Tanah Lot was founded by the Javanese priest Danghyang Nirartha in the 16th century. Legend has it that he slept on the site one evening, and afterwards suggested that the Balinese build a sacred temple on that spot. The temple is one of the six cardinal temples in Bali that are strung out in a line down the west coast, and on a clear day you can see all the way to another cardinal temple, Pura Uluwatu on the southwestern coast of the Bukit Peninsula. As one of Bali’s many sea temples that are meant to honor the gods and goddesses of the ocean, this is a sacred site that is revered by many Balinese Hindus.
SANTORINI PRIEST
...on his way to the church Sotiras, Oia, Santorini – on Sunday morning, 7 o'clock: the heavy earthquakes in the history of Santorini developed an intensive religious community; my wife and me, we followed the priest to his church, where he, accompanied by 4 helpers made his ceremonials, 20 believers in the church (kissing ritually the priest's hands and the bible-cover); during thousands of tourists were sleeping in their beds at the same time, juke-boxes sleeping too, cruise-ships not yet landed, only working outside: the donkeys, carrying loads for the hotels. But inside the church: we had the chance to feel like 1000 years back in time... View On Black
My m7b1 priest based on my Sherman chassis. Yes it is a reupload but only because a bunch of my pictures got deleted.

Processed this with a custom preset I titled Roman Nose. I have a normal version, and a light version. It's been fun to develop this and I like the results it gives.
Priests from the Order of the Ember Veil approach the underground city where the royals fled during the epic fire that destroyed Virellae. Their leader Telvian Rauth is reputed to have summoned the fire that destroyed the city. Generations later the priests still carry the guilt of the fire and make annual pilgrimages to the city to seek atonement from the queen. She has yet to recognize them.

Majuli is the world's biggest riverine island and a principal place of pilgrimage for the Vaishnavites of Assam since the Ahom days. There are several Satras of Vaishnava religious creed. Of these holy seats, Auniati, Daksinpath, Garamur and Kamlabari are the four most prominent. What is of special importance is its satra establishment, consisting of separate structures, built for different purposes.
A few steps down Priest Lane, off the old main route from York to Chester, you’ll find the Old Bridge Inn. One of the oldest pubs in the county.
Early records show the pub’s been there for 700 years and more asides. Originally the home of a Yeoman Clothier, Robert Brigge of Soland.
His family owned a small fulling mill on the opposite bank of the river Ryburn that flows past the pub. Tenants in the area took to weaving cloth or brewing ale to make ends meet.
Inside the pub, that to this day maintains much of its original character, you’ll maybe happen across an old stone font. The font belonged to the neighbouring church of St Bartholomew’s, until 1722 that is. In May of that year there was great flood that washed away the north end of the church and deposited the font in the river. The residents of the pub salvaged the font and refused to hand it back. No doubt the idea of ‘wetting the babies head’ has occurred to many a visitor ever since!
Portrait of a Voodoo priest inside a temple (Benin).
Benin is the birthplace of Voodoo, a deeply spiritual and complex belief system that connects people with the divine, nature, and their ancestors. Voodoo is a way of life, blending rituals, music, and dance to honor spirits.
At the heart of Voodoo is Mawu-Lisa, the supreme deity, representing the balance between feminine and masculine energies. Below Mawu a pantheon of spirits or deities, known as Vodun, each governing different aspects of life such as fertility, the sea, healing, and justice.
Voodoo is more than a religion, it is a philosophy, a healing practice, and a way of understanding the universe. It guides daily life, resolving conflicts, ensuring good health, and bringing harmony to communities. Today, Voodoo remains a powerful force in Benin, shaping identity and culture while coexisting with other belief systems.

Portrait of the elderly priest of the Temple of Thunder (Benin)
The Thunder Temple is a sacred place devoted to Hevioso, the powerful god of thunder, justice, and fertility in Vodun tradition.
Known as the bringer of storms and balance, Hevioso's might is said to strike like lightning, both metaphorically and literally.
In this spiritual practice, those struck by lightning are considered to have been directly touched by the god. Some believe it is a sign of punishment, while others see it as a divine calling.
The Thunder Temple is not just a place of worship; it’s a gateway to understanding the Vodun belief system, where nature’s fury is seen as sacred and life is deeply intertwined with the elements.
