Manuel de Noronha ordered the rebuilding of a 14th-century chapel that stood where the Sanctuary is today. In 1738–9 the architect, Nicolau Nasoni, designed the Remedy Fountain for the Courtyard of the Kings. In 1750 the Sanctuary was designed by António Mendes Coutinho. The staircase took over 200 years to complete; the design was initially drawn up in 1777 and building continued from 1781 until 1969.Description: The enormous staircase with 691 stairs crosses the hill to reach the Sanctuary. It has nine profusely decorated levels with pyramids and statues, namely the Courtyard of the Kings and some fountains. The balance and harmony of the church façade are due both to the pinnacled bell tower and to the sculptures crowning the pediment. The framed windows of the façade are decorated with garlands. In the centre of the façade the entrance is decorated with vegetal elements and is surmounted by a niche hosting the image of Our Lady of Remedy. In the interior beside the azulejos panels representing scenes on the life of the Virgin, there are two gilt carved wood collateral altarpieces devoted to Saint Anne and St. Joachim, designed by José de Santo António de Vilaça, who is also the author of the main gilt carved wood altarpiece in the octagonal cupola-covered chancel.
Welcome to a night in the office from hell.
It’s 1983 and in an abandoned workplace in the Midlands, two solitary clerical workers sit down at their desks to begin a routine night shift. But as the evening creeps into the night, a confidential file is accidentally opened and a quietly horrifying secret is unleashed. A secret that’ll soon turn their lives of rotas, packed lunches and fag breaks violently upside down and the workers, against each other.
A fantasy thriller with a pounding 1980s soundtrack, Stoke-on-Trent’s Potboiler Theatre invite you to a world of ruthless ambition, desperate escapism and deeply held desires: a world of Devotion.

“’Why did you do all this for me?’ he asked. ‘I don’t deserve it. I’ve never done anything for you.’ ‘You have been my friend,’ replied Charlotte. ‘That in itself is a tremendous thing.’” — Charlotte’s Web, E. B. White

I came across this small procession for a Peruvian equivalent of Mexico's Virgen de
Guadelupe yesterday. I am sorry for my inadequate description but I couldn't for the life of me understand what the elderly bystander told me. After having asked several times, I just nodded, too embarrassed to ask again ...
He said it was an important day and all over Lima there were several processions like this one taking place.
Does anybody out there in flickrland know more ?
This old man was sitting just by me and sawing his purse. He was so concentrated on his work that I didn't ask him when I shot and he did not realized it at all.
Though I was given up for adoption as a newborn, it was fourteen years later upon our reunion that I learned of her loving role as mother. Malee was a mother and best friend to all four of her children; she was a counselor figure to many neighborhood children.

This year, Guruji's Appearance Day was celebrated with great devotion and reverence at Sri Vitthala Dham. The sacred event commenced with the offering of 108 yajnas by devotees.
Following this, a Paduka abhishekam was performed at the lotus feet of Guruji, filling the atmosphere with divine energy and grace. Devotees were then given the rare and blessed opportunity to bow their heads at His feet and offer flowers.
As the night unfolded, everyone gathered in the main hall, seated in a traditional Indian style—on the floor in neat rows—bringing a sense of unity and simplicity. During the community dinner, heartfelt speeches were shared. Devotees recounted beautiful and personal experiences with Guruji, each story echoing the profound impact of His presence in their lives.
The evening concluded with soul-stirring Shabads sung by the Sikhis from Amritsar. Their divine music created a deeply reflective space, allowing everyone to look inward and contemplate their journey with Guruji.
It is through His divine incarnation that we have been gifted with a spiritual path and a living relationship with God. His presence continues to guide, uplift, and transform all who walk this sacred journey.
