"The next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began to contradict what was spoken by Paul, reviling him. And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken first to you. Since you thrust it aside and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles. For so the Lord has commanded us, saying,
“‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles,
that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”
And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed. And the word of the Lord was spreading throughout the whole region.’”

I've always loved Islamic prayer rugs, both the individual ones and the wall-to-wall rugs seen in mosques. Their colors and designs give me a sense of peace and well-being.
In Judaism, the Western Wall is venerated as the sole remnant of the Holy Temple. Prayer notes can be seen in the cracks.

I carved the Lord's Prayer in this oak faced pallet which I found washed up on a beach in Ibiza, Spain. It took me a week, a line a day roughly, using just a stanley knife to carve the lettering. It was a joy to do it. I started it on the beach and then moved up into a forest overlooking a beautiful bay. A very tranquil week's work!

This is bronze prayer wheel with religious inscriptions. Tibetan Buddhist believe that the action of turning the wheel is similar to reading the Buddhist sutras.
A prayer flag is a colorful rectangular cloth, often found strung along mountain, valleys, ridges and peaks high in the Himalayas. Buddhism believes that Prayer flags are simple devices that, coupled with the natural energy of the wind, quietly
harmonize the environment, impartially increasing happiness and good fortune
among all living beings
Flags contain pretty pieces of colored cloth with including the ancient Buddhist prayers, mantras and powerful symbols. Buddhism believes that prayer flags produce a spiritual vibration that is activated and carried by the wind across the countryside.
The Tibetan word for prayer flag is Dar Cho. “Dar” means to increase life,
fortune, health and wealth. “Cho” means all sentient beings.
The silent prayers are blessings spoken on the breath of nature. Just as
a drop of water can permeate the ocean, prayers dissolved in the wind extend to fill all of space.
The prayer flag tradition has a long continuous history dating back to ancient
Tibet, China, Persia and India. The tradition has now reached the West and is
rapidly gaining popularity.
No cameras allowed inside, though photographing the prayer circle is okay. It is meant for meditation & reflection, not photo-ops.
Stones assembled near the start of the wall, resembling faces, eyes - a haunting image. Soon as I saw them a chill passed over me. Very powerful.
The wall is a tribute to Tom Hendrix's great-great-grandmother, a Yuchi who was born in what is now NW Alabama. She was removed int what became known as the Trail of Tears, but eventually walked back all the way from the Oklahoma territories. His wall was built one stone at a time, just as her journey was made one step at a time. And just like her journey, it winds, has high spots & low spots.
He has rocks from 127 States, countries & islands, including stones from the Arctic & Antarctic, the top of Everest, & the bottom of the ocean. I'm planning to send him some mahogany obsidian from Northeast California, maybe several others from my collection.
It has received recognition as a significant piece of environmental art. The wife of Alabama's Governor Bob Riley wanted to turn it into a tourist destination, but Mr Hendrix refused. That's not what the wall is about.
