Religious infatuations, moments of ecstasy & completion. what powerful identifications they provide, but why do we feel so incomplete without such symbols? can we bear to let go of the ties....?
The devotion to the Christ of Esquipulas in Guatemala dates back over 400 years and is also observed in New York, New Mexico and Los Angeles.
The Church of the Immaculata opened in 1957 as the chapel for the University of San Diego. It is now a parish church.
St Augustine, Ramsgate, Kent
Sacristan having a crafty fag before Mass.
A superlative church by August Welby Pugin. Pugin had a special devotion to St Augustine, and when he became wealthy from the architectural commissions he had carried out, he bought a large house beside the sea at Ramsgate, close to the spot where St Augustine had landed on his mission to convert the heathen English. Here he built a house, the Grange, and beside it a church designed precisely to his vision, with no interference from patrons or dioceses.
The church was constructed between 1845-1852 according to Pugin's ‘true principles of Christian architecture’. He described it as ‘my own child’ and it was to be the place of his burial. Pugin wrote to the Earl of Shrewsbury, “My whole soul is devoted to building this church here”. He spared nothing in the construction using only the finest material and workmen. He wrote to his son Edward, ‘I am giving you the best architectural lessons I can; watch the church, there shall not be a single true principle broken’. Even before a parish was formed in Ramsgate the church provided mass for local Catholics, visitors and foreign sailors. In 1848 it was the venue for the first High Mass on Thanet since the Reformation.
In 2012 the church was declared the National Shrine of St Augustine in England by the Diocese of Southwark, in which it lies.
Hardly any people are more devoted and religious than the Burmese. 90% of the population are buddhists, and "all" males, and many women, have done their duty either as a novice at a monastry or as a monk.

I cheated and took some photos from those free photo websites.

I really enjoyed watching parent and child interact while I photographed them. Looking into their eyes I can't help but wonder what they were thinking.

The delicate pinks of this cymbidium orchid almost glow with light. This macro shows off the detail of this beautiful flower. It take devotion to grow orchids, but the payoff is amazing.
