La cathédrale Saint-Gatien de Tours est l'église cathédrale catholique romaine, située à Tours, en Indre-et-Loire. Dédiée Saint-Gatien, elle est le siège du diocèse de Tours et la cathédrale métropolitaine de la province ecclésiastique de Tours.
Elle a été classée monument historique par liste de 1862.
La cathédrale Saint-Gatien a été construite entre 1170 et 1547. Lors de sa création, elle était située presque au débouché du pont franchissant la Loire, sur la route reliant Paris au sud-ouest de la France. Elle fait l’objet d’un classement au titre des monuments historiques par la liste de 18621.
La première cathédrale Saint-Maurice a été édifiée par Lidoire, évêque de Tours de 337 à 371 et prédécesseur de Martin. Incendiée en 561, elle est restaurée par Grégoire de Tours et dédicacée en 590. Du fait de son emplacement, à l'angle sud-ouest du castrum, et de son orientation à l'est, l'accès se faisait, sinon au travers de l'enceinte tardo-antique, du moins en baïonnette depuis la voie traversant la cité ; une telle configuration est rare2. La cathédrale de Tours est reconstruite au cours du deuxième quart du xiie siècle et est incendiée en 1166 lors des luttes entre Louis VII de France et Henri II d'Angleterre, comte d'Anjou. On ne connaît pas le plan de cet édifice.
La nef et le chœur :
La cathédrale actuelle remplace cet édifice roman. La première campagne a concerné le croisillon sud et les tours, dès 1170. Le chœur est reconstruit de 1236 à 1279 par Étienne de Mortagne. C'est la nef qui a demandé le plus de temps pour son édification. L'architecte Simon du Mans reconstruit le transept et entame la nef, dont six travées, bas-côtés et chapelles sont édifiés au xive siècle — les deux premières travées correspondent à celles de l'ancienne cathédrale romane et remontent au xiie siècle. La nef n'est achevée qu'au xve siècle par les architectes Jean de Dammartin, Jean Papin et Jean Durand, grâce aux libéralités accordées par Charles VII et le duc de Bretagne Jean V. À l'occasion de l'édification du bâtiment actuel, la nef a donc été allongée vers l'ouest et les tours encadrant l'entrée sont élevées en dehors de l'ancienne cité, accentuant la particularité de l'édifice mentionnée supra ; l'enceinte tardo-antique est visible en coupe à l'arrière des tours depuis le nord. En 1356, la cathédrale reçoit le nouveau vocable de Gatien.
La façade a perdu les grandes statues des piédroits, détruites par les protestants au cours des guerres de Religion. Mais elle demeure une des plus extraordinaires créations du gothique flamboyant dans ce qu'il a de plus éxubérant, véritable dentelle de pierre sans guère d'équivalent, chef-d'œuvre décoratif de premier plan. Les tours sont élevées dans la première moitié du xvie siècle : la tour nord a été édifiée en 1507 par Pierre de Valence, et la tour sud entre 1534 et 1547 par Pierre Gadier.

La catedral San Gaciano de Tours, también llamada Catedral de Tours es la iglesia catedral de la diócesis de Tours y la catedral metropolitana de la provincia eclesiástica de Tours. Fue construida entre 1170 y 1547. Estaba situada durante su creación casi a la salida del puente que cruza el Loira, sobre la ruta que une París con el suroeste de Francia.
Historia:
La primera catedral de San Mauricio fue edificada por Lidoire, obispo de Tours del 337 al 371 y predecesor de Martín de Tours. Incendiada en el 561, fue restaurada por Gregorio de Tours y dedicada en el 590.
Su situación, en el ángulo suroeste del castrum, hace que la orientación al este haya hecho que el acceso se haga, sino a través de la muralla tardo-antigua, desde la vía que atraviesa la ciudad. Tal configuración es poco común. No se conoce el plano de este edificio.

Saint Gatien's Cathedral is the Roman Catholic cathedral church of the Tours diocese and the metropolitan cathedral of the Tours ecclesiastic province, in Indre-et-Loire, France. Saint-Gatien's Cathedral was built between 1170 and 1547. At the time construction began, it was located at the south end of the bridge over the Loire, on the road from Paris to the south-west of France. It has been a classified Monument historique since 1862.
The first cathedral of Saint-Maurice was built by Lidoire, bishop of Tours from 337 to 371 (preceding St Martin). Burnt in 561, it was restored by Gregory of Tours and rededicated in 590. Its location, at the south-west angle of the castrum, as well as its eastern orientation, resulted in the original access being through the late-Roman surrounding wall (such a configuration is quite rare).
The cathedral was then rebuilt during the second quarter of the 12th century and again burnt in 1166 during the conflict between Louis VII of France and Henry II of England (also count of Anjou, the neighboring region).
The present cathedral replaces the 13th century Romanesque building. The first phase concerned the south transept and the towers, as early as 1170. The chancel was rebuilt from 1236 to 1279 by Étienne de Mortagne but the nave took much longer to build. The architect Simon du Mans rebuilt the transept and started the nave, including six spans, aisle and chapel, built during the 14th century — the first two spans correspond to those of the old Romanesque cathedral and date back to the 12th century. The nave was only finished during the 15th century by architects Jean de Dammartin, Jean Papin and Jean Durand, thanks to the generosity of Charles VII and the Duke of Brittany Jean V.
While building the present cathedral, the nave was then extended westward and the towers surrounding its entrance were erected during the first half of the 16th century, the first tower in 1507 by Pierre de Valence 87 m high, and the second tower during 1534 and 1547 by Pierre Gadier. Highlighting the special feature of the building, called supra, the towers were erected outside of the old city. The late-Roman surrounding wall is visible in cross section at the rear of the towers from the north.
In 1356, the cathedral received its new name of saint Gatien. Its construction having been particularly slow, it presents a complex pattern of French religious types of architecture from the 13th century to the 15th. For example, the tower buttresses are Romanesque, the ornamentation generally is pure Gothic, and the tops of the towers are Renaissance (beginning of the 16th century).

EXCERPT from:
trumpetcallofgodonline.com/index.php5?title=Many_Are_Call...
*Therefore, hear now the word of The Lord, for here is wisdom:* *God is
just in everything.* And if The Father's justice is not partial, then it
shall surely come to pass in these latter days, that those who have placed
themselves first shall be last, and those who were seen as last shall be
first. For what shall I do and what shall I say to all these who call of
themselves Christian, to a people who speak in My name continually,
invoking My Word in Scripture, then in the selfsame day disobeying it?!
Shall any man who thinks himself righteous, simply because he knows My
name, be taken out of The Day of The Lord as a reward for his disobedience
and high-mindedness?!... *Surely not!*
And what of all these who speak in My name, using My own Word to exalt
themselves and to judge others? Shall I reward the lofty and deliver the
self-righteous?! Shall I lift up any who teach as doctrine the commandments
of men?! Shall I grant escape to those who stand firm for their own way, as
they fight against Me?!... *Surely not!* For of My servants I require all
humility, with meekness and fear, rightly dividing My Word unto the
edification of their brothers and sisters; not in justification of
themselves, by themselves, for their own glory, as they abide in the
churches of men who forsake My Commandments and ignore My every decree, a
people who hate My statutes and have no love for My Sabbaths!

Le projet d'édifier une mosquée à la Réunion date du début des années 1890. Il est le fait de commerçants originaires du Gujarat arrivés dans l'île deux ou trois décennies auparavant en provenance notamment de Surat. Le 20 avril 1892, six d'entre eux (agissant au nom d'environ 120 autres) acquièrent un immeuble au 111, rue du Grand-Chemin, devenue depuis rue du Maréchal-Leclerc. Il servira de lieu de culte informel pendant dix ans. En 1897, le gouverneur Beauchamp autorise l'édification d'une mosquée à cette adresse. Financée par une caisse alimentée par une somme forfaitaire prélevée sur les bénéfices des commerçants impliqués, sa construction selon les plans d'un ingénieur indien dure sept ans. Inaugurée le 28 novembre 1905, soit 21 ans avant celle de Paris, sa façade principale fait 15 mètres de long et la salle de prière peut contenir 150 fidèles. En 1960, des travaux d'agrandissement sont entrepris après acquisition d'une parcelle mitoyenne. Le nouveau bâtiment, inauguré le 3 août 1962, est partiellement ravagé par un incendie probablement déclenché par un court-circuit à l'étage d'un local commercial voisin le 12 octobre 1974. La façade en bois brûle complètement. La communauté musulmane de Saint-Denis se mobilise à nouveau pour financer de nouveaux travaux. Doté d'une façade commerciale longue de 38 mètres de long, le nouveau bâtiment est livré en 1979. La photo ci-dessus le représente donc peu de temps après son ouverture.
The project to build a mosque in Reunion dates from the early 1890s. It is the work of traders from Gujarat who arrived on the island two or three decades ago from Surat. On April 20, 1892, six of them (acting on behalf of about 120 others) acquired a building at 111, rue du Grand-Chemin, which had since become rue du Maréchal-Leclerc. It will serve as an informal place of worship for ten years. In 1897, Governor Beauchamp authorized the construction of a mosque at this address. Funded by a fund fed by a lump sum levied on the profits of traders involved, its construction according to the plans of an Indian engineer lasts seven years. Inaugurated on November 28, 1905, 21 years before that of Paris, its main facade is 15 meters long and the prayer room can hold 150 people. In 1960, expansion works are undertaken after acquisition of a semi-detached plot. The new building, inaugurated on August 3, 1962, is partially ravaged by a fire probably triggered by a short circuit on the floor of a nearby commercial space on October 12, 1974. The wooden facade burns completely. The Muslim community of Saint-Denis is mobilizing again to finance new work. With a commercial facade of 38 meters long, the new building is delivered in 1979. The photo above represents it not much time after its opening.

Ilha de Tavira, Algarve
Although attractive from an holidaymaker viewpoint, clearly a bad example of territory's spatial planning certainly committed a couple decades ago, which allowed edification right on top of the sand dunes. More so, since this island like many in the Ria Formosa estuary constitutes a very sensible area to buffer coastal erosion, as wells as nesting ground for many bird species.
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,
To God’s elect, exiles scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood:
Grace and peace be yours in abundance.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

This is the remnant of a portrait of our host for the evening. Everything went wrong. The cameraman was drunk (me!), The flash didnt fire, The picture didnt come out. So I clipped these little light trails for your edification.
Enjoy!
A very brilliant Seder night with Becky and Hugo's friends, the Solomons, in their house near Geneva. I took the picture quite late on in the evening, so it's not as informative as last year's passover guide, but there are a few notes for your general edification.

Google Maps updated the satellite imagery for my area. (Feel free to click the link and explore around town.) You can now make out individual buildings and even cars. The imagery is still at least a year old -- the Taiyo (a supermarket chain) isn't in the picture, but it does look like they might have started grading the lot where it was finally built (inside the curve in the river just to the left of center, in the upper part of the picture) late last year. I stuck labels on things, for everyone's edification. To give an idea of distance, it's a five minute walk from home to work.

9 Things You Might Not Know About the Holy Cross, by Monastery Icons

Please give the video a like to give it an initial boost!
A sign on the big picture windows looking over the Grand River in downtown Grand Rapids has an arrow pointing left (upstream; north) with the description, "sturgeon spawning grounds begin about 1/2 mile up-river."
How different today's scene from a similar April day 200 years ago, before picture windows and steel-frame, multi-story, climate-controlled buildings existed. Now the visitors who have free time to pursue intellectual edification or to indulge in distraction from ordinary routines can climb the staircase and watch video of a large swimming fish (at the left), read printed details of the population crises, and peer into a large fish tank with 2 young juvenile sturgeons. By contrast, in the time before immigrant settlement, lore and experiences with the large ancient fish would be shared among the Native peoples who lived and traded along the big river. Ideas like video recording and a writing system might have baffled many people at the time. And it might seem outlandish to think of the need to carefully conserve the spawning grounds and to regulate harvest, and to research the lives of fish.

Probarona Purnima, October 27, 2015, Dhaka, Bangladesh
Probarona Purnima, the second largest festival of the Buddhist community. Also known as Ashwini Purnima, the festival marks conclusion of the three-month long seclusion of the monks inside their monasteries for self-edification and atonement of their defilement.
According to legend, Buddha once clipped some strands of hair from his head and said that if he was qualified to attain supreme wisdom and enlightenment, the hairs would not fall down but go up instead, which they did.
To mark this event, Buddhists ignited and send up balloons made of coloured paper to flow towards the sky as a symbol of lighting up the sky which is the chief attraction of the festival.

Rossauer Barracks
9th district
The Rossauer Barracks should be together with Franz Joseph's Barracks and the arsenal part of a planned fortress triangle, which should provide protection against internal unrest. On 1 August 1864, ground was broken for the construction of the barracks in the Rossau. Full six years took the edification, and 5 July 1870 the entire area was handed over and the first troops moved. The Barracks underwent several alterations and changes of use over time. During World War II falling bombs destroyed the Danube side infantry officer tract completely, but then it was mostly true to the original rebuilt.
The Rossauer barracks is built in the style of late romantic historicism and recalls the medieval fortress architecture with towers, battlements, attachments and eaves. The equipment of the barracks was already inadequate and doubtful designed in the early days when it came to spatial proportions and sanitation. It was sometimes the story that the architect committed suicide because he had forgotten to install toilets. The barracks offered after their completion accommodation for 2,900 men and 390 horses. Next to it 99 officers flats of different sizes, 43 apartments for married officers, a chapel and office spaces were housed. The building has huge proportions. The length is 269m and width of 136m. In the barracks there are three large courtyards. Due to the proximity to the water, when building a very strong foundation was needed, which is located on about 30,000 pilots. It is worthwhile to make the approximately 850m long walk around the building.
