[ENG] The church of Bossost , dedicated to the invocation of the Mother of God of Purification, is one of the best preserved in the entire Val d'Aran region, and a clear example of the prototype of a Romanesque church of the valley (very horizontal buildings, with three naves and three semicircular apses and a very marked gable in the presbytery). It was built in the first half of the 13th century, and includes many foreign decorative elements: strips of blind semicircular arches in the bell tower and apses, or the small vertical lesenes (pilaster strip) on the outside of the apse, both typical of Lombard Romanesque, checkered jaques on the front and eaves… Outside the temple, the highlights are the bell tower, the head and its two façades.

This is the first photo from the new project I decided to call "The Idyll".
In recent months I've been looking for the best way to use Kodak Ektar. I think that after few trials I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of its potential.
Certainly it wouldn't be possible without inspiration. It all begun with the music of polish composer, Wojciech Kilar, who wrote music for such movies like The Pianist, The Ninth Gate and Dracula.
I hope that these photos will help me to explore a place of which existence I had a feeling for a long time.
Let me introduce it with "Invocation" by Wojciech Kilar from the Pan Tadeusz movie.

Invocation is a form of prayer invoking God's presence, especially one said at the beginning of a religious service or public ceremony.
The collegiate church of the parish church district under the invocation of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour and St Mary Magdalene is one of the most exquisite examples of Baroque architecture in Poland. It was built by the Jesuits. The work started in 1649 and was interrupted several times until it was finished over 50 years later.
The work was begun by Thomas Poncino and after several years' break it was continued in 1678 by the collegiate rector and a prominent theoretician of architecture, Bartłomiej Nataniel Wąsowski. It is to him that the church owes its present look. Using already existing walls, he elaborated a new design for the church and proceeded to execute it. The construction was halted by Wąsowski's death in 1887. It was resumed by Giovanni Catenazzi in 1697-1701.
Although the church was consecrated in 1705, it got its final form only between 1727-32. After the closure of the Jesuit Order in 1773, the church took over from the destroyed St Mary Magdalene collegiate becoming the city Parish Church in 1798.
Between 1945-56, during the reconstruction of the Cathedral, the church performed the function of the procathedral. In recent years it has been going through general renovation works. The facade is a work of Giovanni Catenazzi; the main portal was designed by Pompeo Ferrari. In the niche above the entrance there is a statue of St Francis Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit Order.
The three - nave interior is of an awe - inspiring size. It is 55 metres long and 34 metres wide, and the height of the main nave is 27 metres. The interior is extremely rich. No other Polish church represents on such a grand scale the expressive power of the Roman Baroque, deservedly known as "triumphant".
On both sides of the main nave there are 16 massive columns made of imitation marble. Over their capitals there are 12 statues of the apostles. The chancel and the main nave are adorned with early 18th century polychromy by Karol Dankwart. The stuccos from the same period were made by Wojciech Bianco. The pseudo - dome over the crossing square is covered with paintings by Stanisław Wróblewski from 1949.
The high altar was designed by Pompeo Ferrari. It features a painting showing bishop Stanislaus bringing back to life Piotrowin, painted in 1756 by Szymon Czechowicz. It is flanked by two huge sculptures - on the right that of St Stanislaus Kostka, on the left that of St Stanislaus the Bishop. The two large altars closing the transverse nave were modelled on the St Anthony Gonzaga altar designed by Andrea Pozzo from the Roman church of St Ignatius.
In the lower, side naves with cross vaulting there are 10 smaller altars. On one of them there is a Gothic statue of Lashed Jesus dating from around 1430, which was transferred here from the former collegiate church of St Mary Magdalene. The organ was made in 1876 by the famous Friedrich Ladegast of Weissenfelds. The largest of the 2579 pipes are 6 metres long. The church often holds organ music concerts.
A plaque from 1996 is devoted to the memory of Father Jakub Wujek (1541-97) - founder and the first rector of the Jesuit College in Poznań, author of the first translation of the Bible into the Polish language. In the chapel situated at the end of the west nave there is a replica (from 1952) of an icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, crowned with Papal crowns in 1961. It was the first coronation of a Virgin Mary image in Poland after WWII. Between the two world wars the extensive cellars under the church were used for storing barrels with wine, among other things.
An explanation of how advancements in technology correlate to the unique spiritual knowledge laid before humanity by Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi.
Main points:
⁃Thanks to advancements in technology, we are now aware that through devices like the iPhone, images, audio files and video files can be transferred wirelessly over long distances. Therefore it is not difficult for us to understand that God’s image and voice can also be transferred from the heart of a spiritual guide to the heart of a disciple.
⁃Science is the evolution of discovery. The more you ponder, the more your discover. This spiritual knowledge is not new, it was just hidden. It always existed in the higher realms but when we say ‘this knowledge has been granted,’ what it means is that this knowledge is newly disclosed.
⁃When Lord Ra Riaz spoke of Invocation of the Heart, people asked how a fleshy heart could repeat God’s name. Lord Ra Riaz replied, ‘The tongue is also a piece of flesh; how does it say God’s name?’ Lord Ra Riaz explained that there is a soul with the help of which the tongue is able to speak. In a similar way, there is a soul that sits on the fleshy heart; when it is awakened, one of its spiritual functions is that it enables someone to communicate with God.
⁃Knowledge of spirituality became extinct. Spiritual knowledge used to be projected by saints, however, for the past 400 years, no true saint of God came on Earth. Lord Ra Riaz gave a complete introduction to spirituality. The way He explains spirituality is so easy to understand that both people who are schooled and people who are unschooled will understand it equally. Furthermore, when Lord Ra Riaz speaks, divine energy is mixed with His words. His words hit the heart. Like pouring water to a jug, the meaning of the words that He speaks is poured into your heart.
⁃God created the phenomenal world to tell us that the inner exists. Advancements in technology serve as examples so that people can easily accept the spiritual knowledge revealed by Lord Ra Riaz.

A second version of a fast sketch for an idea that deserved a more careful treatment. Still it does, anyway, but I may be getting closer. This remake has taken a while, trying to figure out how to disfigure and meld all the carnal elements of the mix. I like that now, specially if zooming into the details, but the overall composition and structure of the illustration is still wrong. And the guy is terrible. But lets finish the damn thing. It´s a wrap!
Narrated Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him): 'Once I was behind the Prophet (peace be upon him) and he said: 'O boy, I will teach you a few words:
Be loyal and obedient to Allah, remember Him always, obey His Orders. He will save you from every evil and will take care of you in all spheres of life.
Be loyal and obedient to Allah, you will find Him Near
If you ask, ask Allah
If you seek help, seek help from Allah
Know that if all the people get together in order to benefit you with something, they will not be able to benefit you in anything except what Allah had decreed for you. And if they all get together in order to harm you with something, they will no be able to harm you in anything except what Allah has decreed for you.
The pens have stopped writings. And the ink is over.''
-Tirmithi
Whatever Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was not from his own self. Everything was revealed to him by Allah. 'If you ask, ask Allah...' Anytime, Anywhere, Allah will be Listening. And Hearing our calls. Do I need anyone more?

En la parte superior destaca la franja de arquillos ciegos, en los muros las pequeñas lesenas que rompen la horizontalidad, ambas de influencia del románico lombardo. En los tres ábsides hay una ventana pequeña en forma de aspillera con decoración en el extradós de los arcos consistente en franjas con formas geométricas. En el ábside norte, durante la última restauración se han sustituido los sillares originales por otros de aspecto muy moderno. En el hastial del presbiterio destacan una espadaña de un vano y cinco óculos, tres que iluminan la nave central y los otros cada una de las naves.

Properties of the number 13
The apostle James says the Minor directed the Church of Jerusalem during thirteen years.
The thirteen ecclesiastical titles of the sacerdotal hierarchy of the Roman Church.
The father of Job had thirteen children, according to visions' of Ann-Catherine Emmerick
.
The celebration of the Epiphany takes place the thirteenth day after the nativity of the Lord. The number 13 is called theophanicus for this reason.
We find often the number thirteen associated with the Blessed Virgin Mary. Her Assumption occurred a Friday 13, in August, at 3 o'clock of the evening, according to visions of Mary Agreda. However, according to revelations of Mary Jane Even in 1994, the Virgin would have died on August 13 and would have resuscitated two days later, that is to say on August 15 to be then received Body and Soul in the Sky. Also, the first and the last appearance of the Virgin Mary in Fatima occurred respectively on May 13 and on October 13, 1917 and it is on July 13, 1917 that the children of Fatima had their vision of the Hell, showing thus that the thirteen is also closely in relation to the suffering and to the death. Still today, in the end of time, the Virgin appears to some seers and clairvoyant only the 13 of each month. The 13th day of the month in the Christendom would be thus particularly dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Moreover several received particular messages tend to show it as it is the case of following messages. In one of messages given to a privileged soul of Quebec, Our-Lord recommended that the 13 of each month is in the honor of his Mother and established in each family. In another message given by the Virgin Mary to Sister Lucy of Fatima the 1st May 1987 for the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the day when she appeared her to Fatima on May 13, 1917, She asked her to celebrate the 13 of each month by songs and the praises in spirit of repair and of expiation. Remind also that it is on May 13, 1981 that occurred the attack of the Pope John-Paul II, in the Saint-Peter place. What saved him from the death, it is that he turned the head to look an engraving of Our-Lady of Fatima at the same moment where the ball of the gunner passed. The France, devoted to Mary since Louis XIII, celebrated her by processions.
According to visions of Maria Valtorta, during the descent of the Holy Spirit on apostles in prayer in the upper room (Cenacle), the Fire of the Holy Spirit, then in form of sphere very shining above the head of Mary, was shared in 13 very shining melodious flames to go down on the 12 apostles and the Virgin Mary.
The value of the letter M of Mary, center of the Latin alphabet, is 13. Likewise 13 words compose the invocation to the Virgin on the Miraculous Medal: O Mary, conceive without sin, pray for we who have recourse to you.
For believer, Friday 13 (of the month of nisan) is the day where the Christ is dead on the Cross; it is also a Friday 13, day placed under the sign of Venus, that Eve, tempted by the demon, made eat an apple to Adam, what entailed their expulsion of the terrestrial Paradise. God being indeed rested the seventh day of the Creation, first Saturday (Sabbath of the Jews) was this day. The next week there had therefore a Friday 13, day of the original sin, since they was redeemed an other Friday 13, that the death of the Christ. Particularly the Jewish Passover was the 14 of the month of nisan, and the Crucifixion took place the day before the Sabbath of Passover, therefore a Friday 13.
In the visions of Maria Valtorta, Jesus speaks about the thirteen veins of the humanity by which are distributed the divine graces, first by Himself, and then by His 12 apostles, choose by Him to represent the whole humanity and in which all the humanity is gathered in His 12 apostles.
Some authors tell that Jesus would be born in a year counting thirteen months. When Hebrews celebrated their first Passover, they abandoned the solar Egyptian calendar and adopted the lunar calendar. Thus, to maintain the correspondence between the month of Pescha and the beginning of the spring, they had to introduce all the three years approximately a thirteenth month into the year.
On the Miraculous Medal, the M of Mary surmounts the Holy Cross of Christ, this one being associated to the number 13. And the letter M is also 13th letter of the alphabet.
The 13th glorious mystery of the Saint Rosary refers directly to Pentecost.
According to the Rule in the Order of the Saint Saviour, given by the Christ to saint Brigitte of Sweden (who lived from 1303 to 1373), in the monastery, thirteen priests have to sing daily the mass and the office of the ecclesiastical year.
The Jewish Faith states thirteen articles that are called fundamental dogmas of the Judaism. They were formulated by Maimonid.
The Witnesses of Jehovah have 13 fundamental doctrines, without speaking their internal rules.
The bible is the inspired word of Jehovah
Jehovah is the only true God
Jesus-Christ is the fathered unique son of God
Satan is the "chief of this world"
The Kingdom of Jehovah and the Christ will replace all human governments and will be the only government of all the humanity
Since 1914 we live the "time of the end"
A only path leads to God, all the other religions are not approved by Jehovah
The death is a consequence of the sin of Adam
Only 144000 go to the sky
The others will live eternally on the earth under the Kingdom of Jehovah
Respect the authority of this world, if they don't hinder their works
Refuse the blood: transfusion and foodstuff
Do the will of Jehovah
The 13 is the number of skies for the Aztecs, and the hair of the Ancient of Days had thirteen buckles and his beard thirteen wicks. The ancient Mexico divided also the time in cycles of 52 years divided themselves in four periods of thirteen years. They had also a week of thirteen days. Thirteen was also, for the Aztecs, a time number, which represented the completion of the temporal series.
The sacred cord of Druids has thirteen segments.
The thirteen evil spirits according to the Cabal.
The thirteenth in a group appears in antiquity as the most powerful and the most sublime. For example, Ulysses, the thirteenth of his group, escapes the appetite devouring of the Cyclops.
For the superstitious ones, Fridays 13 are real nightmares: if that day there are 13 guests to the table, that precedes a death in the year (to be 13 to table would carry misfortune); to see a black cat Friday 13 carries misfortune; it is preferable not to exit that day, but in the opposite case, if one leaves by a door, it is always necessary to enter by the same door. The superstition of Friday 13 was also revivified in this era of the computer by some viruses introduced into the computer systems appearing only the day of Fridays 13. The fortune teller on the other hand predicts better the future on Friday 13. In France, as soon as there is a Friday 13 to the calendar, the National Lottery organizes a special drawing because some choose that day to bet the money. But for some, less credulous and more prone to the optimism, the number 13 is a lucky number on which they hope to make a success of what they do or to try their chance. For example, one of these succeeds to convince the British navy to dissipate fears of superstitious sailors who refused to go up a ship a Friday 13. It was indeed decided that they would proceed to the launching of a new ship on a Friday 13. This ship was baptized the H.M.S. Friday. It was controlled by the Friday Captain and took finally the sea a Friday 13. They never see again the ship and the crew.
For the Mayas, the time is divided into several cycles beginning with the birth of Venus. And the cycle in which we are would have begun August 13, 3114 before J.-C. and would end on December 22, 2012. According to them, this date corresponds to the fifth and last cycle of the Earth, what would end to the destruction of the world.
One tells that Philip II, king of Macedonian from 356 to 336 before J.-C., had the misfortune, during of a procession, to add his statue to those of the twelve major gods of the Greek mythology. He was assassinated few time after while he was going to combat against Persia.
Number in relation with the moon: it covers on the average thirteen degrees per day and there are thirteen lunations in the year.
The Creation would be divided into thirteen dimensions and levels: in the first dimension, there are 13 levels; in the second dimension, there are 12 levels; in the third dimension, there are 10 levels. And so on until the thirteenth dimension, which is the dimension of the portal, which is the Dimension of the Christ. And there, there is one level.

The thirteen cords of the harp in Japan.
The thirteen gates of the human body of the woman: 2 eyes, 2 ears, 2 nostrils, the mouth, 2 breasts, the navel, the anus, the urethra and the vagina.
Some advance that the Universe created is governed by thirteen fundamental constants of the physics which are amongst other the speed of the light, constants of Planck, Boltzmann and Eddington, the load of the proton, the mass of the proton and the electron to the rest, etc. But this is far to make the unanimity for all seekers and scientists.

IL NUMERO KARMICO TREDICI
Il numero karmico Tredici rappresenta la morte, la strasformazione e la rinascita. Chi vive sotto l’infuenza del Tredici avrà la concreta possibilità di riparare o di completare ciò che nelle vite passate è rimasto incompiuto. Ostacolate in precedenti esperienze di vita da situazioni di malattia, ignoranza e/o schiavitù, le persone del Tredici potranno quindi agognare ad una vita migliore.
Questa aspettativa non si limita solamente all’individuo influenzato dal Tredici, ma coinvolge anche le persone che gli stanno vicine a cui trasmette questa grande capacità. Dato che, nell’ultima fase del suo percorso evolutivo il Tredici si troverà a dover affrontare diversi ostacoli, potrà cedere alla debolezza di abbandonare il cammino o di prendere deviazioni per rendere il percorso più semplice, eviando così proprio ciò che si era prefisso di fare sin dall’inizio. Il Tredici karmico simboleggia inoltre il bisogno innato di apprendere la disciplina e il modo giusto per superare qualsiasi tipo di difficoltà.

[ESP] La portada norte seguramente es la más antigua. Está compuesta por un arco de medio punto rodeado por dos arquivoltas peraltadas y sin decoración, y otras tantas columnas con función decorativa rematadas con capiteles decorados con formas toscas, tres con entrelazados de distinto volumen y trazado, y otro con dos animales apenas identificables en plena pelea. Sin duda, lo más destacado de esta portada es el tímpano -que es la joya de la corona del templo- en el que se representa un Pantocrátor rodeado por un tetramorfos y enmarcado por una cenefa con el característico ajedrezado de Jaca, y en el centro de la parte inferior un crismón que muestra también una influencia aragonesa. A ambos lados de la cabeza de Cristo hay una representación del sol y la luna, que hay que interpretarla como una sincretización románica asignando el valor de Cronocrátor (señor del tiempo y de los ciclos) a Cristo.

It was built in the first half of the 13th century, and includes many foreign decorative elements: strips of blind semicircular arches in the bell tower and apses, or the small vertical lesenes (pilaster strip) on the outside of the apse, both typical of Lombard Romanesque, checkered jaques on the front and eaves… Outside the temple, the highlights are the bell tower, the head and its two façades.

[ESP] En el interior se aprecian las tres naves del edificio, la central más ancha y alta, separadas por tres grandes pilastras circulares rematadas en un sencillo ábaco que soportan arcos formeros, que conforman los tres tramos de cada una de las naves. La nave central se cubre con una bóveda de cañón apuntado, las laterales con bóvedas de cuarto de cañón y la cabecera se cubre -como marcan los cánones románicos- cañón para el tramo presbiteral y bóveda de horno para los ábsides. A los pies del templo se abre un coro que dispone de dos niveles distintos, de construcción posterior.
La iglesia de Bossost, dedicada a la advocación de la Mair de Diu dera Purificacion, es una de las mejor conservadas de toda la comarca del Val d'Aran, y un claro ejemplo del prototipo de iglesia románica aranesa (edificios muy horizontales, con tres naves y tres ábsides semicirculares y un hastial muy marcado en el presbiterio). Fue construida en la primera mitad del siglo XIII, e incluye muchos elementos decorativos foráneos: franjas de arquillos ciegos de medio punto en campanario y ábsides, o las pequeñas lesenas verticales en el exterior del ábside, ambos propios del románico lombardo, ajedrezado jaqués en portada y aleros… En el exterior del templo, lo más destacado son el campanario, la cabecera y sus dos portadas.

[ESP] La portada norte seguramente es la más antigua. Está compuesta por un arco de medio punto rodeado por dos arquivoltas peraltadas y sin decoración, y otras tantas columnas con función decorativa rematadas con capiteles decorados con formas toscas, tres con entrelazados de distinto volumen y trazado, y otro con dos animales apenas identificables en plena pelea. Sin duda, lo más destacado de esta portada es el tímpano -que es la joya de la corona del templo- en el que se representa un Pantocrátor rodeado por un tetramorfos y enmarcado por una cenefa con el característico ajedrezado de Jaca, y en el centro de la parte inferior un crismón que muestra también una influencia aragonesa. A ambos lados de la cabeza de Cristo hay una representación del sol y la luna, que hay que interpretarla como una sincretización románica asignando el valor de Cronocrátor (señor del tiempo y de los ciclos) a Cristo.

[ESP] La cabecera está compuesta por tres ábsides semicirculares, el central de mayores dimensiones. En la parte superior destaca la franja de arquillos ciegos, en los muros las pequeñas lesenas que rompen la horizontalidad, ambas de influencia del románico lombardo. En los tres ábsides hay una ventana pequeña en forma de aspillera con decoración en el extradós de los arcos consistente en franjas con formas geométricas. En el ábside norte, durante la última restauración se han sustituido los sillares originales por otros de aspecto muy moderno. En el hastial del presbiterio destacan una espadaña de un vano y cinco óculos, tres que iluminan la nave central y los otros cada una de las naves.
