In the woods of Golden Gate Park, atop a tall hill is Prayer Book Cross. Written on the face of the cross:

 

Presented to Golden Gate Park at the opening of the Midwinter Fair, January 1, A.D. 1894 as a memorial of the service held on the shore of Drake's Bay about St. John Baptist's Day, June 24, Anno Domini 1579, by Francis Fletcher, Priest of the Church of England, Chaplain of Sir Francis Drake, Chronicler of the Service.

 

First Christian Service in the English tongue on our coast. First use of the Book of Common Prayer in our Country. One of the first recorded missionary prayers on our Continent.

  

I took this while traveling at the NM museum of art on vacation a couple years ago. Since it was part of a family holiday, I really didn't have the ability to manage my photo hours and this was taken at about mid-afternoon. Usually I don't like such strong lighting, but I think it works here to bring out the face and the contour of the arm.

 

The POV was partially creative and partially necessary; there are 2 air-conditioning compressors behind the statue.

 

I wish I was able to get more of the legs of the statue, but with the angle I had to shoot (I was laying flat on the ground) and the lens I was using, I wasn't able to get more of it. I still like this shot regardless.

It is said if you fold 1000 paper cranes, you will be granted 1 wish by the gods.

 

Another prayer station. This one was simply a place to write your prayers on paper and hang them up.

The city of Benares or Kashi is traditionally called Mahashamshana, ‘the great cremation ground’. Hindus believe that cremation at the holy city insures moksha, or final liberation of the soul from the endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth.

 

Dying persons and dead bodies from far-off places are brought to Kashi for cremation in the wood burning flames of Manikarnika.

This station was fairly simple. Instead of just saying our prayers out loud, we had a chance to write them down on constructino paper and hang them up.

 

The apparatus is a large, wooden frame on wheels, about 6 feet by 7 feet that I had custom made. It holds the clothes line, as well as the white muslin in back. The image is a rear-projected video loop, showing various scenes. The concept is that our prayers come from our real world concerns and lives, as reflected in the scenes behind them.

Christ in the centre, Leicester

No, it wasn't my sister, my father, my friend

it was a part of me that died.

I watched my city burn today,

watched it fight, fall. Watched it cry.

Watched in the safety of my home,

surrounded by family and friends,

while other lost theirs to this deadly theatrical act,

which seemed like it would never end

A few men, a few guns, their crazed ruthlessness,

calmly entering through the sea..

ending hundreds of lives, breaking thousands more.

making a billion more like me.

It seems surreal our very existence,

there's a void that can't be filled.

hollow and helpless, we wait, mute spectators

watching our people being killed

There have been heroes, who without a second thought,

for us laid down their lives.

In the futility of it all, their courage, their sacrifice,

inspires us in our strife.

Yet with every tragic unnecessary death,

I see the very value of life fall.

Who till an hour ago was somebody's husband,

is but another number to us all.

No, it wasn't my sister, my father, my friend.

it was for mankind that I cried.

For I watched humanity burn today.

Watched it fight, fall and die.

- Author unknown, but simply incredible.

This is one of the upper rooms in the original part of the Gurdwara. The two men in the foreground are reading prayers of thanks for the completion of the Gurdwara. The large posters on the way tell the history of Sikhism from the middle 1400s to the modern era.

Giant prayer wheels in the Ghoom Monestary,Darjeling,India. By spinning the giat wheels (drums) the prayers are sent heavenwards. I believe they are spin continuously 24 hours a day every day of the year. They are bronze coated with gold leaf.

Each morning seminarians can take advantage of the opportunity for time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. This time of prayer is optional.
