The church is dedicated to St Magnus the Martyr, earl of Orkney, who died on 16 April 1118. He was executed on the island of Egilsay having been captured during a power struggle with his cousin, a political rival. Magnus had a reputation for piety and gentleness and was canonised in 1135.
The identity of the St Magnus referred to in the church's dedication was only confirmed by the Bishop of London in 1926. Following this decision a patronal festival service was held on 16 April 1926. In the 13th century the patronage was attributed to one of the several saints by the name of Magnus who share a feast day on 19 August, probably St Magnus of Anagni (bishop and martyr, who was slain in the persecution of the Emperor Decius in the middle of the 3rd century). However, by the early 18th century it was suggested that the church was either "dedicated to the memory of St Magnus or Magnes, who suffer'd under the Emperor Aurelian in 276 [see St Mammes of Caesarea, feast day 17 August], or else to a person of that name, who was the famous Apostle or Bishop of the Orcades." For the next century historians followed the suggestion that the church was dedicated to the Roman saint of Cæsarea. The famous Danish archaeologist Professor Jens Jacob Asmussen Worsaae (1821–85) promoted the attribution to St Magnus of Orkney during his visit to the British Isles in 1846-7, when he was formulating the concept of the 'Viking Age', and a history of London written in 1901 concluded that "the Danes, on their second invasion ... added at least two churches with Danish names, Olaf and Magnus". A guide to the City Churches published in 1917 reverted to the view that St Magnus was dedicated to a martyr of the third century, but the discovery of St Magnus of Orkney's relics in 1919 renewed interest in a Scandinavian patron and this connection was encouraged by the Rector who arrived in 1921. www.stmagnusmartyr.org.uk/history/history-church

The Pantheon was a Roman temple dedicated to all (pan) of the gods (theos). First built in 27 B C by Augustus' son-in-law (M Agrippa on the facade), it was completely rebuilt in about 120 A D by the emperor Hadrian. The Pantheon looks like a pretty typical temple from the outside, but this is perhaps the most influential building in art history. Its dome was the model for the Florence Cathedral dome, which launch the Renaissance, and for Michelangelo's dome of St Peter's, which capped it all off. Even Washington, D C's Capitol Building was inspired by this dome.
At the top, the oculus, or eye-in-the-sky, is the building's only light source and it is almost 30 feet across. The 1,800-year-old floor has holes in it and slants toward the edges to let rainwater drain.
Famous persons emtombed in the Pantheon - the artist Raphael, Italy's first 2 kings, Victor Emanuele II and Umberto I.

Un grazie speciale a Giugj per aver reso soggetto di un suo quadro una delle mie fotografie, una mia immagine fonte ispiratrice di un dipinto, non può che rendermi orgoglioso e molto felice
Dear Fly,
I swatted you out of the air and I thought I smashed you with a large free weekly newspaper, but you kept spinning around on your back like a breakdancer on the floor. I covered the paper with a jar and moved you to the refrigerator where I thought you'd sleep the sleep of Bonn Scott. When you came to your senses, you angrily banged on the glass for 13 days. My friends and I even would come in buzzed at night and blow smoke under the glass with a straw. You played possum a couple of times. After 13 days when you moved no more, I flushed you down the toilet. You're probably doing the backstroke somewhere right now.

Bronze sculpture dedicated in 2008 in commemoration of the 90th anniversary of the actions of the US Army 1st Division in May 1918. The US Army infantrymen became known as the "Lions of Cantigy"
On the morning of May 28th, 1918, the 28th Infantry Regiment, US First Division, American Expeditionary Forces, commanded by COL Hanson E. Ely, conducted the first major American offensive of World War I here at Cantigny. The rest of the First Division, and French aircraft, artillery, tanks and flamethrowers, supported the attack. The seizure and defense of Cantigny against determined German opposition proved the worth of the American soldier and bolstered allied morale at a critical time. Almost 900 members of the regiment were killed or wounded during the four-day battle. The regiment earned the French Croix de Guerre with Palm and the designation "The Lions of Cantigny". The regiments crest bears a lion derived from the coat of arms of Picardie. Dedicated on July 8, 2007 by the 28th Infantry Regiment Association, the McCormick Tribune Foundation, the Cantigny First Division Foundation, and the Village of Cantigny.
Cluny Abbey, dedicated to St Peter, is a former Benedictine monastery built in the Romanesque style, with three churches built in succession from the 4th to the early 12th centuries. The earliest basilica was the world's largest church until the St. Peter's Basilica construction began in Rome. Cluny was founded by William I, Duke of Aquitaine in 910. The abbey was notable for its stricter adherence to the Rule of St. Benedict, whereby Cluny became acknowledged as the leader of western monasticism. The establishment of the Benedictine Order was a keystone to the stability of European society that was achieved in the 11th century. In 1790 during the French Revolution, the abbey was sacked and mostly destroyed, with only a small part of the Abbey surviving. The political and religious wars of the 16th century weakened the abbey's status in Christendom. For instance with the Concordat of Bologna in 1516 overseen by Antoine Duprat, Francis I, the king of France, gained the power to appoint the abbot of Cluny from Pope Leo X. Over the next 250 years, the abbey never regained its power or position within European Christianity. Seen as an example of the excesses of the Ancien Régime, the monastic buildings and most of the church were destroyed in the French Revolution. Its extensive library and archives were burned in 1793 and the church was given up to plundering. The abbey's estate was sold in 1798 and over the next twenty years the Abbey's immense walls were quarried for stone that was used in rebuilding the town. Although it was the largest church in Christendom until the completion of Rome's St. Peter's Basilica in the early 17th Century, little remains of the original buildings. In total the surviving parts amount to about 10% of the original floor space of Cluny III. These include the southern transept and its bell-tower. In 1928, the site was excavated by the American archaeologist Kenneth J. Conant with the backing of the Medieval Academy of America. Ruined bases of columns convey the size of the former church and monastery.

A dearly beloved friend had burnt a CD for me shortly before I left for Greece: poems by Rilke, set to music (Rilke Project), followed by a song of Céline Dion which became one of my dearest songs during my stay in Greece.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Can we touch the soul of heaven
Can we unite a sacred lesson
Every child creates a skylight of beauty
Can you hear cathedrals falling
All the universe is calling
Cry a single cello from your heart
Since the world has lost her way
Loneliness journey endlessly
Yet the promised chance remains
Gift of what could be
So let the children remember the sun
Let them dance
Let them soar
For their lives have begun
Let the children engender the rain
As the river runs through fields
Forever subsiding their pain
Prayer...
Every voice along the shoreline
Standing still within time
Spinning unresolved the walking
As each season passes
Through wonderland and looking glasses
The secret garden shines beckons you
Gentle flower, don't fade away
Sweet innocent still harbors thee
In the faith of golden dreams
Where one love lives eternally
Let the children remember the sun
Let them dance
Let them soar
For their lives have begun
Let the children engender the rain
As the river runs through fields
Forever subsiding their pain
Prayer...
(Bless the children) For they are the light
They are the truth of spirit in flight
Yes, the children engender the rain
As the river runs through life
Healing their pain
You could trust with your heart but for time
Sweet angel, conceive you have
Forever and always believed
Prayer...
