Погляд в східному напрямку (в напрямку іконостасу) з бічної південної нави на грані пілонів між центральною та північною навами, на середню центральну та бічну північну нави, на хори північної нави. Видно частину іконостасу та вівтаря центральної нави.
Внутрішній простір собору розділено вісьмома пілонами на три нави, з яких середня вища і ширша за бічні. Бічні нави двоярусні, на верхніх хорах розміщено бічні вівтарі — Ольгинський (з півдня) і Борисоглібський (з півночі).
На світлині, з лівої сторони, у другому компартименті (вважаючи від вівтаря) бічної північної нави - на гранях пілонів, один навпроти одного, зображені святий Микола Святоша і святий Авраамій Смоленський. У медальйонах між ними – святий Єфрем Переяславський та святий Никон Печерський. Всі вони святі ченці, причому троє з них, крім Авраамія Смоленського, були ченцями Києво-Печерської обителі.
Микола Святоша був першим князем Русі, який прийняв чернецтво. Він зображений як простий чернець, нічого княжого на ньому немає. У руках його чітки, на ногах – лапті.
Художник Вільгельм Котарбінський, (польська - Wilhelm Kotarbiński).
На грані пілону зі сторони центральної нави, святий великомученик князь Михайло Чернігівський.
Князь Михайло Чернігівський, разом із боярином своїм Феодором (який зображений у медальйоні на підкупольній арці), прийняв мученицьку кончину в Орді, не бажаючи вклонитися вогню, якого татаро-монголи шанували як бога. У лівій руці князя прибраний, на знак смирення, у піхви меч, у правій – хрест.
Художник Віктор Михайлович Васнєцов.
З боку центральної нави на гранях підкупольних пілонів, один навпроти одного, зображені святі благовірні князі-страстотерпці – сини святого Великого князя Володимира, святі великомученики Борис (на світлині) та Гліб. Вони з дитинства відрізнялися благочестям і братерською любов'ю один до одного та інших братів, являючи собою ідеал християнської лагідності.
На світлині, з лівої сторони, на ближньому пілоні арки, з боку бічної північної нави, святий великомученик Борис, за традицією зображений старшим. Він у княжому одязі та вінці, але очі його смиренно опущені. У правій руці у нього спис, у лівій – хрест.
Образи Бориса і Гліба виконав художник Михайло Васильович Нестєров за ескізами Віктора Михайловича Васнєцова.

Goðafoss is one of Island's most famous waterfalls, with a legend attached to it. In 1879–1882, a myth was published in Denmark according to which the waterfall was named when the lawspeaker Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði made Christianity the official religion of Iceland in the year 999 or 1000. Upon returning home from the Alþingi, Þorgeir supposedly threw his statues of the Norse gods into the waterfall.

According to traditional sources of Saint Nino, who converted Georgia to Christianity, he stopped to pray on the highest hill Mtskheta and put the cross on him. In the 6th century, it was built in the place of two churches belonging to the monastery. The second - larger church was built between 586 - 605.
This church served as a model for the construction of other temples. The importance of the monastery grew with the passage of time and attracts many pilgrims. Also today, Great Church is used during major events. There are also fragments of the cross of St. Nino.
He is now included on the list of one hundred most endangered destruction of monuments of the world and UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994 as "Historical Monuments of Mtskheta".

Według tradycyjnych źródeł Święta Nino, która nawróciła Gruzję na chrześcijaństwo, zatrzymała się na modlitwę na najwyższym wzniesieniu Mcchety i postawiła na nim krzyż. W VI wieku wybudowano w tym miejscu dwa kościoły, wchodzące w skład monastyru. Drugi - większy kościół został wybudowany w latach 586 - 605.
Kościół ten służył jako wzór przy budowie innych świątyń. Znaczenie monastyru rosło wraz z upływem czasu i przyciąga wielu pielgrzymów. Także dzisiaj Wielki Kościół jest wykorzystywany podczas ważniejszych uroczystości. Zachowały się też fragmenty krzyża św. Nino.
Jest on obecnie wpisany na listę stu najbardziej zagrożonych zniszczeniem zabytków świata oraz listę UNESCO od 1994r.
The cathedral is named after the 6th-century Hagia Sophia (Holy Wisdom) cathedral in Constantinople (present-day Istanbul), which was dedicated to the Holy Wisdom rather than to a specific saint named Sophia. The first foundations were laid in 1037 or 1011, but the cathedral took two decades to complete. According to one theory, Yaroslav the Wise sponsored the construction of the Saint Sophia Cathedral in 1037 to celebrate his decisive victory over the nomadic Pechenegs in 1036 (who thereafter were never a threat to Kyiv).
The grand Cathedral of St. Sophia the Wisdom of God has already been located in the historical center of ancient Kyiv for one thousand years. It is the most ancient Christian church that is fully preserved in the East Slavic area. Being born in the era of Christianization of Rus’ it became the cradle of Kyivan Christianity, statehood and culture, development of which was carried out under the sign of Sophia the Wisdom, which patrons the world. Saint Sophia the Wisdom of God, after whom the cathedral was named, is one of the fundamental ideologemes of Eastern Christianity. It is associated with the image of sovereign statehood wisely kept by God. The idea of Saint Sophia had been preserved as a basis of spiritual life of the entire population for centuries. The humanity can’t exist without this idea as a Christian nation, as a Church, because the idea of St. Sophia was identified with the wisdom of new Christian religion.

The Church of St. Vladimir was built on the site of a medieval cruciform church in the mid-19th century. The church is devoted to Kyivan Prince Vladimir, who, according to the Rus Chronicle, was baptized in Chersonesos. Academician F. I. Chagin and architect D. I. Grimm, architects of the church, designed this two-story building with one chapel on each floor. The chapel of the Nativity of the Mother of God of Korsun' is located on the ground floor; St. Vladimir chapel is on the first floor.
The remains of the cruciform church where the prince of Rus' was initially supposed to have been baptized are preserved on the ground floor of the modern church.
Свято-Владимирский кафедральный собор в Херсонесе - православная святыня, которая увековечила принятие христианства князем Владимиром. Храм-памятник поражает своим величием, красотой и пропорциональностью линий. Свято-Владимирский собор был заложен в 1861 году. На церемонии присутствовала царская семья. Первый камень в основание собора заложил император Александр II. Он же утвердил проект будущего храма на территории Херсонесского монастыря. Автором проекта выступил академик архитектуры Давид Гримм. Интересно, что Свято-Владимирский собор в Херсонесе стал первым выдающимся сооружением, которое спроектировал этот архитектор.

The Cloisters
Lincoln Cathedral sits on high ground overlooking the city, building work on the cathedral commenced in 1088 and continued in several phases throughout the medieval period, originally the three towers had slate spires, the spire on the central tower reputedly made the cathedral the tallest building in the world for 238 years between 1311 and 1549 when the spire was blow off in a storm, it was never placed.
The eminent Victorian writer John Ruskin declared: "I have always held... that the cathedral of Lincoln is out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles and roughly speaking worth any two other cathedrals we have.
The monastery of the Benedictine Order at Pannonhalma was founded in 996 in Western Hungary and had a major role in the diffusion of Christianity in medieval Central Europe. The monastery shows a stratification of different architectural styles and various buildings.
Among these buildings: a school (the first ever school founded in the country), the monastic complex – home to the monks whose life is still based on St. Benedict’s Rule ‘Ora et labora’ -, the tourist welcome points and hospitality facilities, the Chapel of Our Lady, the Millennium Chapel and the botanical and herbal gardens.

Bosnia and Herzegovina often known informally as Bosnia, is a country in Southeast Europe, located within the Balkans. Sarajevo is the capital and largest city. Bosnia is not entirely a landlocked country as it may appear on a map – to the south it has a narrow coast on the Adriatic Sea long and surrounds the town of Neum. Many people still associate the country with the break-up of Yugoslavia in the heartbreaking civil war of the 1990's. The scars from that time are all still visible. But today's tourist are likely to remember the country for its friendly, modest and warm people. The country has turned into an exciting and versatile travel destination, with beautiful mountains, numerous medieval castle ruins, seven major rivers, impressive waterfalls. Overall, nearly 50% of Bosnia is forested. A country where Eastern and Western civilizations have met over the centuries. Today integration into the European Union is one of the main political objectives of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The local currency is the Bosnian mark. The euro is also accepted. Islam is the majority faith in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also Orthodox Christianity, and Roman Catholicism are all present. The wild and unspoilt nature makes it an ideal place for both adventurers and nature lovers. Mostar is the largest city in Hercegovina, with a small but thoroughly enchanting old town centre. Mostar has been most famous for this beautiful historic Ottoman-style Stari Most bridge, which spanned the Neretva river in what is considered the historic center of the city.
Mostar is situated on the Neretva River. Mostar was named after the bridge keepers (mostari) who in the medieval times guarded the Stari Most (Old Bridge) over the Neretva. The Old Bridge, built by the Ottomans (Turkish tribes) in the 16th century, is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's most visited landmarks. The bridge was destroyed during the Bosnian War. The European Union has spent more than $ 15 million on restoration. The restoration was finished in 2004. In 2005, UNESCO inscribed the Old Bridge and its closest vicinity onto the World Heritage List. Today it is the city’s crown jewel, a grand stone bridge which sweeps across the water, making it the most photographed landmark in the entire country for good reason.
Bosnië en Herzegovina informeel bekend als Bosnië, is een land in Zuidoost-Europa, gelegen op de Balkan. Sarajevo is de hoofdstad en de grootste stad. Veel mensen associëren het land nog steeds met het uiteenvallen van Joegoslavië in de hartverscheurende burgeroorlog van de jaren negentig. De littekens uit die tijd zijn allemaal nog zichtbaar. Maar de toerist van vandaag de dag zal het land waarschijnlijk herinneren vanwege zijn vriendelijke, bescheiden en warme mensen. Het land is een opwindende en veelzijdige reisbestemming geworden, met prachtige bergen, talloze middeleeuwse kasteelruïnes, zeven grote rivieren, indrukwekkende watervallen. In totaal is bijna 50% van Bosnië bebost. Een land waar oosterse en westerse beschavingen elkaar door de eeuwen heen hebben ontmoet. Tegenwoordig is integratie in de Europese Unie een van de belangrijkste politieke doelstellingen van Bosnië en Herzegovina. Mostar ligt aan de rivier de Neretva. Mostar is vernoemd naar de brugwachters mostari die in de middeleeuwen de Stari Most oude brug over de Neretva bewaakten. De oude-brug, gebouwd door de Ottomanen Turkse stammen in de 16e eeuw, is één van de meest bezochte bezienswaardigheden van Bosnië en Herzegovina. De brug is tijdens de Bosnische oorlog verwoest. De Europese Unie heeft meer dan 15 miljoen dollar uitgegeven aan restauratie. De restauratie is in 2004 voltooid. In 2005 heeft de UNESCO de Oude Brug en de dichtstbijzijnde omgeving op de Werelderfgoedlijst gezet. Tegenwoordig is het het kroonjuweel van de stad, een grote stenen brug die over het water is gespannen waardoor het niet voor niets het meest gefotografeerde monument in het hele land is.
“These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." Revelation 7:14
These beautiful cloisters lead to one of the oldest pharmacies in Europe – which is still serving the public more than 700 years after it was founded. It’s part of the Franciscan monastery in Dubrovnik’s Old Town, in Croatia.
It was founded in 1317 as an in-house pharmacy for the Franciscan friars, but was later expanded to embrace all Dubrovnik’s townspeople.
Today the peaceful cloisters, and the courtyard they surround, are a welcome release from the tourist trail. And, extraordinarily, the pharmacy is still a going concern, offering products and remedies which are made according to ancient Franciscan recipes. Not least among the temptations on offer are skin creams made from local wild herbs.
I came here to Bruges to visit a relic of the holy blood of Jesus Christ. I learned that it existed a few months prior to coming. This is the upper chapel in the basilica of the holy blood. Cameras aren’t allowed but I managed a few stealth shots.

18.6% of the Kon Tum parish population is claimed to be Roman catholics as compared to the 6.1% national average.
More than half of the population in Kon Tum Province are ethnic minorities, which may be reflected in the style of decoration.
Regno Unito, Isle of Man, Maughold Monastery, Estate 2013
La chiesa di Maughold è una delle chiese più antiche dell'isola di Man ed è il sito di grande importanza per la storia, il patrimonio e la cultura dell'isola con elementi risalenti al VI secolo. La chiesa fu fondata intorno al 447 d.C. dal celtico San Maughold che fu espulso dall'Irlanda da San Patrizio e sbarcò qui sulla costa verso la fine del V secolo, portando con sé il cristianesimo. Questo sito sul promontorio divenne uno dei siti più importanti del primo periodo ed era regolarmente frequentato dai pellegrini, prima di essere commissionato come chiesa nel 12 ° secolo dal re vichingo Olaf I. La chiesa contiene anche un gran numero di Croci celtiche storicamente importanti del periodo paleocristiano (VI-XIII secolo), suggerendo che fosse il sito di un monastero paleocristiano e della principale comunità religiosa pre-norrena dell'isola di Man.
Kirk Maughold Church is one of the oldest churches on the isle of Man and it is the site of vast importance for the Island's history, heritage and culture with elements dating back to the sixth century. The church was founded approximately 447 A.D. by Celtic St Maughold who was expelled from Ireland by St Patrick and landed on the coast here towards the end of the 5th century, bringing Christianity with him. This site on the headland became one of the most important sites of the early period and was regularly frequented by pilgrims across the ages, before being commissioned as a church in the 12th century by Viking King Olaf I. The Church also contains a large number of historically important Celtic crosses from the early Christian period (6th-13th Century), suggesting that it was the site of an early Christian monastery and the main pre-Norse religious community on the Isle of Man.
Holy Week (Good Friday ) is the period in which Christianity, and in particular the Catholic Church celebrates the faith of events related to the last days of Jesus, including in particular his Passion, Death and Resurrection.
In Trapani ( Sicily)It 's the longest Italian religious festival and among the oldest.
The theatrical representation of the Mysteries is set in Medieval times as that at the time of the Roman occupation of Palestine.
And sometimes becomes a perfect mixture on the borders between the sacred and the profane,
Il venerdi Santo a Trapani, è un evento mistico che ripercorre la passione di Gesù. Una delle rappresentazioni più antice in Italia dove a volte sacro e profano si mescolano in una commestione speciale più antiche
Matthew the Apostle, also known as Saint Matthew and possibly as Levi, was, according to the New Testament, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. According to Christian traditions, he was also one of the four Evangelists as author of the Gospel of Matthew, and thus is also known as Matthew the Evangelist, a claim rejected by most biblical scholars, though the "traditional authorship still has its defenders."
Kytaiv Desert or Holy Trinity Kytaiv Desert - Orthodox headhunting monastery. It is located on the southern outskirts of Kyiv, in the tract of Kytaiv.
See the general view of the monastery:
Китаївська Пустинь, Свято-Троїцька Китаєва пустинь – православний чололовічий монастир. Розташований на південній околиці Києва, в урочищі Китаї.
Виник, за легендою церковноі традиції, на місці скиту ченців Києво-Печерської лаври у 16 або 17 ст., за даними писемних джерел, 1716 – тобто тоді, коли в Китаєві було споруджено (на кошти князя Дмитра Голіцина) дерев'яну церкву в ім'я преподобного Сергія Радонезького (пізніше її замінено мурованою Свято-Троїцькою церквою з бічними вівтарями на честь преподобних Сергія Радонезького та Димитрія Ростовського.; будівництвом керував Степан Ковнір; освячена 1767).
