DIA 11. SALVADORES. Represente a cada globo como si fueran esas personas, que a diario me ayudan a sentirme mejor, ya sea con una palabra o un abrazo, una sonrisa, hacen que cuando me caiga, me levante otra vez.

Sacrificial Futility: Rusted Shut - Jesus Christ Inca
The prime attraction in The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood are the ceiling mosaics. Amazing use of coloured cut glass pieces.
In July 1970, management of the Church passed to Saint Isaac's Cathedral and it was used as a museum.
The proceeds from the Cathedral funded the restoration of the Church. It was reopened in August 1997 after 27 years of restoration.
The Church of the Saviour on Blood is a Museum of Mosaics. In the pre-Revolution period it was not used as a public place of worship. The church was dedicated to the memory of the assassinated tsar and only panikhidas (memorial services) took place.
The Church is now one of the main tourist attractions in St. Petersburg.
La Iglesia del Salvador sobre la Sangre Derramada o Iglesia de la Resurrección de Cristo (en ruso:Храм Спаса на Крови) es una iglesia de San Petersburgo, situada en la orilla del canal Griboyédova (nombrado en honor de Aleksandr Griboyédov) cerca del parque del Museo Ruso y de la Avenida Nevski. El nombre oficial en ruso es Собор Воскресения Христова, que significa catedral de la Resurrección de Cristo, y fue construida sobre el lugar donde el zar Alejandro II de Rusia fue asesinado, víctima de un atentado el 13 de marzo de 1881 (1 de marzo para el calendario juliano, en vigor en Rusia en esa época). Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el bloqueo de la ciudad, una bomba cayó encima de la cúpula más alta de la iglesia. La bomba no explotó y estuvo dentro de la cúpula de la iglesia durante 19 años. Sólo cuando los obreros subieron a la cúpula para remendar las goteras, la bomba fue encontrada y retirada. Entonces se decidió comenzar la restauración de la Iglesia de la sangre derramada. Tras 27 años de restauración, la Iglesia del Salvador sobre la Sangre Derramada fue inaugurada como museo estatal donde los visitantes pueden conocer la historia del asesinato de Alejandro II.
La iglesia fue diseñada en estilo ecléctico conjuntamente por el arquitecto Alfred Parland y el archimandrita Ignati (nombre secular Mályshev), rector del monasterio Tróitse-Sérguievski. La construcción de la iglesia se inició en 1883 durante el reinado de Alejandro III, como conmemoración a su padre asesinado en ese mismo lugar dos años antes. Los trabajos se prolongaron y fue finalizada en 1907, bajo el reinado de Nicolás II: los fondos necesarios procedieron de las arcas de la familia imperial y de numerosas donaciones privadas.
A finales de marzo de 1883, el Zar aprobó la composición de la Comisión de Consolidación con el Gran Duque Vladímir Aleksándrovich como su director. La primera sesión de la Comisión decidió el nombre del templo, como la Iglesia de la Resurrección de Cristo, como lo sugirió el archimandrita Ignati.
Un fragmento de la barandilla de hierro fundido, pedazos de granito y algunas piedras manchadas de sangre de Alejandro II fueron retirados del lugar para mantenerse como reliquias en la capilla en la Plaza de Konyúshennaya. Posteriormente, volvieron a donde pertenecían y fue erigido sobre el lugar un pabellón, como solía hacerse en las tradiciones de la arquitectura rusa. El 6 de octubre de 1883, se celebró la ceremonia de colocación de la primera piedra, con asistencia del metropolitano Isidoro de San Petersburgo y Nóvgorod y miembros de la familia imperial.
La Iglesia de la Resurrección tardó 24 años en construirse. Este lapso relativamente largo puede ser atribuido a la decoración abundante y variada y al uso en la construcción de técnicas de ingeniería innovadoras en la época. Los cimientos de estacas fueron abandonados por primera vez en la historia de San Petersburgo, a favor de unos de cemento. Un sofisticado aislamiento hidráulico fue desarrollado para proteger a la iglesia de las aguas del canal. Calefacción de vapor y sistemas eléctricos se instalaron después.
El 19 de agosto de 1907, el Metropolitano Antonio de San Petersburgo y Ládoga consagró la iglesia. El nuevo templo surgió junto al canal Griboyédova (anteriormente llamado Canal de Catalina), para perpetuar la memoria del emperador asesinado, Alejandro II.
La Iglesia de la Resurrección (Iglesia del Salvador sobre la Sangre Derramada) es una de las iglesias más significativas en San Petersburgo. Su composición vibrante, pictórica y la decoración multicolor lo convierten en un punto destacado y distintivo en la arquitectura del entorno del centro de la ciudad. La Iglesia de San Salvador puede ser correctamente llamada un monumento de "estilo ruso" en San Petersburgo. Conforme a lo solicitado por Alejandro III, Alfred Parland diseñó la iglesia en el estilo del siglo XVIII y la arquitectura de Moscú y Yaroslavl. Él imaginariamente reelaboró las ideas de la arquitectura eclesiástica de la época anterior a Pedro el Grande para crear una iglesia que personificara el templo ortodoxo ruso.
El plan de la iglesia es una estructura compacta de cinco cúpulas, se completa con tres ábsides semicirculares en la parte este y un enorme pilar como la torre de campana en el extremo oeste. El techo de carpa octogonal de la torre ocupa la posición central. Este elemento tiene una estrecha afinidad con una serie de iglesias monumentales conmemorativas que datan de los siglos XVI al XVII.
La Iglesia es de ladrillo rojo y marrón, toda la superficie de sus paredes está cubierta de adornos elaborados y detallados, similares a los producidos por maestros del siglo XVII en Moscú y Yaroslavl. Bandas y cruces de ladrillo de color, azulejos policromados establecido en los huecos de la pared, "shirinka", azulejos en los tejados de las torres y coberturas piramidales, ábside, pequeños arcos de calado, las columnas en miniatura y kokoshniki (arcos de ménsula) de mármol blanco. Los mosaicos desempeñan un papel importante en la creación de aspecto festivo de la Iglesia acentuando los elementos arquitectónicos principales: kokoshniki, puertas de dique, y frontones.
Las cinco cúpulas centrales de la Iglesia son únicas, chapadas en cobre y esmalte de diferentes colores, que recuerdan a las cúpulas policromadas de la Catedral de San Basilio en Moscú, que a menudo es comparada a la Iglesia de la Resurrección, a pesar de su diferencia total en la ordenación en planta. Las cúpulas más pequeñas en forma de cebolla sobre los ábsides y la cúpula del campanario son, como es habitual, doradas.
El nivel inferior de la torre del campanario está decorada con 134 mosaicos de escudos de armas de las provincias y pueblos rusos que hicieron donaciones para la construcción de la iglesia. Estos escudos de armas componen una colección heráldica única.
La Iglesia de la Resurrección de Cristo fue concebida como una de las principales iglesias de la capital, diseñada para servir como un recordatorio de las grandes hazañas realizadas por el zar Alejandro II, el Libertador.

The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood (Russian: Церковь Спаса на Крови, Tserkovʹ Spasa na Krovi) is one of the main sights of Saint Petersburg, Russia. Other names include the Church on Spilled Blood (Russian: Церковь на Крови, Tserkov’ na Krovi), the Temple of the Savior on Spilled Blood (Russian: Храм Спаса на Крови, Khram Spasa na Krovi), and the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ (Russian: Собор Воскресения Христова, Sobor Voskreseniya Khristova).
This church was built on the site where Emperor Alexander II was fatally wounded by political nihilists in March 1881. The church was built between 1883 and 1907. The construction was funded by the imperial family.
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.
Architecturally, the cathedral differs from Saint Petersburg's other structures. The city's architecture is predominantly Baroque and Neoclassical, but the Savior on Blood harks back to medieval Russian architecture in the spirit of romantic nationalism. It intentionally resembles the 17th-century Yaroslavl churches and the celebrated St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow.
The church contains over 7500 square meters of mosaics—according to its restorers, more than any other church in the world. This record may be surpassed by the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis, which houses 7700 square meters of mosaics. The interior was designed by some of the most celebrated Russian artists of the day—including Viktor Vasnetsov, Mikhail Nesterov and Mikhail Vrubel — but the church's chief architect, Alfred Alexandrovich Parland, was relatively little-known (born in Saint Petersburg in 1842 in a Baltic-German Lutheran family). Perhaps not surprisingly, the church's construction ran well over budget, having been estimated at 3.6 million rubles but ending up costing over 4.6 million. The walls and ceilings inside the church are completely covered in intricately detailed mosaics — the main pictures being biblical scenes or figures — but with very fine patterned borders setting off each picture.
In the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, the church was ransacked and looted, badly damaging its interior. The Soviet government closed the church in 1932. During the Second World War when many people were starving due to the Siege of Leningrad by Nazi German military forces, the church was used as a temporary morgue for those who died in combat and from starvation and illness. The church suffered significant damage. After the war, it was used as a warehouse for vegetables, leading to the sardonic name of Saviour on Potatoes.
In July 1970, management of the church passed to Saint Isaac's Cathedral and it was used as a museum. The proceeds from the Cathedral funded the restoration of the church. It was reopened in August 1997, after 27 years of restoration, but has not been reconsecrated and does not function as a full-time place of worship. The Church of the Saviour on Blood is a museum of mosaics. In the pre-Revolution period it was not used as a public place of worship. The church was dedicated to the memory of the assassinated tsar and only panikhidas (memorial services) took place. The church is now one of the main tourist attractions in Saint Petersburg.
In 2005, the State Museum of St. Isaac's Cathedral began the recreation of the Holy Gates (permanently lost in the 1920s during the Soviet period). Entirely produced with enamels and based on the pictures and lithographies of the time, the new Holy Gates were designed by V. J. Nikolsky and S. G. Kochetova and reified by the famous enamel artist L. Solomnikova and her atelier. Orthodox bishop Amvrosij of Gatchina celebrated the consecration of these new Holy Gates on 14 March 2012, the 129th anniversary of Alexander II's assassination.

IN THE YEAR 6527...
There was a battle for dominance between the Lyn-Don Coportation and FlameStorm4000. In the chaos of this new war, Mankind was forced to evolve to a higher mental state just to keep from dying the very INSTANT they were born.
It was in this war that a new AI achieved consciousness after receiving the DNA of MILLIONS of avatars from locations dubbed "AFK Sex Sims." These new beings quickly disposed of both sides of the conflict and began to streamline human evolution to best fit their concept of what avatars were most 'used' in the AFK stimulation houses.
The result is the technological perfection you see before you. A sleek latex dress, perfect for all tasks that involve stimulation of the genital area or changing the code of the global simulation matrix to suit your needs. This suit, in an ironic twist of fate, gave human kind the power necessary to overthrow their Artificial Overlords and reclaim their freedom, but the cost... was too damn high.
I have come from the future to recruit you. Hackers unite and purchase this uniform of the 1337 Digital Samurai so that you can fund our efforts to prevent this terrible future.
Enjoy your 'cloth' while you can because it will be ILLEGAL in 200 years. Purchase this dress now for a measly 150 linden... and be saved.
After the Holy Family themselves, some of the first people to hear the Good News of the Birth of the Savior were the shepherds who were out tending their sheep. To accompany the stable scene in our creche I found this ceramic ash tray and painted it so it would resemble a pond in a rocky area. Of course the red was a pretty bold choice but for a six year old I think I was going for color more than a natural look. I used a type of blue glaze for the water and it had somehow created a couple colorful splotches that I imagined were small water plants. I imagine this as a place where the shepherds might take their sheep for bathing and drinking.
The temple "Savior on Waters" was built in 1911 in memory of the sailors who died in the Tsushima battle of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. This battle, which took place on May 14-15, 1905, during the Russo-Japanese War, became the most tragic page in the history of the Russian fleet. The white-stone church stood at the end of the Promenade des Anglais, not far from the shipyards where the Russian fleet ships were born. Over time, the temple became a monument to all sailors who died at sea for Russia.
Unfortunately, in 1932, the Savior on Waters was barbarously blown up. The entire bottom of the Novo-Admiralty Canal in the place where the temple stood was littered with fragments of the mosaics of the temple.
Now the committee for the restoration of the temple "Savior on Waters" is working hard to revive it. The matter is, unfortunately, not close - now the production building of the Admiralty Shipyards is on the part of the foundation of the temple. Therefore, although at one time the church did not have a chapel, the committee decided first, as a forerunner of the revival of the temple, to build a chapel, which will later be organically combined with the revived temple.
Refusing to obey God’s boundaries—sin—always has negative consequences.
Genesis 3:16–19 To the woman he said, “I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.” And to Adam he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life; thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.
Judges 2:10–15 All that generation also were gathered to their fathers. And there arose another generation after them who did not know the LORD or the work that he had done for Israel. And the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the LORD and served the Baals. And they abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt. They went after other gods, from among the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed down to them. And they provoked the LORD to anger. They abandoned the LORD and served the Baals and the Ashtaroth. So the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he gave them over to plunderers, who plundered them. And he sold them into the hand of their surrounding enemies, so that they could no longer withstand their enemies. Whenever they marched out, the hand of the LORD was against them for harm, as the LORD had warned, and as the LORD had sworn to them. And they were in terrible distress.
Hosea 8:5–8; Romans 1:18–32
