Jan Hus was a Czech church reformer executed in 1415. His teachings had a profound influence on the history of the Czech nation.
Jan Hus’s contribution to the development of the Czech literary language was the introduction of diacritical marks, such as: č, š, ř, ž, á, í, é. The purpose of this innovation was representing each sound by only one symbol and eleminating digraphs (sounds represented by two letters).
The inscription on the monument reads “Milujte se, pravdy každému přejte”, which means more or less: “Love one another, wish the truth to everyone”. This is a shortened version of a quote from one of Hus’s letters from prison. The day of his execution, July 6th, is a public holiday in Czechia (Jan Hus Day).
The inscription reads, "This memorial is dedicated to the men and women who make their living from the sea and to those who have lost their lives in so doing".

Inscription on a bench in my village. She has died almost a decade ago. He has moved away recently. The bench will stay there, for a while. We know that everything must have its end. So, why "always"? Because we can think it. The world may end, but we can think eternity. Always.

Detalles técnicos / Technical details: Raw file processed in LR: Auto lens profile correction + Nikon Picture Control Vivid. The difference in color which appears at the bottom of the picture is due to differences in the actual boards covering the facade (amplify to see the sealed joints). Those boards were made off-site and mounted lalter on the building (See [www.d-y-d.com/sv/svex/indexex.html])
This is one of the most unique AND creepy windows I have ever seen. It is in the Capela dos Ossos, in Evora, Portugal. The Chapel was built as an extension to the Convent of Sao Francisco in the first half of the 17th Century. The Chapel is an invitation to reflect on the transitory nature of the human condition. An inscription over the entrance to the Chapel translated to English reads, "We bones here, for yours await."
Happy(?) Window Wednesday!
"I found these ancient inscriptions and writings on the rocks during my recent tour of the valley. Although I couldn't read them, a brief search revealed that they are religious prayers and some names. I believe they are very old, mainly because the script is undotted - and in Arabic, dots are essential for distinguishing letters. Since dots were first introduced in the 7th century AD, this suggests the inscriptions predate that period."
Recently returned from a wonderful, impactful trip to Israel. As we approach Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday (Easter), thought the timing would be good to share this shot. In the foreground is the Church of All Nations on the Mount of Olives by the Garden of Gethsemane. It was built in 1920 on top of two previous churches (Byzantine and Crusader). It is said to enshrine a section of bedrock where Jesus prayed before his arrest. (Mark 14:32–42). In 2020 they discovered Greek inscriptions written on the floor of the 1,500 year old Byzantine church, "for the memory and repose of those who love Christ… accept the offering of your servants and give them remission of sins”. This is the oldest archaeological evidence to verify this site as the Garden of Gethsemane. The Church of Mary Magdalene (up the hill on the right), with seven gilded turrets, is an East Orthodox Church and was built in 1888 by the Czar of Russia.

Looking at the wall around it, one wonders just how many layers of paint adorned it before finally being abandoned in the 1950s. There is evidence of quite a number, but just how many...?
A chapel at the base of the church tower. note the carved inscription on the wall above the door which indicates that it was dedicated to the Archangel Michael.
This book belonged to my husband's grandfather, he gave it to us many years ago. Photographing it today for the Macro Mondays theme I wondered if he thought that my house keeping skills could do with some work - the book is called Domestic Economy, a class book for girls.!
The preface has a lovely line which says "It may be profitable to put the book into the hands of those who are already engaged in domestic work, whether daughters or mothers, mistresses or maids."
I'd love to know who it was given to in 1879.....HMM

Macro Monday - Oldest Object You Can Find
My grandmother passed away in 1988 and this was amongst her belongings...all wrapped in plastic...I came across it a while back and put it aside with the intent of framing it. I remembered it when I saw the challenge and when I unwrapped it to photograph it, I was pleasantly surprised to find she had left an inscription of sorts:
"February 16, 1940 - Kenny (my grandfather) Nora (my mother, age 14) and I went to the pictures at the Orpheum for first night of Gone with the Wind - when we came out Foncie took our picture"
Now I'll have to look through the boxes of family photos and see if I can find one of the three of them walking down Granville Street, Vancouver, BC
I wonder how they got tickets to the opening? The cost of the program was 25 cents
I only found this impressive war memorial because I walked from the railway station into the village. The memorial has an inscription; "In memory of the young men of Plockton who died in the service of their country during the Great War 1914 - 1918 and 1939 - 1945".
Lest we forget
The Diana Temple in the park in Arkadia, Poland.
The Diana Temple was designed and raised by Szymon Bogumił Zug in 1783. The construction of classical proportions decorated with the openwork ornamentation is based on four lonic columns. Under the tympanum facing the pond you can see Latin inscription: "Dove pace trovai d'ogni mia guerra" (it was here that I found peace after each of the battles).
The interior of the temple constitute: the Vestibule, the Etruscan Cabinet, the oval Bedroom abd the Presence Chamber called Pantheon decorated with the stucco columns, ornamented mould and the plafond depicting Aurora pained by Jan Piotr Norblin.
The park was founded in 1778 by Princess Helena Radziwiłł, who lived in Nieborow. For designing and decorating its numerous pavilions she employed the most outstanding Polish architects and painters of the time. She also gathered one of the first antique art collections in Poland in the park. Owing to her, Arkadia enjoyed the status of one of the greatest cultural centers of the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. In the park, nature and art are in harmony: the complex is composed of buildings imitating ancient ruins or the English Gothic style (Murgrabia House, Little Gothic House, Stone Arch, Diana's Temple with a Pantheon and Etruscan Room, the Sanctuary of the High Priest, the Cave of Sybil, the Tomb of Illusions, Circus and Amphitheatre). Arkadia is the only such classical-romantic historical complex in Europe, and the Museum received the European Award for the Protection of Historic Sites in 1994 for its restoration.

Inscription on what used to be a paint store (now a fitness centre). It says: Paint and varnish prevent decay.
Paris, France, Le Palais Royal. "Les Modes," a sculpture in bronze by Wang Du (detail).
"La presse écrite, Internet et la télévision sont les supports privilégiés de son art. De ce recours quasi obsessionnel aux médias, Wang Du extrait les images les plus frappantes, créant ainsi une « post-réalité » qui oscille entre monde réel et virtualité du monde médiatique. Dans le jardin, il a posé trois journaux froissés en boule, surdimensionnés et en acier, qui appartiennent à la série des «Modes»."
The grave of Peter James Bradley (1822-49), his wife Sarah Maria Bradley, née Chubb (1820-50), and their son Charles James Bradley (1845-50).
What brief lives many people had in those days.
However, Peter and Sarah had another child, Benjamin James Bradley, who lived to the age of 71. He was born in 1842, and died in 1914. He was a boot maker who lived in the City of London.
This grave was seen at the Church of All Saints in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, on 10 April 2023.
This is an impressive late 13th century cruciform church with a towering 190 ft spire. It was described by John Betjeman as the finest church in Bedfordshire.

Kuthodaw Pagoda (literally Royal Merit, and formally titled Mahalawka Marazein is a Buddhist stupa, located in Mandalay, Burma (Myanmar), that contains the world's largest book. It lies at the foot of Mandalay Hill and was built during the reign of King Mindon. The stupa itself, which is gilded above its terraces, is 188 feet (57 m) high, and is modelled after the Shwezigon Pagoda at Nyaung-U near Bagan. In the grounds of the pagoda are 729 kyauksa gu or stone-inscription caves, each containing a marble slab inscribed on both sides with a page of text from the Tipitaka, the entire Pali Canon of Theravada Buddhism.
