Approximately half of the country's population practice traditional religion,[12] which tends to emphasize links between the living and the razana (ancestors). The veneration of ancestors has led to the widespread tradition of tomb building, as well as the highlands practice of the famadihana, whereby a deceased family member's remains may be exhumed to be first carried in a procession with musicians and then rinsed and re-wrapped in fresh silk shrouds, also known as lambas, before being replaced in the tomb.
Almost half the Malagasy are Christian, with practitioners of Protestantism slightly outnumbering adherents to Roman Catholicism, and today, many Christians integrate their religious beliefs with traditional ones related to honoring the ancestors.
Caodaism (Đạo Cao Đài, 道高臺) is a new religion established by Phạm Công Tắc and Lê Văn Trung in 1926. Its headquarters is in Tây Ninh province located 90 km northwest of Saigon, which shares a border with Cambodia. A few to several million Cao Dai followers according to different sources are found mainly in southern Vietnam. It is a syncretism of many religions including Catholicism, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, plus Vietnamese folk beliefs. It is a monotheistic religion insisting that God is One but has different names by religion.
Aside from the above, the religion is noted for its unusually colourful temples. The Divine Eye, which looks similar to the Eye of Providence, installed in the centre of the façade is the symbol of the religion.
3 ноября 1941 - в Киеве взорвался Успенский собор, главный храм Киево-Печерской лавры, древняя усыпальница киевских князей. Впоследствии советские власти обвинили нацистов, хозяйничавших в городе, в уничтожении уникального памятника культуры. В свою очередь, немцы приписывали вину советским подпольщикам.
Киев уже в течение полутора месяцев был оккупирован нацистами. За это время взлетел на воздух Крещатик - как оказалось, большевики, оставляя город в сентябре, заминировали немало важных сооружений. В октябре немецкие саперы разминировали Оперный театр, Педагогический музей, Госбанк, Университет, Владимирский собор и другие большие здания. Казалось, Киев в безопасности.
Однако 3 ноября примерно в 14:30 в Лавре раздался мощный взрыв (или, по некоторым данным, серия взрывов). От Успенского собора остались лишь фрагменты восточной стены, алтарь и два столба.
Известный советский кинорежиссер Александр Довженко тоже считал, что Успенский собор взорвали "свои". Сразу после изгнания врага он оказался в Киеве и по горячим следам расспросил многих жителей. В "Дневнике" записал с болью: "Не немцы уничтожили центр нашей истерзанной столицы, а мы сами ... И Лавру взорвали".
Catholics and protestants constitute 7.4% and 1.1% of Vietnam's population, respectively.
Nhà thờ Sóc Trăng is a Catholic church established by a French missionary in 1888.
Catholicism was first introduced to Vietnam in the 16th century by European missionaries. French missionaries played an important role for Nguyen Phuc Anh (阮福暎) to establish the Nguyen dynasty in 1802. His successors, however, became hostile to the missionaries, which gave the French the excuse to invade Vietnam. Catholic churches flourished under the colonial government.
Protestantism was first introduced by a Canadian missionary in 1911. It spread to Montagnards or ethnic minorities in the Central Highlands and later in the Northwest Highlands.
Percentage of Christian population is reported to be higher in southern Vietnam as many Christians fled to the South when the North was under the communist rule. Government control of religions moderated with the introduction of Doi Moi economic reform.
The Dresden Frauenkirche is a Lutheran church in Dresden, the capital of the German state of Saxony. Destroyed during the Allied firebombing of Dresden towards the end of World War II, the church was reconstructed between 1994 and 2005.
An earlier church building was Catholic until it became Protestant during the Reformation. The old church was replaced in the 18th century by a larger Baroque Lutheran building. It is considered an outstanding example of Protestant sacred architecture, featuring one of the largest domes in Europe. It was originally built as a sign of the will of the citizens of Dresden to remain Protestant after their ruler had converted to Catholicism. It now also serves as a symbol of reconciliation between former warring enemies.
After the destruction of the church in 1945, the remaining ruins were left for 50 years as a war memorial, following decisions of local East German leaders. The church was rebuilt after the reunification of Germany, starting in 1994. The reconstruction of its exterior was completed in 2004, and the interior in 2005. The church was reconsecrated on 30 October 2005 with festive services lasting through the Protestant observance of Reformation Day on 31 October. The surrounding Neumarkt square with its many valuable baroque buildings was also reconstructed in 2004.

Pocos días faltan para el inicio del Proximo Año Jubilar 2017 que se celebra en la bella localidad de Caravaca de la Cruz y que espera la llegada de más de dos miillones de peregrinos durante este año 2017.

My previous shot was of Rotonda from the ruins of the castle looking out over the city and valley floor this shot the next morning is from the street front of our B&B looking up at the ruins of the castle marked by a simple white cross. Early Catholicism was very good at taking existing Pagan festivals and coopting them for their own purposes and such is the case with the cities Fir tree festival in June that was an ancient Lucani rite of nature that has become a celebration of St Anthony who slept under a fir tree.
While religion may have borrowed festivals from the ancient pagans the city has also borrowed one of the things it is most famous for, that is the red eggplant which originates from Africa and is now widely cultivated and celebrated with a dedicated festival of its own. The plant was most likely brought back from a returning colonial soldier during the 19th century but has found a permanent home here in the region, now everyone grows this in their gardens and is consumed simply with vinegar and oil prepared as a side dish usually with meat.
Rotonda was thrice blessed with unique culinary products first with the Red Aubergine, second with the exceptional Costoluto Tomato that can have fruit almost a kilo in weight and thirdly with the Fagiolo Poverello a white bean that loves the Polino mountain air. To make the Italian flag of Rotunda’s food complete we need green to go with the red and white products which is where their olive oil comes into play ranked as the best in Basilicata and awarded the Olivarum prize for the best product in the region.
I took this on Oct 1rst, 2018 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f3.5-5.6 Lens at 72mm 1/100s f`11 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , and DXO

Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom, officially Hohe Domkirche St. Petrus, Latin: Ecclesia Cathedralis Sanctorum Petri, English: High Cathedral of Saint Peter) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Cologne, Germany. 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"
La cabecera románica es el elemento arquitectónico más antiguo y está formada por tramo recto y ábside. Al exterior presenta tres arcos de medio punto con capiteles decorados. Se unen los tres a través de una imposta taqueada que recorre todo el hemiciclo.
«Георгіївський собор являє собою класичний тип хрещатого п’ятикамерного, п’ятибанного храму з вертикально видовженими пропорціями. Фасади прикрашені вишуканим бароковим декором: витонченими хрестами, оригінальними капітелями з загорнутими до середини волютами, ліпними картушами, розетками, голівками янголів. Бані увінчані покрівлею грушоподібної форми. Всередині храму приміщення об’єднують великі арки, а високі вікна роблять внутрішній об’єм просторим і світлим. Стіни собору доповнював дерев’яний різний іконостас, встановлений коштом дружини гетьмана Данила Апостола у 20-ті роки XVIII сторіччя. Іконостас знищено у 1936-му, коли храм використовували під військовий склад.
До 1840-х років на південній стіні Георгіївського собору висів портрет його фундатора – полковника М. Миклашевського. Нині він зберігається у Музеї українського мистецтва. Первісно храм був розписаний настінними розписами, переписаними олійним живописом у ХІХ-ХХ сторіччях, але до сьогодні він не зберігся.»

Every shopping trip out is an adventure for us, heading out over Kinlochmoidart, Glenuig, Lochaolort and Glenfinnan. And every time we go down into Glenfinnan I look across to see what the light is like on the mountains through the gap either side of the church. Unfortunately taller trees to either side limit the view, and whilst the conditions weren't great on this occasion, it's still a view I love.
The Catholic Church of St Mary and St Finnan stands in a magnificent raised location at Glenfinnan, offering spellbinding views of Loch Shiel and across to the mountains which line the loch's south eastern shore. After the Reformation of 1560, Catholicism retained its strongest foothold in the more remote areas of Scotland, and in particular in the Western Highlands.
La cripta di Sant’Eusebio si trova in piazza Leonardo da Vinci, nei pressi delle torri di fronte all’Università di Pavia, ed è ciò che rimane di un’antica chiesa longobarda al tempo di re Rotari (636-652).
Inizialmente sede del vescovo ariano, fu dedicata a Sant’Eusebio dopo la conversione al cattolicesimo da parte dei Longobardi. Menzionata nell’Historia Langobardorum di Paolo Diacono, l’edificio di culto è stato completamente ricostruito nell’XI secolo, rimaneggiato tra Cinquecento e Seicento, rifatto nel Settecento e raso al suolo del tutto nel 1923 per fare spazio all’adiacente Palazzo della Posta. La cripta è ciò che rimane oggi.
The crypt of Sant’Eusebio is located in Piazza Leonardo da Vinci, near the towers in front of the University of Pavia, and is what remains of an ancient Lombard church at the time of King Rotari (636-652).
Initially the seat of the Arian bishop, it was dedicated to Saint Eusebius after the Lombard conversion to Catholicism. Mentioned in Paolo Diacono's Historia Langobardorum, the church building was completely rebuilt in the eleventh century, remodeled between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, rebuilt in the eighteenth century and completely razed to the ground in 1923 to make room for the adjacent Palazzo della Posta. The crypt is what remains today.

Le monastère de Cimiez est un monastère franciscain situé sur la colline de Cimiez à Nice et construit sur la base de la chapelle Notre-Dame de Cimiez bâtie par les moines bénédictins de l'abbaye Saint-Pons dont il est fait pour la première fois mention en 1010. En 1546, celle-ci cède la chapelle aux frères mineurs de l'Observance qui par la suite l'agrandissent et la transforment.
L'ensemble monastique actuel de Cimiez rassemble l'église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption (xve siècle) et le musée franciscain qui retrace la vie franciscaine à Nice depuis le xiiie siècle.
День Святого Георгия - 23 апреля.
Порой мне кажется, что Собор создает вокруг себя, в этой невероятно красивой и в чем-то загадочной местности, атмосферу определенного состава воздуха.

It's the holy spirit that tops the dome over the crossing of the Roman church Il Gesù. The mother church of the Jesuit order and flagship of the Counter-Reformation was built in the 2nd half of the 16th century. The 17th century decorations are the work of Baciccia, skilfully blending painting with sculpture. Il Gesù is one of the foremost examples of Roman Baroque art at its most excessively opulent.

Church of the Good Shepherd
The church was built in 1896, and in 1945 it was looted. Until 1950, services were prohibited in it.
Currently, services and weddings are held in this church.
The fresco "Salvation of the Byzantine Patriarch at Sea" is a plot from the hagiographic cycle about the miracles of St. Nicholas - one of the variants of miracles from the series "Saving a ship during a storm."
The fresco depicts the moment of salvation, when St. Nicholas delivers Patriarch Athanasius, who, before leaving on the ship, because of disbelief in the holiness and miracles of St. Nicholas, ordered Theophan to take the image of St. Nicholas out of the upper room.
Фреска «Порятунок на морі візантійського патріарха» є сюжетом із житійного циклу про чудеса Святого Миколая – один із варіантів чудес із серії «Порятунок корабля під час бурі».
На фресці зображено момент порятунку, коли Святий Миколай позбавляє патріарха Афанасія, який перед відпливом на кораблі, через невіру у святість і чудеса святого Миколая, наказав Феофану винести образ святого Миколая з світлиці.

Isis, Horus, Set is the pagan Egyptian trinity, the same pagan trinity that the pagan Jesuits believe in. Roman Catholicism is nothing but repackaged paganism, Roman Catholicism is repackaged Greco-Roman-Babylonian-Egyptian pagan religion.

Прототипом мозаїчного образу є ікона "Богоматір Велика Панагія", або "Знамення", яка іконографічно близька до прославленого образу Влахернського храму в Константинополі.
Мозаїчне зображення Богоматері Орантської з піднятими руками – жест молитви. Це один із найдавніших жестів, звернених до Бога, і він означав прохання, прохання. Церква Василія Великого. Київ.
