Hierofanía: El acto de manifestación de lo sagrado. Solo implica que algo sagrado se nos muestra.
…Para aquellos que tienen una experiencia religiosa, la Naturaleza en su totalidad es susceptible de revelarse como sacralidad cósmica. El Cosmos en su totalidad puede convertirse en una hierofanía.
El hombre de las sociedades arcaicas tiene tendencia a vivir lo más posible en lo sagrado o en la intimidad de los objetos consagrados.
La Sociedad Moderna habita un Mundo desacralizado

Little Chaple of the Bishop Alcock in Ely Cathedral / Kapelle des Bischof Alcock in der Kathedrale von Ely
Some tourists in the Sint-Jacobskerk, Brugge, illustrating how tall and impressive medival churches were built.
This kind of tripartite window was a popular motif in sacral architecture, found in many architectural styles, including Romanesque and Gothic.
The model you see here represents my free-folding style which differs quite a bit from my clean folding style. I use it when designing new models or improvising.
Folded from a sheet of paper I found in my stock. It was together with other Elephant Hide sheets, and it felt like EH during folding, but the pattern differs a little from other sheets of the same color I have. Maybe it’s from a different production batch. The sheet was a 20 cm square, the only one of this size, which also suggests a different source than my other sheets. Maybe I got it from someone?
Happy Easter!

The door to the right as you enter the basilica leads to the crypt, a series of eerie vaults at the bottom of 50 steps, with tombs guarded by monoliths representing Mourning and Eternity. Among those at rest here are Cardinal József Mindszenty.
Ruins of a medieval fortified church are located above the village of Lúčka, situated at the border of the Slovenské rudohorie mountain range and the national park of Slovenský kras. The village had been known since 1409 as part of the Turňa Castle Estate donated to Pál Besen by King Sigismund.
According to the testimony provided by the local church, however, the village dates back to at least the half of the 13th century. The church itself was built as an early-Gothic church of the Gemer style. In the first half of the 15th century, it was surrounded by a defensive stone wall with a watchtower situated in the front. The small fortress was captured by Jan Jiskra’s troopsand is commonly called the Hussite church by the locals. Only the external walls of the church and the considerably lowered defensive wall with the tower that later on served as a belfry have been preserved up to the present. The quadratic tower used to have two floors in the past, with three windows on the first floor and three loopholes on the ground floor that served to watch the surroundings and to protect the fortress from three sides: the west, the south, and the east. The top of the slope upon which the church was built provided for the natural protection from the north.
The area where the church stands counts among the ecologically cleanest territories in Slovakia. It provides for exceptionally good conditions for recreationin a peaceful natural setting and for short walks in the basin of the Čremošná, to the lake of Lúčka, as well as to the surrounding beech and fir forests. Moreover, the unique natural reserve of Zádielska dolina is located in close distance, lined with plateaux where traces of fortified prehistoric settlements were confirmed by archaeological surveys.

La iglesia parroquial de San Juan se encuentra en el distrito de Würzburg de Haug y, por lo tanto, también se llama Abadía de Haug. Construido entre 1670 y 1691, el edificio sacro tiene una fachada de doble torre y una gran cúpula de 60 metros de altura.
La mostra To be or not to be approfondisce il tema del teschio, da sempre utilizzato nella storia dell'arte come richiamo alla mortalità dell'uomo, oggi simbolo effimero, privato della sua sacralità, di cui si appropria la moda, il design, ...l'arte contemporanea. Gli Orticanoodles ripropongono l'immagine del teschio in una serie di ritratti di personaggi mediaticamente noti, che vengono decorticati e resi crani vuoti. To be or not to be, il dilemmia shakespeariano, ci porta a riflettere su che cosa resta di questi uomini e donne una volta tolta l'immagine che crea il loro status. Attraverso la tecnica dello stencil, che utilizzano magistralmente, gli Orticanoodles ci mettono a confronto con la questione dell'identità, dell'immagine costruita, per far passare un messaggio. Gli artisti propongono delle opere, attraverso le quali lo spettatore si può specchiare e interrogarsi sul suo proprio apparire. Il linguaggio di Wally e Alita utilizza proprio i parametri visivi della cultura pop e della pubblicità per deformarne il messaggio e fare critica sociale. I loro teschi ci chiedono: che cosa conta davvero? Apparire o agire? Vivere o morire? To be or not to be?

Minaret of the central mosque of Seville, which is today the , its construction began in 1184. Its name comes from the weathervane at the top of tower and which is known as the Giraldillo, which is in fact probably the best known symbol of the city. It was originally called the Triumph of the Victorious Faith and was once the largest bronze sculpture of the European Renaissance.
Construction concluded in 1568 with the addition of Renaissance bell chamber. Interestingly, the city of Marrakech has a twin tower just like the Giralda.
The tower, due to its complex history, comprises several perfectly interweaved sections, reflecting the cultural melting-pot in the city. For the construction of the Moorish part, as can be seen in its base, the remains of the buildings and stonework of Roman Hispalis were used, as they show various blocks with Latin epigraphs. The main body is square and the top part shows a polished style executed by Hernán Ruiz II.
The Giralda has 24 bells, 18 of which turn around and 6 of which are clapper. It is, therefore, the cathedral with the greatest number of bells.
The St. Ursus Cathedral is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Basel in the city of Solothurn, Switzerland. The interior is an impressive example of neoclassical architecture made of light marble (Jura limestone). The cathedral was constructed between the years 1762 and 1773.

The monastery of the Benedictine Order at Pannonhalma was founded in 996 in Western Hungary and had a major role in the diffusion of Christianity in medieval Central Europe. The monastery shows a stratification of different architectural styles and various buildings.
Among these buildings: a school (the first ever school founded in the country), the monastic complex – home to the monks whose life is still based on St. Benedict’s Rule ‘Ora et labora’ -, the tourist welcome points and hospitality facilities, the Chapel of Our Lady, the Millennium Chapel and the botanical and herbal gardens.

Photo was exhibited at 3rd International Art Exhibition of Sacral Motifs, organized by photo club Kornat (2017, Zadar, Croatia).
In the vicinity of Jelšava, an old mining village Rákoš hides a quiet church with unique Gothic paintings. The church was built on an elevated site in the northern part of the village under the slope of Železník Hill on top of which a castle of the Bubek Family was once standing.
The Roman Catholic Church of the Holy Trinity is an early Gothic single-nave building from the mid-13th century. It has still a Romanesque horseshoe-shaped apse and slotted Romanesque windows, but the entrance portal is already formed by a Gothic arch. The nave has a flat wooden painted ceiling from the end of the 17th century. In front of the church stands a Baroque brick belfry with a wooden superstructure.
Wall paintings from the last third of the 15th century cover the walls and the vault of the chancel and almost the entire northern wall of the nave. High-quality Italian fresco paintings can be seen, a piece of art ordered by the wealthy noblemen from the House of Bubek. Travelling through northern Italy in the service of King Louis the Great, they had an opportunity to acquaint themselves with the best works of Italian masters whom they brought to the Kingdom of Hungary to decorate churches in Plešivec, Štítnik, and Rákoš. The vault of the sanctuary depicts the Christ Pantocrator with angels, the four church fathers and the symbols of the Evangelists (Matthew – angel, Mark – lion, Luke – bull, and John – eagle). On the walls of the sanctuary, we can find prophets, apostles and three saint kings: Ladislaus, Stephen, and Emeric. In the window lining, there are figures of women saints: Catherine, Barbara, Elisabeth and Margaret of Hungary. One of the most interesting parts is the unconventional depiction of Christ standing in a grave held by Mother Mary. The scene is complemented with the figures of an angel and of St. John the Baptist. Figures of saints, prophets, a depiction of the ten virgins, a partially damaged figure of the Virgin Mary Protector and a very well-preserved sitting figure of God with three faces giving blessings are on the walls of the triumphal arch. This unusual way of portraying the Holy Trinity which has been later banned by the Trident Council for its striking resemblance to the pagan god Triglav, still appears in two other locations in Slovakia – Ochtiná (logo of the Gothic Route) and Žehra.
The northern wall of the nave is almost entirely covered with murals in three horizontal bands. The upper band depicts scenes from the St. Ladislaus legend, it shows lancer horse riders of the St. Ladislaus’s royal entourage at the forefront, in a dynamic moment of fight with the Cumans. The second and the third band below portray the Last Judgment with the central figure of Christ the Redeemer with angels and a number of saints on the sides. Right below them we can see open graves from which dead are rising. Archangel Michael divides them into two groups, the saved ones, who walk to the left towards the heaven‘s gate, and the damned ones, whose chains are bound by the devils to the gate of hell. The most recent of the paintings date back to the first half of the 15th century; they depict the Assumption of the Virgin, individual figures of saints and the Stigmatization of St. Francis. We have chosen the hand of St. Francis with a stigma as the logo of the church. On the outer southern wall of the church, fragments of the painting of Madonna and Child have been preserved. Since 1992, there have been intermittent renewal activities of the church taking place, during which the restoration of murals was included. Furniture is stored and it would be returned into the church, once the restoration works are finished.
I've been in this beautiful library several times before. It was always so crowded, that I even didn't think about taking the camera out. Guess I was lucky this time...

Adjoining the cathedral of Siena is the Piccolomini Library, housing precious illuminated choir books and frescoes based on designs by Raphael.
The visual impact of these very colourful frescoes is stunning. The frescoes tell the story of the life of Siena's favourite son, cardinal Enea Silvio Piccolomini, who eventually became Pope Pius II.
In the middle of the library is the famous statue Three Graces, a Roman copy of a Greek original.
