It is the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne and of the administration of the Archdiocese of Cologne. It is a renowned monument of German Catholicism and Gothic architecture and was declared a World Heritage Site in 1996. It is Germany's most visited landmark, attracting an average of 20,000 people a day, currently the tallest twin-spired church at 157 m (515 ft) tall.
Construction of Cologne Cathedral commenced in 1248 and was halted in 1473, leaving it unfinished. Work restarted in the 19th century and was completed, to the original plan, in 1880.
The cathedral is the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe and has the second-tallest spires. The towers for its two huge spires give the cathedral the largest façade of any church in the world. The choir has the largest height to width ratio, 3.6:1, of any medieval church.
Cologne's medieval builders had planned a grand structure to house the reliquary of the Three Kings and fit its role as a place of worship for the Holy Roman Emperor. Despite having been left incomplete during the medieval period, Cologne Cathedral eventually became unified as "a masterpiece of exceptional intrinsic value" and "a powerful testimony to the strength and persistence of Christian belief in medieval and modern Europe"

Fotografía del "Mihrab" capturada en el interior de la Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba. "El mihrab" es como se designa un nicho u hornacina en arabe. Consta de un pequeño espacio interno precedido por un arco (normalmente de herradura) o a veces, como en la Mezquita de Córdoba, una pequeña habitación que en las mezquitas, indica el lugar hacia donde hay que mirar cuando se reza. El mihrab está ubicado en el muro de la alquibla, en las mezquitas está orientado normalmente hacia la ciudad de La Meca y se le considera el Sancta Sanctorum de estos lugares de oración. Es variable en tamaño y suele estar ricamente decorado (En el caso de esta mezquita se dice que en este muro y en la cúpula que se ve delante de esta entrada, se utilizaron quinientos kilos de oro) y se diseña para dar la impresión de una puerta, o un pasaje a La Meca.
En las mezquitas de Al-Andalus "El Mihrab" no solía orientarse hacia el este, como en el resto del mundo islámico, sino hacia el sur o el sudeste. Así ocurre por ejemplo en la Mezquita de Córdoba, habiéndose sugerido diversas hipótesis sobre esta orientación.

The Mihrab is how a niche or niche is designated in Arabic. It consists of a small internal space preceded by an arch (normally a horseshoe). Sometimes, as in the Mezquita de Córdoba, a small room, which in mosques indicates the place to look when praying. The mihrab is located in the kiblah wall which is normally oriented towards the city of Mecca and is considered the Holy of Holies of the mosque. It is variable in size and is often richly decorated (In the case of this mosque it is said that five hundred kilos of gold was used on this wall and on the dome in front of this entrance) and is designed to give the impression of a door. , or a passage to Mecca. In the mosques of Al-Andalus "El Mihrab" did not tend to face east, as in the rest of the Islamic world, but to the south or southeast. This is the case, for example, in the Mosque of Córdoba, and various hypotheses have been suggested about this orientation.

All Saints' Day (Latin Sollemnitas Omnium Sanctorum) is a Christian feast commemorating all the saints, the "glorified members of the Church who have already reached perfection," both known and unknown. The feast is celebrated in the Western Church on November 1, and in the Orthodox Churches on the first Sunday after Pentecost.
Many people visit the graves of their relatives on this day and the following All Souls' Day. All Souls' Day in the Catholic Church is the day of remembrance for all the deceased. It is a widespread custom to decorate the graves with lights on these days.
On the eve, October 31, in the United States and many countries of Europe folk customs are celebrated Halloween. The word Halloween is derived from the English term All Hallows Eve, the liturgical eve of All Saints' Day. In its current form, which has come back from North America, it has taken on a highly commercialized and secularized form.
So today my minds are with my father! He past away almost 3 years ago.
You past away but my memories still are here. And a person is just gone if we do not think about him anymore. Soon, the 14th of November is your Birthday and i keep our lifetime moments in my heart!
Today marks the anniversary of the day when nothing was the same anymore. From one second to the next, my world was torn apart. Since then, nothing is as it was and I'm just coming home from the cemetery. You fought for your life for a few weeks back then - but in the end the other side won! Weeks full of hope and fear were in vain. But time passes and yet life must go on without you. Today I miss you so much. All the memories come flooding back. Very emotional. And whenever I can't find words anymore I try to express myself with pictures. There would be so many things to tell. But it was no longer granted to us. You will always be in my heart - my beloved dad!
Tracks in the sand
One night I had a dream:
I was walking along the sea with my master.
Against the dark night sky
shone, like streaks of light,
images from my life.
And each time I saw two footprints in the sand,
my own and my master's.
When the last image passed my eyes
I looked back.
I was startled to discover
that in many places of my life's journey
there was only a trace to be seen.
And those were the hardest times of my life.
Concerned, I asked the Lord:
"Lord, when I began to follow you,
you promised me
to be with me in all my ways.
But now I discover
that in the hardest times of my life
there is only a trace in the sand.
Why did you leave me alone
when I needed you most?"
Then he answered, "My dear child,
I love you and will never leave you alone,
especially in times of need and difficulty.
There, where you have seen only a trace
you have seen,
I have carried you."

The Golden Temple, also known as Harmandir Sahib, meaning "abode of God" or Darbār Sahib, meaning "exalted court" , is a Gurdwara located in the city of Amritsar, Punjab, India.[It is the holiest Gurdwara and the most important pilgrimage site of Sikhism.
The temple is built around a man-made pool (sarovar) that was completed by Guru Ram Das in 1577. Guru Arjan – the fifth Guru of Sikhism, requested Sai Mir Mian Mohammed – a Muslim Pir of Lahore to lay its foundation stone in 1589. In 1604, Guru Arjan placed a copy of the Adi Granth in Harmandir Sahib, calling the site Ath Sath Tirath (lit. "shrine of 68 pilgrimages"). The temple was repeatedly rebuilt by the Sikhs after it became a target of persecution and was destroyed several times by the Muslim armies from Afghanistan and the Mughal Empire. Maharaja Ranjit Singh after founding the Sikh Empire, rebuilt it in marble and copper in 1809, overlaid the sanctum with gold foil in 1830. This has led to the name the Golden Temple.
This photo was taken during late evening, and has two friends engaged on cellphone , even when they are in one of the holiest shrine of humanity. A couple is just gazing at the temple, a lady is standing perhaps to take a cellphone photo and one gent is just sitting idly. Both mundane and religion go together. One can also see on the left the long queue of pilgrims waiting patiently for their opportunity to go inside the sanctum sanctorum of the temple. Everyone inside this temple complex has to be bare footed and has to compulsorily cover one's head.

Hey guys!! I'm so sorry for not being uploading much lately. And I'm sorry because I can't make the X-Men figures I promised :'( But, I've been making some figs and I'm pretty sure you'll like them. So here is my Sanctum Sanctorum from Doctor Strange. It's based on the concept art Marvel revealed months ago. Hope you like it! :)

The Sun Temple at Modhera, Gujarat, India - a temple dedicated to the Sun - was built around 1026 CE, by King Bhimdev of the Solanki dynasty.
On the right the sabha-mandapa (assembly hall), on the left the gudha-mandapa (prayer hall).
This is the south face of the structures.
The sabha-mandapa, also known as ranga-mandapa (theatre hall) is a parallelogram in plan, its vertices aligned along the east-west and north-south axis. Some say it's an octagen in plan, because the entrances to the structure are at these vertices, giving it the impression of it being 8 sided.
There are 52 intricately carved pillars within the sabha-mandapa, 8 of which hold up a magnificent dome.
The gudha-mandapa is rectangular in shape, measuring 51 feet 9 inches by 25 feet and 8 inches. Within is the garbagriha (sanctum sanctorum) measuring 11 feet square.
The entrace to the gudha-mandapa is from the east.

A shining example of the patronage given by Hoysala kings to the talented sculptors of that era, every square inch of the main Sanctum Sanctorum is filled with exquisite carvings. Each carving tells a unique story.

Aquarius (January 20- February 18) for renquedochan
No one really knows when the Piscean Age ends and the Aquarian Age begins. Astrologers have been arguing about the issue for years. But here's what to watch for: When the transition gets underway, fewer and fewer people will be invested in belief systems, and an ever-growing contingent will thrive on asking questions and keeping an open mind. For those of us in the latter category -- the Aquarian Agers -- we will prize the virtues of curiosity. We will avoid being addicted to dogmatic theories and rigid certainties, knowing that they tend to shut down our fluid intelligence. We will get a kick out of shedding our own emotional biases so that we can strive to be more objective in our understanding of the ever-evolving truth. I mention this, Aquarius, because it is an excellent time for you to charge headlong toward the Aquarian Age.
Ariete (21 marzo - 19 aprile)
Il terremoto che colpì San Francisco nel 1906 distrusse anche la città di Santa Rosa. Durante i lavori di ricostruzione, Frank Doyle – un uomo d'affari che si definiva un "paladino del futuro" – fece una proposta avveniristica. "La nuova strada che attraversa Santa Rosa dovrà essere più ampia", disse Doyle. "Così ci sarà spazio anche per quella novità tecnologica chiamata automobile". Prendi a esempio la sua lungimiranza, Ariete. Quando ricostruirai e rinnoverai il tuo mondo, crea l'equivalente metaforico di una strada più ampia. Diventa un paladino del futuro.
Toro (20 aprile - 20 maggio)
Alcuni alchimisti medievali cercarono di arricchirsi trasformando il piombo in oro. Ma i veri professionisti del settore erano interessati a esperimenti più raffinati, come sviluppare e abbellire il lato oscuro della loro mente. Il loro motto era: "Perché i rami di un albero raggiungano il cielo, le sue radici devono arrivare all'inferno". Questo significa, Toro, che per poter acquisire conoscenze e poteri spirituali più elevati dovrai scavare in profondità ed eliminare le tue caratteristiche meno attraenti. Le prossime settimane saranno un momento ottimo per realizzare quest'alchimia.
Gemelli (21 maggio - 20 giugno)
L'entomologo Justin O. Schmidt ha compilato un indice del dolore provocato dalle varie punture di insetti. Quella di un calabrone è "intensa, vigorosa, stritolante, simile al dolore che si prova quando la mano ti rimane incastrata in una porta girevole". La puntura di una vespa è "corrosiva e bruciante" con un "retrogusto amaro, come quando ti versi dell'acido muriatico su un taglio che ti sei fatto con la carta". L'ape, invece, può colpirti in modo "leggero, effimero, quasi fruttato: una piccola scintilla che ti brucia un pelo del braccio". Ti dico questo, Gemelli, nella speranza di risvegliare la tua anima ribelle. Il tuo compito è creare un indice altrettanto preciso e ricco di sfumature delle esperienze che ti fanno stare bene. Se proverai a elencare e a descrivere nei minimi dettagli le forme di piacere che hai a disposizione, accederai a enormi riserve di intelligenza.
Cancro (21 giugno - 22 luglio)
Un video su YouTube mostra un piccolo granchio appollaiato su una medusa gigantesca che nuota nel mare. A quanto pare succede spesso: i granchi della specie Cancer gracilis viaggiano gratis sulle meduse e gli rubano il cibo. Questa creatura dovrà essere il tuo modello, Cancerino. Cerca di sviluppare un rapporto simbiotico (anche temporaneo) con una grande creatura informe e urticante. O almeno cerca di scroccare qualche favore da un gigante sprovveduto.
Leone (23 luglio - 22 agosto)
"C'è un modo salutare di giocare d'azzardo: basta usare una vanga e una busta di semi", dice il comico Dan Bennett. Il tuo compito, Leone, è trovare altre tre forme di azzardo intelligente. Stai entrando in una fase del ciclo astrale particolare: se lascerai la tua zona di sicurezza e ti avventurerai oltrefrontiera, sarai ampiamente ricompensato. Per farlo dovrai armarti di astuzia e di una visione realistica (ma non cinica) del mondo. Ti prego, evita le imprese avventate, gli spari nel buio e i salti nell'ignoto dettati da una fede cieca.
Vergine (23 agosto - 22 settembre)
Qualche anno fa, uno scienziato polacco che lavorava in Antartide aveva così tanta nostalgia della sua donna che disegnò sul terreno ghiacciato una grande M con lo sterco di pinguino. Era la prima lettera del nome della sua amata, Magda. Grazie al potere fertilizzante degli escrementi, ancora oggi sulla M crescono due specie di piante da fiore. Il tuo compito per la prossima settimana, Vergine, è creare qualcosa di altrettanto unico e duraturo per qualcuno a cui tieni davvero.
Bilancia (23 settembre - 22 ottobre)
Se nei prossimi giorni ti troverai a guidare in autostrada, avrai più probabilità del solito di imbatterti nel punto in cui un camion ha perso alcune tonnellate di patatine fritte, migliaia di bottiglie di birra o un enorme carico di giocattoli erotici. Infatti, secondo la mia analisi dei presagi astrali, avrai a disposizione una risorsa troppo abbondante, che non ti appartiene o di cui non hai bisogno. E una delle forme che potrebbe assumere è proprio quella di un carico disperso. Che dovrai fare? Non lasciarti distrarre e continua a cercare quello che ti serve davvero nelle giuste quantità.
Scorpione (23 ottobre - 21 novembre)
Dopo un'attenta analisi, sono arrivato alla seguente conclusione: non dovrai scontare neanche un giorno all'inferno per le distruzioni terapeutiche che scatenerai questa settimana. Sempre secondo le mie ricerche astrali, è probabile che, sganciando le tue bombe, guadagnerai del credito karmico invece di perderlo. Però ti avverto: questi trattamenti d'urto dovranno nascere dall'amore, non dalla sete di potere. Inoltre assicurati di distruggere solo cose che non si possono più riparare o che causano dolore. E cerca di elaborare un piano per costruire qualcosa di nuovo e scintillante al posto di quello che è andato perduto.
Sagittario (22 novembre - 21 dicembre)
"Il mare che spesso ci minaccia talvolta è anche misericordioso", dice Ferdinando nella Tempesta di Shakespeare. "Ingiustamente l'avevo maledetto". Ti prego di considerare la possibilità di fare una dichiarazione simile a proposito di un elemento del tuo mondo. Cosa conosci di selvaggio e allo stesso tempo benefico? O di così primordiale da farti ritrovare le tue radici più profonde e ricordare cos'è veramente importante?
Capricorno (22 dicembre - 19 gennaio)
Studia bene queste parole: rifugio, santuario, bunker, asilo, fortezza, porto sicuro, riparo, zona di sicurezza, cantina, nascondiglio, ritiro, casa-famiglia, chiostro, cella, ashram, circolo privato, tana, trincea, nido, pozzo, sancta sanctorum. Ti serviranno a spiegare come pensi di aumentare la tua libertà e la tua sicurezza. Per esempio: "Quando avrò voglia di starmene da solo per rinnovarmi, mi rifugerò in un porto sicuro, non in un bunker". O "se avrò bisogno di sfuggire alla follia che mi circonda, andrò in pellegrinaggio in un santuario, non mi chiuderò in trincea".
Acquario (20 gennaio - 18 febbraio)
Gli astrologi discutono da anni su quando finirà l'era dei Pesci e comincerà quella dell'Acquario, ma nessuno lo sa veramente. Sappiamo, però, che dovremo stare attenti ad alcuni segnali: quando comincerà la transizione, diminuiranno le persone che accettano un sistema di credenze e aumenteranno quelle dalla mente aperta, pronte a fare sempre nuove domande. Chi fa parte della seconda categoria, gli Acquariani, apprezzerà la curiosità. Eviterà le teorie dogmatiche e le certezze incrollabili, sapendo che offuscano la nostra intelligenza. Proverà piacere a liberarsi da ogni pregiudizio emotivo per dedicarsi con maggiore obiettività alla ricerca di una verità in continua evoluzione. Te lo dico, Acquario, perché è il momento di gettarti a capofitto in questa nuova era.
Pesci (19 febbraio - 20 marzo)
Negli ultimi anni alcuni dei più fortunati best seller giapponesi sono stati scritti sui cellulari. Le dimensioni ridotte dello schermo favoriscono uno stile conciso. Le lunghe descrizioni sono rare e lo sviluppo dei personaggi è molto rapido. Sono convinto che nelle prossime settimane avrai una capacità simile a quella dei romanzieri da cellulare, Pesci. Sarai capace di comprimere materiale complesso in forme più semplici. Avrai il dono di essere molto creativo e al tempo stesso di eliminare i fronzoli per ridurre tutto all'essenziale.
Mihrab (en árabe: محراب) es como se designa un nicho u hornacina. Consta de un pequeño espacio interno precedido por un arco (normalmente de herradura) o a veces, como en la Mezquita de Córdoba, una pequeña habitación, que en las mezquitas indica el lugar hacia donde hay que mirar cuando se reza. El mihrab está ubicado en el muro de la quibla el cual está orientado normalmente hacia la ciudad de La Meca. Se le considera el Sancta sanctorum de la mezquita.
El mihrab, que varía en tamaño, suele estar ricamente decorado y se diseña a menudo para dar la impresión de una puerta con arcos o un pasaje a La Meca.
En las mezquitas de Al-Andalus el mihrab no solía orientarse hacia el este, como en el resto del mundo islámico, sino hacia el sur o el sudeste. Así ocurre por ejemplo en la mezquita de Córdoba, habiéndose sugerido diversas hipótesis a esta orientación.
Allerheiligen (Sollemnitas Omnium Sanctorum in het Latijn) is een christelijk feest dat op 1 november valt en gevierd wordt onder katholieken en anglicanen. In de Katholieke Kerk is het een hoogfeest. Ook de Oosters-orthodoxe Kerk kent het feest, maar op de eerste zondag na Pinksteren, mogelijk in navolging van de Lemuria, gevierd op 13 mei. De feestdag viert de nagedachtenis aan alle heiligen en martelaren.
De volgende dag wordt Allerzielen gevierd. Het is aannemelijk dat men tijdens de kerstening van Europa het feest van Allerheiligen is gaan vieren rond de periode van een oorspronkelijk heidens feest Samhain dat ter nagedachtenis van de doden werd gehouden. In 837 riep paus Gregorius IV 1 november uit als de katholieke gedenkdag.

There were apparently only 2,000 monks in 1959.
Ganden Monastery was completely destroyed by the People's Liberation Army during the 1959 Tibetan uprising. In 1966 it was severely shelled by Red Guard artillery, and monks had to dismantle the remains. The buildings were reduced to rubble using dynamite during the Cultural Revolution (1966–76). Most of Tsongkhapa's mummified body was burned, but his skull and some ashes were saved from the fire by Bomi Rinpoche, the monk who had been forced to carry the body to the fire.
Re-building has continued since the 1980s. Early in 1996, after a ban had been imposed on pictures of the Dalai Lama, 400 monks at Ganden rioted. They were fired upon by PLA troops, apparently causing two deaths and several injuries, followed by the arrest of one hundred monks. As of 2012 there were about 400 monks, and rapid progress was being made on rebuilding the monastery. The red-painted lhakang in the centre is the reconstruction of Ganden's sanctum sanctorum containing Tsongkapa's reliquary chorten called the Tongwa Donden, "Meaningful to Behold."
Allerheiligen (lateinisch Festum Omnium Sanctorum) ist ein christliches Fest, an dem aller Heiligen gedacht wird, der „verherrlichten Glieder der Kirche, die schon zur Vollendung gelangt sind“, der bekannten wie der unbekannten.] Das Fest wird in der Westkirche am 1. November begangen, in den orthodoxen Kirchen am ersten Sonntag nach Pfingsten. -wikipedia-
Wünsche euch einen schönen Sonntag !!
