The shrine had a place where you could leave prayers you would like answered. There must have been prayers from all over the world because I saw many languages that I did not recognize.

Native American prayer flag in the forest surrounding Devils Tower National Monument, northeast Wyoming, USA. Formed by magma that hardened beneath the earth's surface 50 million years ago, then appeared above the landscape 1-2 million years ago as the softer rock around it eroded away, this otherworldly formation is sacred to local Native American tribes. According to legend, the Great Spirit made the rock rise out of the earth to help people escape a giant bear, who angrily clawed at the sides as it grew.

Tolerance - Pic n°1

I made it few hours after terrorist's attack in Nice (France) the 14 th july 2016. In his last sermon, the Imam asked to let kids playing in the mosquee, as a "free playground".

I came back the day after: Friday 15th 2016 to make the 2nd pic "Prayers", to show 2 differents faces of this religion. I must thank the imam, guides and security team to let me do the 2nd, because it's normaly not allowed. It was a real adventure.

Bishop's Prayer Walk Darlington - Day 2

These six images are of the prayer book of my wife's great-grandmother, Elisabetta Petacci Gabioli Crescenzi; the little hand-written, hand-sewn booklet dates from 1900 to 1912. The last pages are used to write down the offerings made to the church after her death: "Offerings for mamma's soul." The list was kept by Evelina, her daughter.

I was attempting a photoshop class on how to make your words appear as though they are being formed by the smoke... well I tried :-)

"Brothers and sisters, I have decided to proclaim for the whole Church on 7 September, the vigil of the birth of Mary, Queen of Peace, a day of fasting and prayer for peace in Syria, the Middle East, and throughout the world, and I also invite each person, including our fellow Christians, followers of other religions and all men of good will, to participate, in whatever way they can, in this initiative." (Pope Francis)

The site of the Tower is sacred to several Native American tribes, and even to this day, they bring prayer bundles and place them near the Tower. I didn't manage to find any, so I wasn't able to photograph one, let alone disturb it...

We've had such a hard week. Pinkie is in need of some prayers. I have been so sick with worry over her. She is coming out of a second surgery from complications with an obstruction. It has been hard these past few days watching this lively little girl fight so valiantly. She's had two surgeries now, patching up 5 holes in her intestines the first time and now removing a portion in her second surgery. She is no where near out of the woods but she is a fighter and I know she will pull through.

It is a foggy, rainy day. The spring rains washed out the road restricting our travels. Then around the corner the rush of water sounds drown out the engine whines. Against the gray skies flags spanning the waterfall.

Lumbinī is a Buddhist pilgrimage site in the Rupandehi district of Nepal. It is the place where Queen Mayadevi gave birth to Siddhartha Gautama. Siddhartha Gautama lived roughly between 623 and 543 BCE and he founded Buddhism as Gautama Buddha. Lumbini is one of four magnets for pilgrimage that sprang up in places pivotal to the life of the Buddha, the others being at Kushinagar, Bodh Gaya and Sarnath.

 

Lumbini, where the Buddha lived until the age of 29, has a number of temples, including the Mayadevi temple, and others under construction. Also located here is the Puskarini or Holy Pond where the Buddha's mother took the ritual dip prior to his birth and where he, too, had his first bath, as well as the remains of Kapilavastu palace. At other sites near Lumbini, earlier Buddhas were, according to tradition, born, achieved ultimate awakening and finally relinquished earthly form.

Visited my friend's church, and after the service, I joined their prayer walk.

Street prayer in Fukuoka, Japan, 3-29-08.

It was getting dark as we arrived at our last Mandalay temple-stop of the day, but fortunately the rains held off. We positioned ourselves on the upper balcony of a modest monastery - who's name I don't know - and waited as a young monk struck a metal bong repeatedly with a heavy wooden striker. Quietly, walking barefoot, maroon-robed monks emerged from all directions, and lined up to enter the prayer hall, where they sat for meditation, chanting and prayers.
