The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is one of the main sights of Saint Petersburg. Other names include the Church on Spilled Blood the Temple of the Savior on Spilled Blood and the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ.
Erected on the site where political nihilists fatally wounded Emperor Alexander II in March 1881, the church was constructed between 1883 and 1907, funded by the imperial family.
Construction began in 1883 during the reign of Alexander III, two years after the assassination of his father Alexander II. The church was dedicated to be a memorial to his father. Estimates suggest that the construction cost 4.5 million rubles. The construction was completed during the reign of Nicholas II in 1907. Funding was provided by the Imperial family with the support of many private donors.
The church is prominently situated along the Griboedov Canal; paved roads run along both sides of the canal. On March 13, 1881 (Julian date: March 1), as Alexander II's carriage passed along the embankment, a grenade thrown by an anarchist conspirator exploded. The tsar, shaken but unhurt, got out of the carriage and started to remonstrate with the presumed culprit. A second conspirator took the chance to throw another bomb, killing himself and mortally wounding the tsar. The tsar, bleeding heavily, was taken back to the Winter Palace, where he died a few hours later.

Depending on where you live, this very hardy plant can be seen as a food source, medicine, tea, wine or the bane of your gardening existence.
Commonly referred to as a Dandelion, it has other names: Lion's tooth; Priest's crown; Swine's snout, but its scientific name is Taraxacum officinaleits.
I have seen fields of these flowers and plants that have been cultivated along side other crops. I have also seen beautiful scenes of hillsides adorned with millions of of these bright yellow flowers. They are also some of the first flowering plants available to bees in the Spring time.
I myself have had a hard time with these plants. A sort of love/hate relationship.

Hey everyone! Here's a small entry for the Island Bound category of the Summer Joust this year. I had a lot of fun with plant colors on this one.
Thanks for looking!
All glory to my Savior Jesus Christ!

The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is a Russian Orthodox church in Saint Petersburg, Russia which currently functions as a secular museum and church at the same time. The structure was constructed between 1883 and 1907. It is one of Saint Petersburg's major attractions.
The church was erected on the site where Narodnaya Volya members assassinated Emperor Alexander II in March 1881. The church was funded by the Romanov imperial family in honor of Alexander II, and the suffix "on [Spilled] Blood" refers to his assassination.

The Cathedral's exterior is plain, but the interior is elaborate, containing many beautiful frescoes.

Construction began in 1883 during the reign of Alexander III, 2 years after the assassination of his father Alexander II. The church was dedicated to be a memorial to his father, Alexander II. Estimates suggest that the construction cost 4.5 million rubles. The construction was completed during the reign of Nicholas II in 1907. Funding was provided by the Imperial family with the support of many private donors.
The church is prominently situated along the Griboedov Canal; paved roads run along both sides of the canal. On March 13, 1881 (Julian date: March 1), as Tsar Alexander II's carriage passed along the embankment, a grenade thrown by an anarchist conspirator exploded. The tsar, shaken but unhurt, got out of the carriage and started to remonstrate with the presumed culprit. A second conspirator took the chance to throw another bomb, killing himself and mortally wounding the tsar. The tsar, bleeding heavily, was taken back to the Winter Palace, where he died a few hours later.
A temporary shrine was erected on the site of the attack while plans and fundraising for a more permanent memorial were undertaken. In order to build a permanent shrine on the exact spot where the assassination took place, it was decided to narrow the canal so that the section of road on which the tsar had been driving could be included within the walls of the church. An elaborate shrine, in the form of a ciborium, was constructed at the end of the church opposite the altar, on the exact place of Alexander's assassination. It is embellished with topaz, lazurite and other semi-precious stones, making a striking contrast with the simple cobblestones of the old road, which are exposed in the floor of the shrine.

'The man in green was wielding an old, rusty, blunt sword, which was obviously not made to fight organic beings. That enchanted sword was capable of slicing through the demon's body to weaken him, but the creature was incredibly fast. With a speed of shadow he grabbed the man with one of his dark tentacles, hurting him severely. With his last ounce of strength the man who never revealed his name raised the mysterious white stone and shouted the spell.'

'The Fear emerged from the shadows many years ago. It came to bring pain and death. Our home island became our prison. He took many of our brothers and sisters. We were left completely defenseless. But one day the hope appeared. The man in green cloak, with a blunt sword in one hand and a mysterious stone in the other. He defeated the creature and sealed it in it's Eternal Prison. But I will tell you this story another time. You must be very hungry after such a long journey. Please, help yourself.'

"I'm standing in my Savior's shadow
Grace will lead to where I'm free
I take his hand, we walk together
And his light shines on me" - Blake Shelton- Savior's Shadow!
MANILA, QUIAPO - I saw great sadness today, in the culture of our nation; That we have to spend and pay, for a savior to deliver us from damnation.

after a long long time i had a chance to go for a walk all by myself! after dropping my brother to his college and leaving the car with the driver, i started to walk. i felt a bit shy approaching people! i guess it was because of that long break!
so as i was walking, i saw this cemetery which seemed pretty ancient and decided to have a look around. but guess what! two of the guard-dogs didn't like me sneaking around at all!! they were barking at me and following me around! one of them was looking pretty eager to have a bite of me! i got somewhat scared and then this guy came out of a room and called those dogs off my back! and those dogs seemed to obey his orders!
Shoren Sharkar, is a guard of this cemetery. asked me if i was gonna put his picture in some newspaper! looked pretty upset when i confessed that "I'm just a kid with a camera", nothing more!!
yes i thanked him and left that place as fast as i could! damn dogs! i was starting to get some spiritual vibes! :(
