The Prophet's Mosque in Medina is showcased by its iconic white minarets and domes against a clear blue sky. The expansive plaza exudes tranquillity, merging Islamic architectural grandeur with a peaceful, spiritual ambience—a revered site of immense cultural and religious significance.
The Prophet's Mosque, or Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, in Medina, Saudi Arabia, is one of the most revered sites in Islam. Established by the Prophet Muhammad himself in 622 CE, it serves as his final resting place, with his tomb situated beneath the Green Dome, a prominent feature of the mosque. Over the centuries, the mosque has undergone several expansions and renovations, transforming it into a magnificent architectural marvel that can accommodate millions of worshippers, especially during the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages. It is not only a place of deep spiritual significance but also a symbol of unity and peace for Muslims around the world.
Antonio Circignani called Pomarancio (Città della Pieve, 1560 - 1620) - Hall of the Prophet Daniel (early 1600) Villa Fabri, Trevi
Al centro della volta è raffigurato il banchetto del re Baldassar con i suoi dignitari. Mentre brindano appare una mano che scrive sul muro tre parole: Mane, Thecel, Phares.
Il re spaventato chiamò saggi, re, astrologi, caldei ed indovini ma nessuno seppe dare significato alle parole. A questo punto entra in scena la regina, raffigurata in piedi in fondo alla tavola, che chiede al re di invitare Daniele per sciogliere le parole.
MANE: Dio ha compiuto il tuo regno e gli ha posto fine.
THECEL: Tu sei stato pesato sulle bilance e sei stato trovato mancante.
PHARE: Il tuo regno è diviso e dato ai Medi e ai Persiani.
In the centre of the vault is the banquet of King Baldassar with his dignitaries. While they are toasting, a hand appears writing three words on the wall: Mane, Thecel, Phares.
The frightened king called sages, kings, astrologers, Chaldeans and soothsayers but no one could give meaning to the words. At this point the queen enters the scene, depicted standing at the bottom of the table, asking the king to invite Daniel to dissolve the words.
MANE: God has accomplished your kingdom and put an end to it.
THECEL: You were weighed on the scales and found lacking.
PHARE: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.
The temple in honor of the Prophet of God Samuel is located in the historical center of Voronezh, to the left of the gate leading to the Ascension Cemetery. The temple is 26.1 m high and is made in the Baroque style, the architectural form is ship. It was built in 1808 with the participation of the merchant Samuil Nikitich Meshcheryakov. The merchant was popularly called Cast Iron for his physical strength. Next to the temple was the Ascension Cemetery, people called it Chugunovsky after the nickname of the merchant-benefactor.
Next to the Church of Samuel the Prophet there was a cemetery church - the Ascension Church (with two boundaries in the name of the Holy Apostle John the Theologian and in honor of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God). The church was made of stone in the classical style, had a three-tiered bell tower. The temple was built in 1808-1813. Services in it were held exclusively in the summer, since the building was not heated in winter. Divine services in the Ascension and in the name of Samuel the Prophet churches were performed by the same clergy - both churches belonged to the same parish, making up a temple complex.
Since the XIX century, the Chugunovskoye cemetery has been the largest in Voronezh. In fact, it had several subdivisions: on the right there were Lutheran burials (the territory of the modern Television Center), in the center there was a military cemetery (modern Third International Street), to the left the sick and prisoners were buried (not far from the city prison).
During the years of Soviet power, the fight against religion began, churches began to be closed and destroyed. In 1929, the Ascension Church was closed. At first, it housed housing, and later - workshops. The temple in the name of Samuel the Prophet in 1930 turned into a shelter for homeless children. The destruction of the Chugunovskoye cemetery began in 1931.
During the Great Patriotic War, the temple building was badly damaged. Since 1943, a glass factory was located in the church building. In 1951, the plant was closed, the Ascension Church was empty and they began to dismantle it into bricks. By the end of the 1950s, it was completely destroyed.
In 1960, the construction of the Yubileyny sports complex began on the territory of the former Chugunovsky cemetery. In the early 1990s, the dilapidated building of the Samuel Temple housed the workshops of artists and sculptors.
In 1993, the temple was transferred to the jurisdiction of the Voronezh diocese. On May 27, 1996, the first service was held in the Samuel Church - a memorial service for the border guards who died during the Great Patriotic War. On May 24, 1998, a memorial plaque installed on the outer wall to the border guards was consecrated.
On December 4, 1999, Archpriest Peter Petrov consecrated a stele-monument to the fallen border guards near the temple. In 2001, the reconstruction of the church was completed, during which the second tier was added, the interiors of the temple and the surrounding area were arranged.
At present, the operating Samuel Church is a monument to the border guards who died defending the borders of the Motherland and at the same time a memorial to all those buried at the Ascension cemetery.
One of the workers-masons invited to restore the destroyed temple of the Prophet Samuel said that in ancient years he was invited here, only with a different mission: to destroy the walls remaining from the temple, He worked on a crane with a suspended special weight in the form of a ball, from the blows of which the walls were supposed to turn into debris. But, apparently. through the prayers of the holy Prophet Samuel, the walls were held. And our mason, the destroyer, by the will of God, became the restorer of the shrine. Truly: "a time to destroy, and a time to build..." (Ecclesiastes 3:3).
Divine services have been held in the temple for many years, parishioners and benefactors provide all possible assistance in the revival of the shrine.

On April 27, 2016, the Head of the Voronezh Metropolia, His Eminence Sergius, Metropolitan of Voronezh and Liski, consecrated the domes and crosses for the dome of the church under restoration.
The great consecration of the revived church in honor of the Prophet of God Samuel was performed by Metropolitan Sergiy of Voronezh and Liski on September 2, 2016.
Then Almitra spoke, saying, "We would ask now of Death."
And he said............
"You would know the secret of death.
But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?
The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light.
If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life.
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one..."

"Then said I: 'Lord, how long?' And He answered: 'Until cities be waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land become utterly waste"
(Isaiah, 6: 11)
There is only one wizarding newspaper in Britain, discounting such small circulation publications such as The Quibbler. The Daily Prophet, whose headquarters are in Diagon Alley, is delivered by owl on a daily basis to nearly every wizarding household in Britain. Payment is effected by placing coins in the pouch tied to the paper-owl's leg. Occasionally (when something particularly interesting or exciting happens, such as the illegal flight of a Ford Anglia the length of Britain) an Evening Prophet edition will be rushed out.
Michael was singing with his guitar when I approached him. He noticed my camera and to my surprise he asked me if I'd like to take some photos of him. The 5-minute build up of adrenaline seemed to have been unnecessary.
He asked me if it's gonna be a colour or black-and-white, to which I replied definitely a black-and-white. He smiled and said he always prefers that format. He also warned me not to use flash if I want him to look at the camera.
As if there hadn't been enough surprises, he also took a small book out of his T-Shirt and insisted that I keep it. He then claimed to be a prophet and started talking about the upcoming armageddon and how his book would help me understand it. Going through the book at home, it turns out that Michael holds double degrees and have some interest in astrophotography.
I had taken quite a few shots when I asked him if I could take one last shot before the goodbye. To my delight this last shot happens to be my favourite too. There's something about his thoughtful stare, and of course I love how the wind blows his hair slightly here.

God from eternity, decrees or permits all things that come to pass, and perpetually upholds, directs and governs all creatures and all events; yet so as not in any wise to be the author or approver of sin nor to destroy the free agency and responsibility of intelligent creatures
