Constructed in 1882, the historic Chicago & Northwestern Railway Stone Arch Bridge is is a popular stopping point along the Stone Bridge Trail that today runs along the former railway bed between Rockton and Roscoe in Winnebago County, north of the City of Rockford. The double-arch bridge, which crosses over South Kinnikinnick Creek, is made of dolomitic limestone. The bridge replaced an earlier wooden structure, and was a key element in the local sand quarry commerce which supplied Chicago, 90 miles to the east, with the necessary elements for masonry and concrete construction materials.

 

The C&NW RR Stone Arch Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.

Tucked into the northwest corner of Illinois is the City of Galena, a small town known for its well-preserved 19th-century buildings, shopping, dining, entertainment, and an abundance of historic houses and mansions that are now bed and breakfasts. Galena also was the home of Ulysses S. Grant when he was elected the 18th President of the United States in 1868.

 

On the corner at 201 S. Main St. is the Schmohl Building, an Italian style two-part commercial block built in 1887. Next to it is another Italianate style commercial building whose name has been lost to history that was built in 1848. Nearly every building in this southerly view of the west side of the 200 block of S. Main St. is a contributing property in the Galena Historic District, which encompasses a remarkable 85 percent of the City of Galena and includes more than 800 properties. The Galena Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, with modifications in 2013.

 

Galena is the seat of Jo Daviess County. This is the un-glaciated area of northwestern Illinois. The rolling hills, history and abundant 19th century architecture draws visitors from throughout the country. The estimated population of Galena in 2019 was 3,158.

Redlove® boasts long-lasting and unusual deep pink blossom, and unique fruit that is dark red, both outside and inside, revealing a beautiful pattern when you slice through it. The juicy, fragrant flesh has a texture that can be likened to a Cox apple, but with an extra range of subtle cherry fruit flavours. A delicious eater, it is also ideal for cooking (it retains its red colour). Try it in fruit salads (it doesn't turn brown), pies, puddings and tarts. Or simply enjoy a glass of mouth-watering freshly squeezed juice!

Gerbera

In 1737, the gerbera plant was discovered by a botanist. This botanist worked together with a German doctor: Traugott Gerber. This is also where the gerbera gets its name from. A huge number of gerberas were exported, but now the Netherlands is an important country for growing gerberas and more and more new varieties are being grown. www.regiobloemist.nl/bloemengids/gerbera

Another shot of the forgotten Notch,MO. post office run by the venerable Uncle Ike,aka Levi Morrill till 1926.He was immortalized in the classic novel "The Shepherd of the Hills" by Harold Wright. It is listed on the National register of historic places, but has been abandoned....

 

"The Shepherd of the Hills" was later made into a popular movie in 1941 starring John Wayne and directed by Harry Hathaway. They would team up again for the classic "True Grit" many years later.

The brilliant red Pier 14 Pilot Station in Astoria, Oregon really stands out against the deep blue waters of the Columbia River and the white clouds. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and is home to the Columbia River Bar Pilots, a group of highly experienced pilots who have guided ships for over 170 years. They currently guide approximately 3,600 vessel crossings of the bar each year - from 100-foot tugs to 1,100-foot tankers, bulk carriers, car carriers, log ships, general cargo ships, container ships and passenger ships. The top floor of the building is a vacation rental called the Pilot House.

Αγία Βαρβάρα Η Μεγαλομάρτυς Εορτή 4 Δεκεμβρίου

 

Βιογραφία

Η Αγία Βαρβάρα έζησε κατά τους χρόνους του αυτοκράτορος Μαξιμιανού (286 - 305 μ.Χ.) και ήταν κόρη του ειδωλολάτρη Διοσκόρου ο οποίος ήταν από τους πιο πλούσιους ειδωλολάτρες της Ηλιουπόλεως.

 

Ο πατέρας της λόγω της σωματικής ωραιότητας της Αγίας, την φύλαγε κλεισμένη εντός πύργου. Δεν γνωρίζουμε που διδάχθηκε τις χριστιανικές αλήθειες, καθώς ο πατέρας της ήταν φανατικός ειδωλολάτρης, λόγος για τον οποίο άλλωστε προσπάθησε να κρατήσει κρυφή την πίστη της στον Τριαδικό Θεό. Ένα τυχαίο περιστατικό, όμως, την πρόδωσε. Ο πατέρας της πληροφορήθηκε από τεχνίτες ότι η Αγία ζήτησε να τις ανοίξουν τρία παράθυρα στον πύργο όπου ήταν έγκλειστη, στο όνομα της Αγίας Τριάδος και, έτσι, βεβαιώθηκε ότι η κόρη του είχε γίνει Χριστιανή.

 

Εξοργίσθηκε τόσο που την κυνήγησε εντός του πύργου με το ξίφος του για να την φονεύσει. Η Αγία κατέφυγε στα όρη, αλλά ο πατέρας της την συνέλαβε και την παρέδωσε στον τοπικό άρχοντα, Μαρκιανό, κατηγορώντας την για την πίστη της. Όταν ανακρίθηκε, ομολόγησε με παρρησία την πίστη της στον Χριστό και καθύβρισε τα είδωλα. Μετά από φρικτά βασανιστήρια, διεπομπέφθη γυμνή στην πόλη και τέλος σφαγιάσθηκε από τον ίδιο τον πατέρα της. Την στιγμή όμως που είχε αποτελειώσει το έγκλημά του, έπεσε νεκρός χτυπημένος από κεραυνό κατά θεία δίκη.

 

Η σύναξη της Αγίας ετελείτο στο μαρτύριο αυτής, στον Βασιλίσκο πλησίον της αγίας Ζηναΐδος.

 

Η Αγία Βαρβάρα θεωρείται όχι μόνο στην Ελλάδα αλλά και σ΄ άλλες Χώρες Αγία προστάτις πυροβολικού. Στην Ελλάδα καθιερώθηκε ως Προστάτις του όπλου αυτού το 1828 μ.Χ. όπου και αναφέρεται η πρώτη σχετική τελετή με δοξολογία και παράθεση στη συνέχεια γεύματος όπου έλαβαν μέρος αξιωματικοί και οπλίτες πυρβολητές.

 

Στη Ορθόδοξη εικονογραφία η Αγία Βαρβάρα ζωγραφίζεται πολλές φορές μ’ ένα ποτήριο στο χέρι όντας προστάτιδα ενάντια στο αιφνίδιο θάνατο και μη θέλοντας να στερηθούν οι ετοιμοθάνατοι την θεία κοινωνία. Συχνά τη συναντούμε κοντά σ΄ έναν πύργο (με τρία παράθυρα) ή κρατώντας ένα βιβλίο (για τους ετοιμοθάνατους) ή ένα κλαδί φοίνικα.

 

Saint Barbara the Great Martyr Feast of December 4

 

Biography

Saint Barbara lived during the reign of Emperor Maximian (286 - 305 AD) and was the daughter of the pagan Dioscorus who was one of the richest pagans of Heliopolis.

 

Her father, due to the physical beauty of the Saint, kept her locked inside a tower. We do not know where she learned the Christian truths, as her father was a fanatical pagan, which is why she tried to keep her faith in the Triune God secret. An accident, however, betrayed her. Her father was informed by craftsmen that the Saint asked them to open three windows in the tower where she was imprisoned, in the name of the Holy Trinity, and thus, he was convinced that his daughter had become a Christian.

 

He became so angry that he chased her inside the tower with his sword to kill her. The Saint took refuge in the mountains, but her father arrested her and handed her over to the local lord, Marciano, accusing her of her faith. When interrogated, she openly confessed her faith in Christ and despised idols. After horrific torture, she was deported naked to the city and finally slaughtered by her own father. But at the moment when his crime was over, he fell dead struck by lightning during a divine trial.

 

The gathering of the Saint took place in her martyrdom, in Vasiliskos near Saint Zinaidos.

 

Saint Barbara is considered not only in Greece but also in other countries as a patron saint of artillery. In Greece he was established as the Protector of this weapon in 1828 AD. where the first relevant ceremony is mentioned with doxology and a dinner followed by officers and hoplite shooters.

 

In Orthodox iconography, St. Barbara is often painted with a glass in her hand, being a protector against sudden death and not wanting the dying to be deprived of divine communion. We often find it near a tower (with three windows) or holding a book (for the dying) or a palm branch.
