The Cappadocia region of Turkiye (Turkey) has some of the most unusual landscapes in the world. Caused by volcanic action and millions of years of erosion, the area around Göreme is famous for it's fairy chimneys and hundreds of rock-cut churches where early Christianity gained a strong foothold. There are many troglodyte and semi-troglodyte homes, hotels, restaurants and churches. This set of formations with the mushroom tops are too unstable for occupation.

Godafoss (The Waterfall Of The Gods) is Iceland’s most impressive and beautiful waterfall.
Its name is associated with the country’s history. Having been settled on the 9th and 10th centuries, the Norse pagan religion was dominant. With the growth of Christianity throughout Europe, the pressure to abandon Norse increased to the point that Iceland feared an invasion. In 1000 AD it adopted Christianity as the official religion and the decision maker made the symbolic gesture of throwing the pagan idols into the waterfall. Hence its name since then: The Waterfall Of the Gods.

St Andrew's Church (Andriivska tserkva) is an Orthodox church in Kyiv, constructed between 1747 and 1754 to a design by the Italian architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli, a rare example of Elizabethan Baroque in Ukraine. Situated on a steep hill, where Andrew the Apostle is believed to have foretold the great future of the place as the cradle of Christianity in the Slavic lands, the church overlooks the historic Podil neighborhood. Since 1968, the building has been a museum, part of the National Sanctuary "Sophia of Kyiv" as a landmark of cultural heritage.
The church was consecrated in honor of Andrew the Apostle who is recognized as the "Apostle of Rus′". According to the chronicle The Tale of Bygone Years, Saint Andrew came to the Dnipro River's slopes in the 1st century AD and erected a cross on the current location of the church. He prophesied that the sparsely inhabited area would become a great city. As he predicted, the site arose to become the city of Kiev, a center of the Eastern Orthodox faith in Rus′.
The uniqueness of St. Andrew's Church in Kyiv (1748–1767) is in its unusual location and architecture. The temple was built on an artificial hill, and the foundation for it is the terrace of a two-story building - a stylobate, to which a large cast-iron staircase leads.
This is the only known monument of history, architecture and painting of the 18th century on the territory of Ukraine, created in the imperial baroque style according to the project of the outstanding Italian architect Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli.
Андріївська гора - узвишшя на правому березі Дніпра. У районі Андріївської гори знаходилося слов'янське язичницьке капище, зокрема – головного слов'янського бога Перуна. Легенда пов'язує назву гори з освяченням її в I столітті н.е. апостолом Андрієм Первозванним, який передбачив виникнення Києва. У XI столітті на Андріївській горі був побудований Андріївський, або Янчин, монастир (Янка - дочка київського князя Всеволода Ярославіча), в якому була заснована перша в Русі жіноча школа з вишивальною майстернею. У 1212 князь Мстислав Молодецький спорудив на Андріївській горі Крестовоздвіженськую церкву, що проіснувала до 1560. Згодом на її місці існували інші дерев'яні храми. У XVIII столітті на схилах Андріївської гори розміщувався Аптекарський сад. У середині XVII століття на Андріївській горі було споруджено Андріївську церкву.

Have a safe and fabulous day dear Flickr friends !
My mother is more religious than I am. I was raised with a couple of Christian religions myself but find myself being very upset by the way they have been twisted by the pro fetus, anti life or anti choice republicans who don’t care about these babies as soon as they are born and want to take away services from anyone in need at the drop of the hat.
My newest response to my mom, who still has a few relatives who identify with the religious wrong is to say…”Well that sounds just like Jesus!” Best friends with billionaires? Totally Jesus! Cruel to immigrants, people with disabilities, the poor…just what Jesus would do!
Maybe that Long Term Recovery Program is to free yourself from a cult.

Tupholme Abbey
The abbey was founded between 1155 and 1165 by Gilbert and Alan de Neville by appeal to the Premonstratensians. An abbot and twelve canons were sent from Newsham Abbey in the north of the county. The abbey was largely destroyed by 1538, after being seized during Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries.
The surviving monastic ruin at Tupholme now comprises a single wall, standing two storeys high. It has small square-headed windows lighting the lower storey which was a vaulted undercroft, the upper floor was the refectory of the abbey.
The Witham valley east of Lincoln is notable for its high concentration of monastic buildings, unmatched elsewhere in Britain. There were six on the east bank (Barlings Abbey, Stainfield Priory, Bardney Abbey, Tupholme Abbey, Stixwould Priory and Kirkstead Abbey) and three on the west (Nocton Park Priory, Catley Priory and Kyme Priory).

The parish church is dedicated to St Benedict and has Norman architecture in the south doorway.
The church was made redundant in 1977 and is now under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.
Bruges is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve had the pleasure of visiting. The architecture is simply stunning. I spent days wandering around the streets awestruck.
I found this paper rose on a barbed wire fence outside the walls of the ruinous 12th century Saint Ninian’s chapel, where pilgrims from Ireland would arrive to receive the Eucharist & give thanks to God for their safe passage from a treacherous journey across the Irish Sea.

The iconography of the image is unusual: John the Baptist is depicted with angelic wings. This is a symbolic image that reveals his special mission as a messenger ("angelos" in Greek - "messenger, messenger"), prophet and forerunner of the Messiah (Christ).
Іконографія образу незвичайна: Іоанн Предтеча зображений з ангельськими крилами. Це символічне зображення, яке розкриває його особливу місію як посланця («ангелос» по-грецьки — «посланник, вісник»), пророка та предтечі Месії (Христа).
Образ звертається не тільки до Євангелія, де Іоанну приділено велику увагу, але й до пророцтва Малахії: «Ось Я посилаю Ангела Мого, і він приготує дорогу передо Мною» (Мал. 3:1).
Як і пророки Старого Завіту, Іоан закликав до покаяння, він прийшов перед самим пришестям Христа, щоб приготувати Йому шлях («Предтеча» - означає «ідучий попереду»), і до нього відносили також слова пророка Ісаї: «Голос того, що кричить у пустелі: приготуйте дорогу Господу, прямими зробіть дороги Йому» (Іс. 40:3).
Жодна світова релігія не оминула увагою Предтечу Господнього. Мусульмани називають його пророк Ях’я, іудеї – пророк Йоханан. Останній пророк Старого Заповіту, водночас він шанується як перший пророк Заповіту Нового. У богослужбових піснеспівах Іоанна Хрестителя називають ранковою зорею, що провістила єдине Сонце Правди – Христа.
Lindisfarne Priory on Holy Island was one of the most important centres of early Christianity in Anglo-Saxon England. It is still a place of pilgrimage today, the dramatic approach across the causeway adding to the fascination of the site.
St Aidan founded the monastery in AD 635, but St Cuthbert, prior of Lindisfarne, is the most celebrated of the priory's holy men. Buried in the priory, his remains were transferred to a pilgrim shrine there after 11 years, and found still undecayed - a sure sign of sanctity.
From the end of the 8th century, the isolated island with its rich monastery was easy prey for Viking raiders. In 875 the monks left, carrying Cuthbert's remains, which after long wanderings were enshrined in Durham Cathedral in 1104, where they still rest. Only after that time did Durham monks re-establish a priory on Lindisfarne: the evocative ruins of the richly decorated priory church they built in c. 1150 still stand, with their famous 'rainbow arch' - a vault-rib of the now vanished crossing tower. The small community lived quietly on Holy Island until the suppression of the monastery in 1537. (English Heritage).

The New Chersonesos Museum and Temple Complex consists of buildings and structures with a total area of 140,000 square meters, located on a 22.4-hectare well-maintained territory. The complex includes museums of Christianity, Crimea and Novorossiya, Antiquity and Byzantium, the world's only temple-park, an archaeological park, the Catherine Park with the Geron River, Russia's first amphitheater, the Gryphon Arena, and a recreated Byzantine quarter (a mint, an ancient estate, craft workshops, and a winemaker's estate).
The museum-temple complex houses the world's first temple without traditional walls or ceiling. According to the architect's vision, the temple features trees and flowers instead of walls, a starry sky instead of a traditional dome, and daily chants throughout the grounds.
The temple-park in "New Chersonesos" was consecrated in honor of the Holy Trinity. The first service was held in 2024, on the eve of a significant event for all Orthodox Christians - the Day of the Baptism of Prince Vladimir.
The Temple-Park in Novy Khersones has become not only a place for prayerful solitude, but also a popular attraction for guests of the complex. This approach to creating a sacred space demonstrates the possibility of harmony between man and nature in the highest sense of the word. The Temple-Park serves as both an open-air temple and a beautiful park with unique architectural compositions.
