We're Here! @ The X Spot.
I was in the craft store when I remembered I recently saw some shots that Mr. X posted from a craft store, so I took this shot for today's copycat pic. Happy Birthday to the X's!
The first clear indications of Christians in Plovdiv are Christian symbols dating to 3rd century. In 304, during the persecutions of Diocletian, 38 Christians were martyred here. Three quarters of a century later the situation had changed dramatically, as by that time Christianity was not only tolerated (313, Edict of Milan) but the religion of The State, with pagan worship banned (380, Edict of Thesallonica). Around this time, the Bishop's Basilica in Ploviv was built next to the Roman Forum atop the site of a temple of the Imperial Cult, recycling some of its materials. It was quite large (36 by 83 meters) and--at least in time--grew very extravagant, with increasingly ornate floor mosaics, for which the site is now justifiably famous.
With Rome's collapse Plovdiv became subject to waves of rampaging Huns, Goths and Avars and by the end of the 7th century the Basilica was abandoned. A primitive medieval neighborhood merged with its ruins and part of the site became a cemetery. A millennia later (1980s) the site was rediscovered and partially excavated, and today a very modern museum (above) stands over the extensive ruins and restored mosaics. It is an incredibly well-designed and curated museum, but it is obviously hard to get the general population excited about mosaics. We visited the Bishop's Basilica Museum, the Small Basilica Museum, and the Eirene House Museum in Plovdiv--all museums of Late Antiquity mosaics--and found that we had them all to ourselves.

Class outing to the graffiti lanes in Melbourne. Not something that would have happened in my school daze.
Yes, we have no bananas to commit violence on, but this lemon has been giving me a sour look, so he's gonna get it instead.
