοί μετακίνησαν τα σύνορα το 1831
Εντύπωση προκαλεί και το εξής περιστατικό: Μετά τη δημιουργία του ελληνικού Κράτους, το 1831, η Καρύτσα (είναι το χωριό κάτω από το μοναστήρι) και ο Μπελεκομύτης βρέθηκαν εκτός ελληνικών συνόρων γιατί καθορίστηκαν επί του Καρυτσιώτη ποταμού, ενώ αυτά τα δύο χωριά βρίσκονται μετά τον ποταμό. Τότε οι μοναχοί μαζί με τους κατοίκους των δύο χωριών μετακίνησαν αυθαίρετα τα σύνορα και τα τοποθέτησαν μετά το μοναστήρι, στο οροπέδιο του Καραμανώλη.
Panagia Pelekiti(rusticated): The "Queen" of Agrafa
It is one of the monasteries that stand out. The landscape, architecture, history make the Holy Monastery of Panayia Pelekiti a pilgrimage center. It is built above the artificial lake Plastira in Karditsa and is administratively subordinated to the Cathedral of Fanariers. According to the latest historical data, it was built about five centuries ago on a steep rocky slope of Agrafa, at an altitude of 1,400 meters, northwest of Karitsa village.
The history of the Holy Monastery of Panagia Pelekiti has been linked to the course of the region, which participated in all the struggles of the Nation. During the revolution of 1821 Karitsa was destroyed by the Turks, while in 1943 by the Germans. The monks of the monastery were among the protagonists in the liberation of Karitsa from the Turks, creating a different relationship with the inhabitants.
Since its founding, the monastery has dominated the ecclesiastical things of the region since it was recognized as a cruciform in 1606 by the Ecumenical Patriarch Raffael II.
Pelekiti was named as its cells were created in the rocks on four levels, where the monks lived and functioned the monastery, while there was even a hidden school.
Porphyrios
According to Fotis Kerassiotis, who has dealt with the history of the monastery, it was probably founded at the end of the 15th century by the Spiritual Porphyry and was completed in 1529 in its present form by the new Omar Martyr Damianos, who is described as a "builder" In two frescoes. The monastery was hagiographed in the middle of the 17th century and has two temples, the Church of the Ascension of Christ and the Church of Panagia Faneromeni (the Catholic).
The Katholikon is the central and most ancient temple, devoted to Ascension of the Lord. It is a one-aisled basilica with a narthex, sheltered by a cylindrical arch, with a reinforcement bow in the middle. According to a relevant inscription inside the temple, it was painted in 1654 by hagiographers Ioannis, Nicholas Priest and Iacob Ieromonas.
The second temple is dedicated to Panagia Faneromeni. It is of the Athonian style, with dome and side dances, without internal columns. The frescoes, as indicated by a relevant inscription above the entrance door, were discovered in 1666. They were painted in 1674 by the icon-painter Iakovos and his son Dimitrios.
Known is the small but miraculous icon of Panagia Pelekiti, in which the Virgin Mary is painted with Christ in her arms. The picture is unfortunately stolen and sought to be returned to its natural place, the monastery. Evrytanas historian Panos Vassiliou wrote in 1929: "In addition to the excellent Byzantine art in frescoes, there is an icon (oil painting 0,04x0,03) of the Virgin Mary with Christ in her arms, a work of Raphael art. It is not explained how this tiny icon, which is considered as an old but miraculous icon, was found here. It dates back to 1654.
The style reminiscent of the Christ of the Protaton of Mount Athos, the well-known work of the Full Moon. In fact, this icon was embellished with 20 precious stones, of which 16 were removed from ... strangers, of course not to mention to anyone, as today, a police record. There are still, fortunately, 4 red-colored petals in its silver-plated casing, which is 0.21 x 0.23 m in size and carved on it with carved angels. An immense kindness is painted on the smiling face of Our Lady, whose child presents something truly divine and admirable for his joyful expressiveness. This magnificent icon of Virgin Mary Pelekite reminds Renaissance. "
The monastery, due to its elaborate construction and its glorious history, has been declared "Historic Preserved Monument". Unfortunately, however, the wealth of ecclesiastical heirlooms and its rare library are scarcely preserved today.
The monastery celebrates on August 15, the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. In recent years, after significant initiatives by local actors and other actors, the necessary money has been found and the monastery has been renovated and exploited, gathering crowds of pilgrims from all over Greece.
When the monks moved the border in 1831
The following incident is also impressed: After the Greek State was founded in 1831, Karytsa (the village under the monastery) and Belekomytis were found outside the Greek border because they were established on the river Karytsiotis, and these two villages are afterwards River. Then the monks, along with the inhabitants of the two villages, arbitrarily moved the borders and placed them after the monastery, on the plateau of Karamanolis.
Excerpt from www.amo.gov.hk/en/historic-buildings/monuments/kowloon/mo...:
Kowloon Union Church, one of the earliest inter-denominational churches in Hong Kong, was built by the London Missionary Society with financial support from Sir Paul Chater. The foundation stone was laid on 27 May 1930 by the then Colonial Secretary, W.T. Southorn, and the church was officially opened on 10 April 1931 by the then Governor Sir William Peel. During the Japanese Occupation, the church ceased to function and the building was converted into a horse stable by the Japanese army and suffered severe looting and damage. The church was opened again for public worship with a rededication service held on 19 October 1947 and continues to serve the community until now.
The church possesses “Perpendicular Gothic” architectural features, with pitched Chinese-tiled roof, red load-bearing brick walls and contrasting grey granite steps and window surrounds. A semi-circular apse and an attached three-storey battlemented tower are built at the two ends of the church respectively.
The square battlemented tower with pointed arch doorway surround and foundation stone at the base is designed to serve as the main entrance to the church. It is of fair-face red brickwork with carved granite ornaments and trimmings. There is also a concrete flat roof topped with a crenelated low parapet wall.
The windows of the church are set in decorative granite framing in the form of trefoil-headed tracery. The window frames are of wrought-iron and there are angular carved hoods above the windows. The windows of top floor of the battlemented tower are with stone louvers. The elegant double hammer-beam timber roof trusses with carved granite corbel supports are a rare and dominant feature of the spacious interior of the main hall of the church.
Kowloon Union Church was declared a monument in 2017.

La Segunda venida de Cristo | Ya se han cumplido 7 profecías. ¿Has recibido el regreso del Señor?
Ahora es el final de los últimos días. Muchos hermanos y hermanas, que verdaderamente creen en el Señor y esperan que regrese, deben tener tales preguntas: Jesucristo ha dicho: "Y he aquí, yo vengo presto" (Apocalipsis 22:12). Él nos ha prometido que volverá. ¿Ya regresó? ¿Cómo podemos saber si ha regresado o no?
1. El amor de los creyentes se vuelve frío
Mateo 24:12 registra: "Y por haberse multiplicado la maldad, la caridad de muchos se resfriará". Hoy en día, en las denominaciones y religiones, los creyentes codician el mundo en general, y pocos se dedican a trabajar para el Señor. Algunos de ellos se dedican a negocios, otros están ocupados abriendo fábricas para ganar dinero. Además, los pastores y los ancianos se traman unos a otros, tienen celosas disputas entre ellos. Incluso forman facciones, roban ofrendas y cometen adulterio. Por lo tanto, los seguidores se vuelven cada vez más fríos en su fe y amor y las iglesias se vuelven más desoladas ahora.
