Sagrada Família, Barcelona, España.
El Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia, conocido simplemente como la Sagrada Familia, es una basílica católica de Barcelona (España), diseñada por el arquitecto Antoni Gaudí. Iniciada en 1882, todavía está en construcción (noviembre de 2016). Es la obra maestra de Gaudí, y el máximo exponente de la arquitectura modernista catalana.
La Sagrada Familia es un reflejo de la plenitud artística de Gaudí: trabajó en ella durante la mayor parte de su carrera profesional, pero especialmente en los últimos años de su carrera, donde llegó a la culminación de su estilo naturalista, haciendo una síntesis de todas las soluciones y estilos probados hasta aquel entonces. Gaudí logró una perfecta armonía en la interrelación entre los elementos estructurales y los ornamentales, entre plástica y estética, entre función y forma, entre contenido y continente, logrando la integración de todas las artes en un todo estructurado y lógico.
La Sagrada Familia tiene planta de cruz latina, de cinco naves centrales y transepto de tres naves, y ábside con siete capillas. Ostenta tres fachadas dedicadas al Nacimiento, Pasión y Gloria de Jesús y, cuando esté concluida, tendrá 18 torres: cuatro en cada portal haciendo un total de doce por los apóstoles, cuatro sobre el crucero invocando a los evangelistas, una sobre el ábside dedicada a la Virgen y la torre-cimborio central en honor a Jesús, que alcanzará los 172,5 metros de altura. El templo dispondrá de dos sacristías junto al ábside, y de tres grandes capillas: la de la Asunción en el ábside y las del Bautismo y la Penitencia junto a la fachada principal; asimismo, estará rodeado de un claustro pensado para las procesiones y para aislar el templo del exterior. Gaudí aplicó a la Sagrada Familia un alto contenido simbólico, tanto en arquitectura como en escultura, dedicando a cada parte del templo un significado religioso.
The Expiatory Church of the Sagrada Familia, known simply as the Sagrada Familia, is a Roman Catholic basilica in Barcelona, Spain, designed by architect Antoni Gaudí. Begun in 1882, it is still under construction (November 2016). It is Gaudí's masterpiece and the greatest exponent of Catalan modernist architecture.
The Sagrada Familia is a reflection of Gaudí's artistic plenitude: he worked on it for most of his professional career, but especially in his later years, where he reached the culmination of his naturalistic style, synthesizing all the solutions and styles he had tried up to that point. Gaudí achieved perfect harmony in the interrelationship between structural and ornamental elements, between plasticity and aesthetics, between function and form, between content and container, achieving the integration of all the arts into a structured and logical whole. The Sagrada Familia has a Latin cross plan, five central naves, a three-aisled transept, and an apse with seven chapels. It boasts three façades dedicated to the Birth, Passion, and Glory of Jesus. When completed, it will have 18 towers: four at each portal, making a total of twelve for the apostles, four over the transept invoking the evangelists, one over the apse dedicated to the Virgin, and the central dome tower in honor of Jesus, which will reach 172.5 meters in height. The temple will have two sacristies next to the apse and three large chapels: the Assumption Chapel in the apse and the Baptism and Penance Chapels next to the main façade. It will also be surrounded by a cloister designed for processions and to isolate the temple from the exterior. Gaudí applied a highly symbolic content to the Sagrada Familia, both in architecture and sculpture, dedicating each part of the temple to a religious significance.
Fountains Abbey, near Ripon, Yorkshire, England
Founded in 1132 Fountains Abbey is one of the largest and best preserved ruined Cistercian monasteries in England. The Abbey operated until 1139. It is now a National Trust (NT) property.
Au VIIe siècle (vers 630-640), le roi Dagobert Ier donne au moine Amand des terres, situées entre deux rivières, la Scarpe et l’Elnon, pour y fonder un monastère.
A la mort du moine Amand, vers 670, l’abbaye de Saint-Amand n’était encore qu’un petit monastère. 150 ans plus tard, dès le IXème siècle, elle se situe parmi les plus importantes abbayes du royaume carolingien (qui est dirigé par le roi des Francs («Charlemagne»).
La Tour, ancienne entrée de l’église abbatiale, haute de 82 mètres, fut construite de 1626 à 1640. Entourée de deux petites tourelles, son architecture est spécifique de la région des Flandres et du département du nord.
La légende raconte qu’au 6ème siècle le jeune moine Amand, fondateur de la ville, réussit grâce à l’aide de Dieu à terrasser un énorme serpent.
A l’intérieur se trouve le Musée de la Tour Abbatiale où sont exposées les faïences amandinoises, notamment de belles productions locales du 18ème siècle.
Au sommet de la Tour, les mélodies des 48 cloches du carillon datant de 1640 résonnent dans la ville de Saint-Amand-les-Eaux grâce aux petits carrés creusés dans la pierre. Cette tradition bien ancrée dans le département du nord trouve son origine au 18ème siècle, époque à laquelle les moines jouaient du carillon pour les cérémonies religieuses. De nos jours, une école de carillonneurs existe à Saint-Amand-les-Eaux.
In the 7th century (around 630-640), King Dagobert I gave the monk Amand land, located between two rivers, the Scarpe and the Elnon, to found a monastery.
At the death of the monk Amand, around 670, the abbey of Saint-Amand was still only a small monastery. 150 years later, as early as the 9th century, it was one of the most important abbeys in the Carolingian kingdom (which was ruled by the King of the Franks (“Charlemagne”).
The Tower, former entrance of the abbey church, 82 meters high, was built from 1626 to 1640. Surrounded by two small turrets, its architecture is specific to the region of Flanders and the department of the north.
Legend has it that in the 6th century the young monk Amand, the founder of the city, succeeded thanks to God’s help in bringing down a huge snake.
Inside is the Abbatial Tower Museum where Almond earthenware is exhibited, including beautiful local productions of the 18th century.
At the top of the Tower, the melodies of the 48 bells of the carillon dating from 1640 resonate in the city of Saint-Amand-les-Eaux thanks to the small squares dug in the stone. This tradition, well established in the Northern Department, dates back to the 18th century, when monks played carillon for religious ceremonies. Today, a carillonneur school exists in Saint-Amand-les-Eaux.
The Monastery and Spiritual Retreat of San Sosio Martire in the territory of Falvaterra was founded by Saint Paul of the Cross on 2 April 1751, under the tutelage of the Benedictines. Currently run by the Passionist Fathers to welcome priests, religious and lay people who want to gather to pray.
The MIRACULOUS STAIRS in Santa Fe New Mexico USA.
The stairs have a very interesting story that I recommend reading on-line.
The stairs were made without nails, screws, or glue. Their is no center post and it is free standing with wood that is not indigenous in the USA.
It was made by a carpenter who no one knows, knocked at the door of the chapel asking if they wanted stairs to be built so that they can get to the loft after the nuns had a novena to St. Joseph asking for the stairs. The carpenter left without asking or receiving anything for his labor when the stairs was completed.
The stairs was initially built without railings. The railings were added a few years after.
The stairs was used by the choir for 100 years.
St. Stephen's Cathedral (more commonly known by its German title: Stephansdom) is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vienna and the seat of the Archbishop of Vienna, Christoph Cardinal Schönborn, OP.
The current Romanesque and Gothic form of the cathedral, seen today in the Stephansplatz, was largely initiated by Duke Rudolf IV (1339–1365) and stands on the ruins of two earlier churches, the first a parish church consecrated in 1147.
The most important religious building in Vienna, St. Stephen's Cathedral has borne witness to many important events in Habsburg and Austrian history and has, with its multi-coloured tile roof, become one of the city's most recognizable symbols.
…and trying to survive, do the intense work of healing and striving to live a healthy balance of grace and truth.

Or, the separation of church and foyer. I found this 'ghost town' relic, along with a few other abandoned buildings, while seeking out old grain elevators in rural Saskatchewan. The foyer is separating from the main body of the church. Like most of the buildings in the former town, the church (and the elevators) was in very bad condition.
The Waag ("weigh house") is a 15th-century building, the oldest remaining non-religious building in Amsterdam

Amanita muscaria, commonly known as the fly agaric or fly amanita, is a basidiomycete mushroom, one of many in the genus Amanita. It is also a muscimol mushroom. Native throughout the temperate and boreal regions of the Northern Hemisphere, Amanita muscaria has been unintentionally introduced to many countries in the Southern Hemisphere, generally as a symbiont with pine and birch plantations, and is now a true cosmopolitan species. It associates with various deciduous and coniferous trees.
Arguably the most iconic toadstool species, the fly agaric is a large white-gilled, white-spotted, usually red mushroom, and is one of the most recognisable and widely encountered in popular culture.
Although classified as poisonous, reports of human deaths resulting from its ingestion are extremely rare. After parboiling—which weakens its toxicity and breaks down the mushroom's psychoactive substances—it is eaten in parts of Europe, Asia, and North America. Amanita muscaria is noted for its hallucinogenic properties, with its main psychoactive constituents being the compounds ibotenic acid and muscimol. The mushroom was used as an intoxicant and entheogen by the peoples of Siberia, and has a religious significance in these cultures. There has been much speculation on possible traditional use of this mushroom as an intoxicant in other places such as the Middle East, Eurasia, North America, and Scandinavia.

Oh, I want you to know I’m okay,
I just need to know that you’re waiting
You’re waiting for me
The cross here is very special for me. That’s the only religious sign I wear on. The Ankh is the symbol of love between man and woman and a symbol of Eternity, of life beyond life (like the Infinity symbol In Mathematics). It’s also very similar of the symbol of Venus.
It could be the symbol of Eternal Love.
Inspired from this song, beautiful, full of sadness and melancholy
