Saint-Austremoine, now parish church in Issoire, was once the church of a benedictian abbey, that, following the "Vita prima Autremonii" was founded by Saint-Austremoine himself, what probably only stands for "old" or "very old".
The abbey got "revitalized" by monks from Charroux (Poitou), that had fled to Issoire after Vikings had raided the coastal areas.
The church was probably erected between 1130 and 1160/70 and now is the largest of the "crown jewels" of romanesque architecture in the Auvergne. - During the Wars of Religion infamous Mathieu Merle and his troops killed the monks, looted the abbey and tried to demolish the building. But the church withstood even the fire (only the towers collapsed), though all carvings in and outside got damaged severely. Two years later the catholic troops reconquered the town by destroying it - but they did not damage the church further. Of course, the abbey and church got looted again during the French Revolution, but soon after (1832), the church got the status of a "monument historique".
So repairs, renovations and reconstructions started comparatively early. Bernard Craplet ("Auvergne romane") is convinced, that the architects, choosen for this project, were unfortunately neither sufficiently gifted nor skilled. They "recreated" the western facade (1845), and the "pseudo-romanesque" bell-towers. Even the damaged carvings got remodeled, but worst of all, following B. Craplet, they repainted the interior (1857-1859) using pretty screaming colours.
It impossible, to find out, how much of the carvings is 12th century. The first "reconstruction" (using gypsum) was done already after the lootings in the 17th century. The mint capitals seen today are products of different phases of "recreating".
While in and around the choir is a nice light, in some areas of the aisles it is pretty dark. The carvings here are deeply rooted in the traditions of the Auvergne, what makes them very interesting.
Sorry for the blurry shot.
A pair of shepherds, a very familiar sight, in the romanesque churches of the Auvergne. The carvings is probably referring to the "Parable of the Lost Sheep" (Matthew, 18:12-14 / Luke 18:12-14). This shepherd-theme ("Pastor Bonus") can be found in Biozat, Thuret, Volvic, Besse, Orcival... Another, slightly different shepherd is on the next photo.
Very interesting are the trees here. These very mysterious plants sprout out of giant heads on the ground.
The Republic of South Sudan and the United Nations Development Programme (UNPD) jointly mark the launch of the first National Human Development Report 2015 on February 24, 2016 for an independent South Sudan under the theme, “People, Peace and Prosperity."
It’s believed the report will enable the government and the key partners to make strategic decisions that enable the citizens to lead long and healthy lives, to acquire knowledge, and to be able to enjoy a decent standard of living and shape their own lives. The report focuses on development by the people, of the people and for the people. The report comes at a time when the country is facing major socio-economic and political challenges and is exploring options to rebuild the country.
The ceremony was attended by Vice President James Wani Igga, who launched the report; Eugene Owusu Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General in South Sudan, Resident Coordinator, and Humanitarian Coordinator; and Agrey Tisa Sabuni, Chair of the National Human Development Report Advisory Committee.
The Jewish Square, Vienna 1, formed in the Middle Ages under the name of "schoolyard" the center of the former Jewish Town, extending next to the Ducal court. It was closed from the rest of the city by four gates. Here there were school, bathhouse, synagogue and the house of the rabbi. The school was one of the most important of German-speaking countries. The community existed from about 1190 to the Vienna Geserah in 1421.
The stemming from the 15th century Jordan House, Nr. 2, bears a late Gothic relief with the representation of Jesus' baptism in the Jordan. This is not only a reference to the name of the house owner, Jörg Jordan, but also to the Vienna Geserah which the accompanying text endorses. On the initiative of Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, the Archdiocese of Vienna donated a plaque which Cardinal Franz König on 29 October 1998 unveiled. Its text reads: "Kiddush HaShem" means "sanctification of God". With this awareness, chose Viennese Jews in the synagogue here on Jewish Square - the center of an important Jewish community - at the time of persecution 1420/21 the suicide to escape a feared by them forced baptism. Others, about 200, were burnt alive in Erdberg (today 3rd district of Vienna) at the stake. Christian preachers of that time spread superstitious anti-Jewish ideas and thus incited against the Jews and their faith. So influenced, Christians in Vienna acquiesced without resistance, approved it and became perpetrators. Thus, the liquidation of the Vienna Jewish Town in 1421 was already a looming omen for what happened in our century throughout europe during the Nazi dictatorship. Medieval popes pronounced unsuccessfully against the anti-Jewish superstition, and individual believers struggled unsuccessfully against the racial hatred of the Nazis. But those were too few. Today Christendom regrets its involvement in the persecution of Jews and recognizes its failures. "Sanctification of God" today for Christians can only mean: asking for forgiveness and hope in God's salvation. October 29, 1998
Already in 1910, consisted the plan here the poet of the Enlightenment, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729-1781), who in his play "Nathan the Wise" the interdenominational tolerance has put up a literary monument, to honor with a statue. In 1935, a sculpture by Siegfried Charoux was unveiled, but only four years later, in 1940, taken off and melted down for armaments. In 1968, the same artist created again a Lessing monument, which came first on the Morzin square and 1981 on the original site.
Since 2000, the place is a unique ensemble of remembering with the memorial by Rachel Whiteread for the 65,000 Austrian victims of the Shoah. 1995 the foundations of the in 1420 destroyed synagogue were excavated which now with finds constitute a part of the branch of the Jewish Museum Vienna. A computer-animated walk leads into one of the largest Jewish communities in Europe which existed here in the early 15th century. Another room is dedicated to the Shoah documentation.
Der Judenplatz, Wien 1, bildete im Mittelalter unter dem Namen „Schulhof“ den Mittelpunkt der einstigen Judenstadt, die sich neben dem Herzogshof erstreckte. Sie war durch vier Tore von der übrigen Stadt abgeschlossen. Hier befanden sich Schule, Badestube, Synagoge und das Haus des Rabbiners. Die Schule war eine der bedeutendsten des deutschen Sprachraums. Die Gemeinde bestand ab etwa 1190 bis zur Wiener Geserah im Jahre 1421.
Das aus dem 15. Jahrhundert stammende Jordanhaus, Nr. 2, trägt ein spätgotisches Relief mit der Darstellung der Taufe Jesu im Jordan. Dieses ist nicht nur eine Anspielung auf den Namen des Hausbesitzers, Jörg Jordan, sondern auch auf die Wiener Geserah, die der beigefügte Text gut heißt. Auf Initiative von Kardinal Christoph Schönborn stiftete die Erzdiözese Wien eine Gedenktafel, die Kardinal Franz König am 29. Oktober 1998 enthüllte. Ihr Text lautet: „Kiddusch HaSchem“ heißt „Heiligung Gottes“ Mit diesem Bewußtsein wählten Juden Wiens in der Synagoge hier am Judenplatz — dem Zentrum einer bedeutenden jüdischen Gemeinde — zur Zeit der Verfolgung 1420/21 den Freitod, um einer von ihnen befürchteten Zwangstaufe zu entgehen. Andere, etwa 200, wurden in Erdberg auf dem Scheiterhaufen lebendig verbrannt. Christliche Prediger dieser Zeit verbreiteten abergläubische judenfeindliche Vorstellungen und hetzten somit gegen die Juden und ihren Glauben. So beeinflusst nahmen Christen in Wien dies widerstandslos hin, billigten es und wurden zu Tätern. Somit war die Auflösung der Wiener Judenstadt 1421 schon ein drohendes Vorzeichen für das, was europaweit in unserem Jahrhundert während der nationalsozialistischen Zwangsherrschaft geschah. Mittelalterliche Päpste wandten sich erfolglos gegen den judenfeindlichen Aberglauben, und einzelne Gläubige kämpften erfolglos gegen den Rassenhaß der Nationalsozialisten. Aber es waren derer zu wenige. Heute bereut die Christenheit ihre Mitschuld an den Judenverfolgungen und erkennt ihr Versagen. „Heiligung Gottes“ kann heute für die Christen nur heißen: Bitte um Vergebung und Hoffnung auf Gottes Heil. 29. Oktober 1998
Schon 1910 bestand der Plan, dem Dichter der Aufklärung Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729-1781), der in seinem Stück „Nathan der Weise“hat Lessing der interkonfessionellen Toleranz ein literarisches Denkmal gesetzt hat, hier mit einem Standbild zu ehren. 1935 wurde eine Plastik von Siegfried Charoux enthüllt, doch schon vier Jahre später entfernt und 1940 für Rüstungszwecke eingeschmolzen. 1968 schuf der selbe Künstler wieder ein Lessing-Denkmal, das zunächst auf den Morzinplatz und 1981 an den ursprünglichen Aufstellungsort kam.
Seit 2000 ist der Platz ein einzigartiges Ensemble des Erinnerns mit dem Mahnmal von Rachel Whiteread für die 65.000 österreichischen Opfer der Schoa. 1995 wurden die Fundamente der 1420 zerstörten Synagoge ergraben, die nun mit Funden einen Teil der Außenstelle des Jüdischen Museums Wien ausmachen. Ein computeranimierter Spaziergang führt in eine der größten jüdischen Gemeinden Europas, die Anfang des 15. Jahrhundert hier bestand. Ein weiterer Raum ist der Schoa-Dokumentation gewidmet.

Thousands join to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe
Story and photos by Andrew Junker | March 15, 2010 | The Catholic Sun
An unusual sight met passersby in downtown Phoenix Dec. 4.
A seemingly endless line of men, women and children snaked through the city’s streets. They wore colorful clothing; some had masks on or loud metal tappers attached to their shoes.
They danced and sang and honored Our Lady of Guadalupe, whose feast day they were celebrating. All told, more than 4,000 people from 80 different groups joined in the procession that ended at an altar set up in the street facing St. Mary’s Basilica.
Bishops Thomas J. Olmsted and Eduardo A. Nevares stood before the altar and blessed all those who walked and danced by. It took more than an hour for the procession to end.
“There were some powerful symbols evident,” said Armando Ruiz of this year’s Honor Your Mother event, which culminated with a Mass where Bishop Nevares gave the homily.
Ruiz — who helps plan the celebration — saw a coming together of the whole diocese at the event. St. Mark, a predominantly Hispanic parish, and St. Theresa, which is predominantly Anglo, sponsored this year’s Honor Your Mother, which in itself is a symbol of the power of Our Lady, Ruiz said.
“The whole idea that you had Hispanic and non-Hispanic parishes coming together to celebrate the Virgin of Guadalupe as a patroness of the diocese,” he said, “she’s that hope of bringing diverse groups together as she did when she first came 500 years ago.”
Bishop Olmsted said something similar as Mass began.
“We are all children of God today, grateful for the way Mary inspires us to bring the great news of her Son to everyone we meet,” he said.
Ruiz was also pleased with how many people participated in the procession — the event’s largest yet — and by the traditions and practices those marchers celebrated.
“Most of the dances and the costumes were indigenous and Bishop Nevares, when he spoke, talked about that,” Ruiz said. “They remained true to those long-time traditions, and as they’ve come to this country, they shouldn’t abandon those traditions of faith for what can sometimes be materialistic or non-faith promises of this society.”
Bishop Nevares delivered his homily in both Spanish and English. He began with a brief explanation of the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
“The image of Our Lady of Guadalupe is so powerful because we see Mary, the conqueror of all the Aztec pagan gods. She is the bridge between the Aztec culture and the Catholic faith.”
Likewise, the bishop encouraged the congregation to turn to Mary and leave behind all the distractions that modern society offer: cell phones, the Internet, iPods.
“There are so many distractions that take us away from our life of prayer. We need to get back to praying in our family, to praying individually, to praying the rosary,” Bishop Nevares said.
It’s from this devoted prayer life that men and women can find their vocations, he added, and asked the congregation where they thought priests come from.
“Do they fall down from the sky?” he pointed above his head. “No. They come from your families.”
As Christ told the Apostle John from the cross that Mary was his mother and that John was her son, so too should Catholics live out that familial relationship, the bishop said.
“As the disciple took Mary into his care, each of us is invited to take Mary into our home and into our heart. Let us accept her and love her as our heavenly mother.”
Ruiz said that the homily — like the entire Honor Your Mother celebration — helps prepare local Catholics for a new evangelization.

From the Port Albert Conservation Study, 1982, by Graeme Butler:
"The Rev. W. Bean commenced Anglican services in the Port Albert Customs House in June 1856. Upon Bean's departure in 1859, the Rev. Stretch arrived in 1860 and urged for the construction of a church at the port, whilst having the use of the Presbyterian Church in the interim. The first Port Albert Anglican Church, which was designed by architect, H.B. Thomas, was opened in March 1863, to be burnt by bush fires in January of 1884 during the ministry of H. A. Betts. The new church was designed by local architect and surveyor, George Hastings and built by John Avery for about 420 pounds. This church opened in July 1885.
It is a simple high-gabled Gothic styled timber church with scalloped and pierced barges both to the church and the porch. Pointed arch, multi-pane windows survive on the side walls but the original spired timber belltower has been replaced with an iron-frame structure and the probable earth-colouring, in different tones, of the original colour scheme of the church has also gone. The arrow-head picket fence however, still surrounds the church yard and most of the pine trees have survived.
This picturesque church is reminiscent of the Tarraville Church, with its decorated barges and former free standing belltower, and represents a local stytle of church building, whilst being also similar to the original church on the site."
In the Hall of Crosses, display cases set in walls contain personal objects stolen from Triestine Jews by Nazi troops who were intending to flee with them to Carinzia in 1945. These objects were found by the Allies stashed in burlap bags and were sent to Rome, where for decades may lay forgotten in the underground vaults of the Treasury Ministry. In 2000, they were finally restored to the Jewish Community of Trieste, which decided to display a portion of them in the Carlo and Vera Wagner Museum, and donate another small but significant selection to the Civic Museum of the San Sabba Risiera and to the "Yad Vashem" Museum in Jerusalem.

The small crofting township of Duirinish is found just under four miles north east of Kyle of Lochalsh and just under a mile south west of Plockton. The most direct road between the two passes through Duirinish, and that is how most people encounter this enchanting little place. You are unlikely to find a better preserved crofting township anywhere in Scotland. The township stands a little back from both the north and south banks of the Allt Dhuirinish. The result is what at first can appear like a village wrapped around its village green, though here the "green" is part of the pasture and the little river is in a beautifully natural state.

It was Thursday. I laid in until nearly eight, snoozing and dozing.
I leap up, have a shower and get dressed. Despite the dreadful weather forecast, I would go out.
And after Col and Aidan mentioned their trips on buses, I thought I would take the X18 to Warwick.
One left at 09:52, giving me just enough time to walk to Wood Street, find a place to eat and be ready.
It was indeed raining, but it was just five minutes to Wood Street, and opposite the bus stop was an independent bakery. I go in, order a tea and a cheese and salsa or something toastie.
Both were good, but I realised I had ten minutes before the bus, even though there was another in half an hour.
I go out, cross the road and soon a bus with Warwick on the destination board pulled in. I didn't notice the route number, but instead of the express service, I was on the slow, calling at all villages services.
But it was fine, I was in no hurry.
So the bus roared and bounced its way down narrow roads in housing estates, short bursts of full speed, before pulling off into a village.
The rain still came down, running down the windows, but they were all condensated, so you couldn't see out of them anyway.
All trips on buses in the county cost just £3, so was a bargain.
After an hour we arrived in Warwick, pulling in at the small bus station. We all thanked the driver as we got off, as its what Brits do.
A map and signpost showed the way to the town centre, so I walked up the street until it opened up into a square with the town hall in the centre.
If only I knew where the church was. I looked round and saw the four pinnacles of the tower over the roofs of the shops.
I walked towards it.
St Mary was open. Col had checked that it would be. It was due to open at 11, it was ten to, but the door swung open, and the warmth inside hit me like a woolly blanket.
I received a warm welcome too. A guide showed me to the Beauchamp Chapel, down some steps where Elizabeth I's beau is buried with his higher born wife, so in eternity, she lays slightly above him to remind Dudley he didn't marry Good Queen Bess.
The church is huge, and full of delights. I was inside for nearly 90 minutes, and still missed things to photograph and admire. There was some ancient glass, and some good Victorian glass too.
At quarter past twelve I was done, or churched out. I walked outside, and into the Rose and Crown opposite, where I ordered a pint of Timothy Taylor Boltmaker, which was so good I had a second, and an Indonesian curry with sambal.
Delicious.
One last thing to see and snap, was the Westgate with Lord Leycester Hospital beside it. The latter sadly closed until March, so I made do with shots of the gate, with chapel above and the timber framed buildings of the hospital, timbers and walls all at different angles.
Rain began to fall. And it looked set in, so I checked with the bus timetable, and it seemed a bus was due in ten minutes, so I walked back to the bus station, to shelter A.
And waited.
And waited some more.
It was twenty five minutes late, so not sure if it was the next one early, or the previous nearly half an hour late.
Whatever, it was the express service, and it made good time. I sat on the upper deck, because its the law on a double decker, so the trees being shaken in the strong wind, scratched down the roof.
It was still raining in Stratford, so I went into Tesco for supplies of pop, crisps and biscuits before walking back to the hotel for a feast of dirty food.
I read more of Cameron Crowe's book as rain hammered down outside. It grew dark and so I climbed into bed to read, so to keep warm.

The Collegiate Church of St Mary is a Church of England parish church in Warwick, Warwickshire, England. It is in the centre of the town just east of the market place. It is Grade I listed, and a member of the Major Churches Network.
The church has the status of collegiate church as it had a college of secular canons. In governance and religious observance it was similar to a cathedral (although not the seat of a bishop and without diocesan responsibilities). There is a Bishop of Warwick, but this is an episcopal title used by a suffragan bishop of the Diocese of Coventry.
The church foundations date back nine hundred years, being created by Roger de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Warwick, in 1123.[1] In addition to founding the church, de Beaumont established the college of dean and canons at the church. The only surviving part of the Norman church which de Beaumont had built is the crypt.
The chancel vestries and chapter house of the church were extensively rebuilt in the 14th century by a later Earl of Warwick, Thomas de Beauchamp (died 1369, later pronounced Beecham), in the Perpendicular Gothic style.[2] Between c. 1370 and 1394, the chancel, transept, nave and aisles were rebuilt, then forming a basilica with wooden roofs.[3] Thomas Beauchamp's descendants built the Chapel of Our Lady, commonly known as the Beauchamp Chapel. It contains the effigial monuments of Richard de Beauchamp, 13th Earl of Warwick, Ambrose Dudley, 3rd Earl of Warwick, and Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester. Buried in the chancel of the church is William Parr, 1st Marquess of Northampton, the brother of queen consort Catherine Parr.
The college was dissolved in 1546, and the church was granted by the Crown to the burgesses of Warwick.[2] Before their destruction in the Civil War, Wenceslaus Hollar copied many of the stained glass windows in the Beauchamp Chapel, showing heraldry of the Beauchamp family.
The church, along with much of Warwick, was devastated by the Great Fire of Warwick in 1693. The nave and tower of the building were completely destroyed. In 1704, the rebuilt church was completed in a Gothic design by William Wilson (appointed by the Crown Commissioners).[5] Sir Christopher Wren is also said to have contributed to the design, but that is disputed.[1][2] The tower rises to the height of 130 feet (40 m).[4] The design was described by John Summerson as being "as remarkable for its success as for its independence in style from other seventeenth-century English Gothic".[6]
The church has been undergoing significant maintenance for renovation since early 2023 and is expected to be complete by the end of 2023. At a cost of £1.4 million, the renovation was planned after a piece of masonry fell from the church's tower.

What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind...

This is a photograph from the fourth annual running of the 'Streets of Athboy' 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held in the town of Athboy, Co. Meath, Ireland on Friday 11th August 2017 at 20:00. Tonight's event follows on from the very successful previous three runnings of the event. The race event was organised very successfully again by Mick Priest and his team of volunteers and helpers from the local athletics club Father Murphy AC and the local community. The Fr. Murphy club is based in rural meath between the towns of Ballivor and Athboy. A credit to their establishment the club boasts facilities on 17 acres including a grass 400m and 1KM all weather walking track.
The race itself starts on the Navan road approximately 1KM from the Registration Hall. The race follows a route away along the main street of Athboy and then turns left at the Cosy Pub onto the Kildalkey Road. This brings participants through a series of bends before a long straight stretch leading to a country laneway where there is a short loop before return back onto the Kildalkey road. This returns back on the route that the race started on. The race finished in the grounds of Athboy Community Centre. It is a good fair course and many participants felt it offered the opportunity for fast running. Overall the race, as part of the Meath AAI series of races, continued and maintained the high standard of road race organisation in County Meath by Meath running and athletic clubs. The Fr. Murphy Athletic Club also organise a very successful 10KM Road Race and Fun Run which is held during Easter on an annual basis and is also part of the Meath AAI calendar of races. However the 10KM does not actually take place in Athboy but rather the nearby village and townlands of Kildalkey.
The very rainy weather of recent days cleared off and the race was held in good weather conditions for running. However the greatest challenge during the second week of August is the fading evening summer light as the dusk begins to creep in a little earlier each evening.
Refreshments were provided afterwards in St. James' Hall in the town where the race headquarters and registration took place. Athboy is located west of Navan on the N51 between Navan and Delvin. Athboy is also very close to the Westmeath border which is only a few miles away to the west of the town.

Let's get a bit technical: We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs
We use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License for all our photographs here in this photograph set. What does this mean in reality?
The explaination is very simple.
Attribution- anyone using our photographs gives us an appropriate credit for it. This ensures that people aren't taking our photographs and passing them off as their own. This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it.
ShareAlike – anyone can use these photographs, and make changes if they like, or incorporate them into a bigger project, but they must make those changes available back to the community under the same terms.
Above all what Creative Commons aims to do is to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: www.flickr.com/creativecommons/
I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
