John the Baptist was, of course, born where Elizabeth was living just outside Jerusalem (for her husband Zechariah was a priest at the temple). This church is dedicated to him.
Pathways window, dedicated to the memory of all those whose organs and tissue were removed and retained without the knowledge or consent of relatives and families following post-mortem examinations in former times.
The outline of a mountain peak and converging pathways indicate the hardship shared by those who mourn, while the leaves fall silently from the tree as tears. A red ribbon binds all together in passion and pain. However, the rising sun signifies the promise of a new dawn. The doves ascending and the butterfly spreading its wings in anticipation of flight symbolise hope. United in the light of remembrance, both candles and a multitude of stars preserve the memory of the many loved ones commemorated by this window. It was designed by Nora Gaston and manufactured by Glass Scene.
This memorial is dedicated to the
‘diggers’ of the Australian Army
who fought on the African Veldt,
in the trenches of France, in the
Western Desert and in the jungles
of the Pacific and South East Asia.
Since the unified Australian Army was formed in 1901,
’diggers’ have taken part in many conflicts, including two
world wars. Since 1947 the Australian Army has participated
in many international peacekeeping operations. The
sculpture is entitled ‘Every Mother’s Son’ because ‘the Army
is about people - about infantrymen who can be anyone’s
sons, husbands, fathers or brothers’. The soldiers are not
shown in formal uniforms but in their ‘jungle greens’, on
patrol - alert, wary and protective of each other.

BROOTS the very latin-underground Party inna Berlin City
Garra Berlin (Dj GARrinchA), the resident spinner (with partner Dr. Sócrates) at BROOTS the tropical diaspora roots sound, describes his party’s musical ethos as “A new platform for live music and performance in Berlin dedicated to the fusion of different styles, a culture way that is especially cultivated in Brazil since the days of Tropicalia.” He’s right: The melting pot of samba, cumbia, dancehall, Afro Beat, Funk, Salsa and more results in a bump ‘n’ grind groove that the ladies can’t get enough of. Fresh from gigs in Brazil, the DJs are kicking off a new series of monthly parties in the YAAM (www.yaam.de/survive), featuring many Bands and DJ´s from Europe and worldwide.

SOUTH INDIA – BELUR
The Chennakeshava Temple
The Chennakeshava Temple, located in Belur, Karnataka, India, is a remarkable example of Hoysala architecture.
Dedicated to Vishnu, the temple is renowned for its intricate carvings and finely detailed friezes depicting scenes from Hindu mythology.
This temple was built during the reign of King Vishnuvardhana of the Hoysala dynasty in the 12th century. Construction began in 1117 CE, following Vishnuvardhana’s significant military victory over the Chola dynasty. The temple’s creation was not only a celebration of this triumph but also a political statement to consolidate the Hoysala rule in the region. It symbolized the strength of the Hoysala empire and was meant to assert its cultural and religious authority.
The building of this temple was also motivated by social considerations: it served as a religious and community centre for the region. By erecting a temple of this scale, the Hoysala dynasty strengthened its support among its Hindu subjects while at the same time competing with other powerful empires in southern India. Over the years, the temple has maintained its cultural and religious importance, even though it has undergone a number of changes, and remains an important pilgrimage site for Hindus.
The construction of the temple reportedly took over a century to complete, with contributions from several generations of artisans. One of the most significant advancements was the use of soapstone. It’s a soft and workable material that allowed artisans to carve intricate details with exceptional precision. It also gave the building long-term durability, enabling the temple to stand the test of time. The use of this material reflects the richness and grandeur of the Hoysala period, marked by a high level of artistic and technological refinement.
In terms of construction techniques, the temple was built on a star-shaped platform, which was a signature feature of Hoysala architecture. This polygonal plan not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal of the structure but also provided a stable foundation and also allowed for intricate carvings to be made on the exterior walls, maximizing the surface area for sculptural work.

Dedicated to Inari, the Japanese fox goddess, Fushimi-Inari-taisha is the head shrine (taisha) for 40,000 Inari shrines across Japan. Stretching 230 meters up the hill behind it are hundreds of bright red torii (gates). A visitor could easily spend several hours walking up the hillside, taking in the beautiful views of the city of Kyoto and walking through the torii, which appear luminescent in the late afternoon sun. Countless stone foxes, also referred to as Inari, are also dotted along the path.
The Temple of Artemis, also known less precisely as the Temple of Diana, was a Greek temple dedicated to a goddess Greeks identified as Artemis and was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was situated at Ephesus (near the modern town of Selçuk in present-day Turkey), and was completely rebuilt three times before its eventual destruction in 401. Only foundations and sculptural fragments of the latest of the temples at the site remain.
The first sanctuary (temenos) antedated the Ionic immigration by many years, and dates to the Bronze Age. Callimachus, in his Hymn to Artemis, attributed it to the Amazons. In the seventh century the old temple was destroyed by a flood. Its reconstruction began around 550 BC, under the Cretan architect Chersiphron and his son Metagenes, at the expense of Croesus of Lydia: the project took 10 years to complete, only to be destroyed in an act of arson by a young arsonist seeking fame named Herostratus. It was later rebuilt.
Antipater of Sidon, who compiled the list of the Seven Wonders, describes the finished temple:
I have set eyes on the wall of lofty Babylon on which is a road for chariots, and the statue of Zeus by the Alpheus, and the hanging gardens, and the colossus of the Sun, and the huge labour of the high pyramids, and the vast tomb of Mausolus; but when I saw the house of Artemis that mounted to the clouds, those other marvels lost their brilliancy, and I said, "Lo, apart from Olympus, the Sun never looked on aught so grand".
On September 29, 2014, The Lourdes Foundation, an affiliate of Our Lady of Lourdes, dedicated and blessed the James Moncus Medical Building. The Foundation honored James Moncus and his wife Ruth, who donated $1 million to support health care and outreach programs for those in need in the Acadiana community. The donation will assist in funding three main initiatives: The St. Bernadette Community Clinic, a health care facility that serves the homeless, sheltered and uninsured in the community; the Northside High School Health Center, a school based health center serving students and faculty and Congregational Health Services; a collaborative health education effort aimed at serving the uninsured and underinsured in 12 church congregations.

This memorial to the D.L.I. is one of two, the other is in the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire dedicated in July 2012 at a service attended by Princess Alexandra.
This memorial, with the statue based on a photograph of the then 18-year old Colour Sgt. Brandon Mulvey, from Chester-le-Street, was sculpted by Edinburgh artist Alan Beattie Herriot, DA ARBS. It symbolises the moment after the infantry buglers sounded the ceasefire in Korea in 1953. At a cost of £75,000 the bronze sculpture mirrors the one at the National Arboretum and was dedicated on 14th September, 2014. It is in the busy Market Square in front of St Nicholas' Church, the bronze statue mounted on a chamfered top block of sandstone and on a square chamfered top sandstone plinth.
The main dedication has been inscribed into the block and reads:-
1758 Cap Badge 1968
THE
DURHAM LIGHT INFANTRY
DEDICATED TO ALL
WHO SERVED IN THE REGIMENT
AND IN MEMORY OF
THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES
IN THE CAUSE OF FREEDOM
FAITHFUL
According to the plaque on the left side of the sandstone block of the memorial:-
THE DURHAM LIGHT INFANTRY
The Regiment's long connection with County
Durham goes back to 1758 when the 68th
Regiment of Foot came into being with John
Lambton (whose family came from the County)
as its first Colonel. In 1808 it became the third
regiment to be converted into light infantry,
tasked with skirmishing ahead of the line,
responding to commands given by the bugle
and not the drum. Hence the cap badge.
In 1881 the link with the County was formally
recognised with the 68th becoming the 1st
battalion and the 106th (formally the 2nd
Bombay European Light Infantry) the 2nd
battalion of The Durham Light Infantry.
This local link was reinforced by two militia
(post 1908 Special Reserve) and five volunteer
(post 1908 Territorial) battalions. It was World
War One however, in which 37 battalions served
and 12,006 members of the Regiment were
killed, that turned this link into the exceptional
bond between County and Regiment that so
characterised it during the remainder of its
existence.
During World War Two the Regiment fought in
every theatre of the war, most notably in Burma
and, under Field Marshal Montgomery, from
El Alamein to the Rhine.
During the 210 years of its existence the
Regiment won 38 Battle Honours and 11 of its
members earned the Victoria Cross.
In 1968 the Regiment joined the other Light
Infantry Regiments to form The Light Infantry
which in 2007 was incorporated into a newly
formed regiment, The Rifles.
The brass plaque on the right-hand side of the base tells something of the 'why a Bugler':-
THE STATUE
The Bugler, in combat clothing
worn in the Korean War,
reflects the central role the
Regimental buglers played in
the Regiment's history;
that 'Korea' was the final
Battle Honour awarded
to the Regiment; and that
the buglers of the 1st Battalion
The Durham Light Infantry
sounded the Cease Fire for the
Korean War on 27th July 1953
from a hill top in the front line.
The bugler is carrying
a rifle to show he is still,
first and foremost, a rifleman.
This is one of a pair of memorials
to the Regiment, the other being at
the National Memorial Arboretum.
A quote by Montgomery of Alamein is recorded on the rear of the base:- "There may be some Regiments / as good but I know of none better"
