The churches are definitely part of the Ethiopian Church's "body" and are worshipped as holy things just as one might worship a holy person. Indeed, a visit to Lalibela, the symbolic Jerusalem, is so spiritually important that it is equivalent as an act of devotion for Ethiopian Orthodox Christians to a trip to the actual Jerusalem.
During Kartik celebrations in Vrindavan a touching theatre play was presented to Gurudev, featuring the life of an extraordinary devotee of the Lord: Shabari. The show culminated with Sri Ram explaining to Shabari the secrets of the 9 forms of bhakti, along with showcasing to the audience the living examples of bhakti: the saints who lived (and some of them still live) in Vraja. Many people were touched to tears, while watching the stories of those great devotees of the Lord who had complete surrender to God and their Guru. Gurudev commented on the satsang afterwards: 'Make whatever you do become devotion - and then Bhagavan will come and give you His darshan.'

While in Savannah, GA I had the opportunity to do some street photography. This man is Sorrow's husband so they share the same story. All the while I was talking with them, his attention was always on Sorrow and caring for her needs.

CONDITION REPORT
Map and Engraving with restoration. (not unexpected since they are on rice paper)
Pedro Murillo Velarde is mainly known in the Philippines as the creator of the wonderful map that bears his surname and whose original name is "Carta corográfica y geográfica de Filipinas" (1734). Designed by him, with very stylish prints on the sides, all of them originally sculpted in copper by Filipino artists, it is on of the most coveted maps by collectors from all over the world.
This copy is truly extraordinary, not only because of its excellent state of preservation, despite the delicate paper on which it was printed, but also because it contains two exceptional engravings that are often auctioned separately. As early as 1906, the bibliographer Retana noted how difficult it was to find a copy with both engravings.
The first is a reproduction in a smaller scale of his well-known map, sculpted by the Philippine printer Nicolás de la Cruz Bagay. The second one features Virgen de la Rosa, of much devotion in the then town of San Pedro Makati, and Nuestra Señora de la Paz y Buen Viaje, patroness of Antipolo, a work of Tagalog artist Lorenzo Atlas.
This is the second Jesuit history of the archipelago, after Labor EvangĂ©lica (Madrid, 1663), by Father Francisco ColĂn, and covers the years 1616-1716, as the title indicates. The first and third parts focus on the actions of the Jesuits in the Philippines, the second part is focused on the missions of Mindanao and Sulu, while the fourth part speaks of the vicissitudes of the Society in the Mariana Islands and the discovery of the Palau Islands.
Unlike other ecclesiastical chronicles, he does not focus only on missionary activities and devotes much attention to the decisions of the governors — whom he often judges harshly— as well as naval battles against piracy and the Dutch, revolts of the Sangleyes and civil affairs in general. It is a historiographical masterpiece that deserves to be fully translated for Filipino readers.
