I finally dared to make an angel image, I love images of winged people!
I woke up with this idea in my head, and just had to make it.

"Gabriel, from heaven's king
Sent to the maiden sweet,
Brought to her blissful tiding
And fair 'gan her to greet.
'Hail be thou, full of grace aright!
For so God's Son, the heaven's light,
Loves man, that He | a man will be | and take
Flesh of thee, maiden bright,
Mankind free for to make
Of sin and devil's might.'"

As the isolation obliges, I will be shooting details from my house and backyard, cropping all to squares. As it’s a single camera and a single lens type of challenge, I’ll be using only Fuji XE2 and Jupiter-8, a vintage 50mm f2 lens.

Maria Trost belongs to the most important Marian Shrines of Styria. Destination of pilgrims who came and still come from Austria, Hungary and Croatia, is a Miraculous statue of the Virgin, which stems from the monastery of Rein not far away from Graz and originally stood in the house chapel of the (small palace) Purbergschlössls. The owner of the property, Franz Caspar Conduzi, in 1708 handed it out to the Order of the Pauline.
1714 after the official recognition as a place of pilgrimage, the foundation stone for the church was laid. The construction under Andreas Stengg with his son Johann Georg Stengg was began. Yet five years later, the first church services were celebrated. Emperor Charles VI. ordered the construction of a road from Graz to Maria Trost to improve the accessibility of the place. The shell of the church was completed in 1724. However, the full completion lasted until 1779. A few years later, the Paulines but had to leave Maria Trost during the Josephine Reforms.
The monastery and pilgrimage church evolved into a parish church and the monastery tracts that had been sold to a butcher were converted into stables. Between 1846 and 1996, the Franciscan the church as a place of pilgrimage ran again. In October 1968, in the basilica the Mariatroster statement (Humanae vitae (Latin Of Human Life)) was published. 1996 the Order left the monastery. Since then, the parish is looked after by priests of the Diocese of Graz-Seckau. The upturn culminated on 28 October when the church was elevated to become a minor basilica by Pope John Paul II. In this context, a total renovation of the complex took place.

Fiestas Del Pilar 2015. Rosario de Cristal. Zaragoza
El Rosario de Cristal es uno de los actos más relevantes de las fiestas del Pilar de Zaragoza, aunque poco conocidos fuera de Aragón, es la procesión que tiene lugar la tarde-noche del 13 de octubre.
Su origen se remonta al siglo XIX. A comienzos de 1889 se funda la Cofradía del Santísimo Rosario de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, cuyo presidente (José M. Pra y Duarte) traslada una idea que ya se desarrollaba en la ciudad de Calatayud, que es la de dotar a la procesión del rezo del Rosario de una colección de faroles que serían llevados por los fieles en lugar de las tradicionales hachas, velas y estandartes usados hasta entonces. Los faroles simbolizarían cada una de las partes de la oración del rosario que los devotos iban rezando: los Misterios, los Padrenuestros, las Avemarías, los Glorias y la Letanía.
La procesión personifica un rosario, en el que las cuentas han sido sustituidas por faroles de cristal. En ella encontramos quince faroles monumentales transportados con carrozas, que son diferentes para cada uno de los Misterios además de faroles de mano: 15 para los Padrenuestros, 150 para los Avemarías, 15 para los Glorias, 4 para las salutaciones y 63 para la Letanía.
En la fotografía podemos ver el Farol del Ángelus, realizado por Rogelio Quitana en 1944 y donado por él mismo al hacer efectiva una promesa a la Virgen del Pilar para que sus hijos volvieran sanos y salvos de la Guerra Civil, por lo que todavía es conocido como el "Farol de la Promesa". Representa la escena de la Anunciación del Arcángel Gabriel a María, recogida en la oración bíblica. Es portado por la Cofradía del Descendimiento de la Cruz y Lágrimas de Nuestra Señora acompañada por la Parroquias de Tierra de Biescas, de la Asunción de Quinto de Ebro, Valle de Tena y Río Ara, Cofradía del Stmo. Ecce Homo y de Nuestra Señora de las Angustias, Cofradía de la Piedad de Nonaspe, Cofradía de la Virgen del Rosario de Garrapinillos y Grupo Cesaraugusta.

C'è un quadro di Klee che si intitola Angelus Novus. Vi si trova un angelo che sembra in atto di allontanarsi da qualcosa su cui fissa lo sguardo. Ha gli occhia spalancati, la bocca aperta, le ali distese. L'angelo della storia deve avere questo aspetto. Ha il viso rivolto al passato. Dove ci appare uan catena di eventi, egli vede solo una catastrofe che accumula senza tregua rovine su rovine e le rovescia ai suoi piedi. Egli vorrebbe ben trattenersi, destare i morti e ricomporre l'infranto. Ma una tempesta spira dal paradiso, che si è impigliata nelle sue ali, ed è così forte che egli non può più chiuderle. Questa tempesta lo spinge irresistibilmente nel futuro a cui volge le spalle, mentre il cumulo delle rovine sale davanti a lui al cielo. Ciò che chiamiamo il progresso, è questa tempesta.
[Walter Benjamin]
"According to the teaching of the Roman catechism, we must remember how admirable was the intention of divine Providence in entrusting to the angels the mission of watching over all mankind, and over individual human beings, lest they should fall victims to the grave dangers which they encounter. In this earthly life, when children have to make their way along a path beset with obstacles and snares, their fathers take care to call upon the help of those who can look after them and come to their aid in adversity. In the same way our Father in heaven has charged his angels to come to our assistance during our earthly journey which leads us to our blessed fatherland, so that, protected by the angels' help and care, we may avoid the snares upon our path, subdue our passions and, under this angelic guidance, follow always the straight and sure road which leads to Paradise..."
- Pope Bl. John XXIII.
