Haridwar es una de las ciudades mas sagradas de India. Los peregrinos acuden en riadas para hacer abluciones en el sagrado Ganges. Haridwar esta muy concurrida durante el yatra, de abril a noviembre pero el gran evento anual es el Magh Mela que cada seis agnos se convierte en el Ardh Magh Mela y cada doce agnos en el Kumbh Mela (ultimo en 2010) que atrae a millones de peregrinos (pronto haremos una entrada sobre este evento que se celebrara a finales de enero de 2013 en Allahabad).
La ciudad puede recordar en cierta manera a Varanasi (sin tanto pesado y con el agua limpia), aunque quizas con un poco mas de ambiente.
El Ghat principal es el Har-Ki-Pairi-Ghat (el Ghat de la Pisada de Dios) ya que se eleva en el lugar exacto en el que Visnu vertio un poco de nectar divino y dejo impresa la huella de su pie. Es un lugar de enorme sacralidad para los hindues, un sitio donde expiar los pecados. A la noche cientos de fieles se reunen para la Ganga Aarti (ceremonia de adoracion al rio). El mejor momento para visitar el Ghat es a primera hora de la manana o justo antes del anochecer, aunque hay ambiente durante todo el dia.
ENG: You cann see the reconstructed evangelic St. Nikolai church from 1837 in Potsdam at the Old Market Square. The listed sacral building was designed by the architects Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Ludwig Persius and Friedrich August Stüler. A special feature is the tambour dome of the 77 metre high building, which rises far above the roofs of the city and was erected between 1843 and 1850.
Towards the end of the Second World War, the sacred building was struck during the air raid on Potsdam and subsequently severely damaged by Soviet artillery fire. After many years of reconstruction, the church of the Evangelical Church of St. Nicholas in Potsdam was consecrated again in 1981 and has been open to visitors daily ever since. In addition to church services, concerts are also held in the Nikolaikirche.
GER: Sie können hier die rekonstruierte evangelische St. Nikolai-Kirche von 1837 in Potsdam auf dem Alten Marktplatz sehen. Der unter Denkmalschutz stehender Sakralbau stammt aus der Architekten Feder von Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Ludwig Persius sowie Friedrich August Stüler. Eine Besonderheit ist die weit über den Dächern der Stadt emporragende Tambourkuppel des 77 Meter hohen Gebäudes, diese wurde in der Zeit von 1843 bis 1850 errichtet.
Gegen Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde der Sakralbau beim Luftangriff auf Potsdam getroffen und anschließend durch sowjetischen Artilleriebeschuss schwer beschädigt. Nach langen Jahren des Wiederaufbaus konnte das Gotteshaus der Evangelischen St.-Nikolai-Kirchengemeinde Potsdam 1981 erneut geweiht werden und ist seitdem täglich für Besucher geöffnet. Neben den Gottesdiensten finden in der Nikolaikirche auch Konzertveranstaltungen statt.

La vita, sul pianeta, dipende dalla luce: innanzitutto dalla luce. E' lei, la luce, il potente motore che attiva i processi biochimici che sono alla base dell'intero Sistema Vivente. E' lei, il miracolo cosmico da cui dipende la bellezza espressa dal Pianeta Azzurro di cui siamo ospiti ingrati. Per questo, soprattutto per questo, al cospetto di un soffio di luce dovremmo tutti esprimere un sacrale rispetto :-) ..... ..

Saint Michael’s Cathedral of Alba Iulia was built between 1247 and 1291, which makes it contemporary to the famous Notre Dame of Paris. Furthermore, it appears that a great French architect, Villard de Honnecourt, contributed to its design. In addition to being the oldest and the longest cathedral in Romania (at 89.16 m measured along its axis), it is also considered the most important monument of Romanesque architecture in Transylvania.
The site is registered in the National Archaeological Repertory of Romania.
The Monastery at Lébény was established between 1199 and 1203, by a nobleman, for private worship. The complex was dedicated to the Apostle Saint James the Great. Though the existing charter for approving the donations and construction was signed by Andreas II (1208), one of the walls of the church had “1206” engraved in them, which may indicate that the church was already built at that time. It is also mentioned in the RegestrumVaradiense (an important language memorial), which was made in the late cathedral chapter of the present Oradea (Nagyvárad) in the 13th century. The monastery of Lébény was attacked and burnt down several times; the first by Mongols, then the second by King Ottokar I of Bohemia; and thereafter by the Turks, which was probably in 1529 and definitely in 1683. The monastery was taken back from the Turks by the arch-abbot of Pannonhalma in 1540. He named a new abbot, though the title only existed on paper for a little bit longer than two decades. In 1563 the monastery was burnt down again for the third time and was left devoured. Presently, the only part of the complex that is still standing is the iconic three-nave Romanesque church in the middle of Lébény village. This church is one of the most important Romanesque style buildings of Hungary, which was most probably restored in the 17th century by the Jesuits, and it was the first ever Hungarian monument that was restored in the second half of the 19th century. In addition, the Romanesque church is also operating as a parish of the village.

A jewel among churches - the wooden Church of St. St. Nicholas is one of the oldest and most beautiful wooden churches in Slovakia. The three-part log building with a richly ornamented shingled roof and three towers was built in 1658. In 2008 it was entered in the UNESCO World Heritage List together with seven other wooden churches from the area of Slovak Carpathians.
The sacral monument is a part of a unique complex located in the center of Bodružal in the Svidník district. In addition to the temple, it also consists of a separate bell tower, an adjacent cemetery and a wooden fence with a shingled roof and an entrance gate covered by a conical roof.
The three church towers symbolizing the Holy Trinity will catch your attention for sure. The highest tower houses the bells, which were used for military purposes at the beginning of the World War I - the inhabitants of the village replaced them in the second half of the 1920s. The oldest preserved bell features the inscription “1759”.

Kalkar is a municipality in the district of Kleve, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is located near the Rhine, approx. 10 km south-east of Cleves. The most famous building of Kalkar is its church St. Nicolai, which has one of the most significant sacral inventory from the late Middle Ages in Europe or the Brick Gothic town hall build in 1446.
Kalkar was founded by Dirk VI of Cleves in 1230 and received city rights in 1242. It was one of the seven "capitals" of Cleves (called Kleve), until the line of the Duchy of Cleves died out in 1609, whereupon the city went over to the Margraviate of Brandenburg. Marie of Burgundy, Duchess of Cleves retired to Monreberg castle in Kalkar, where she founded a Dominican convent in 1455. Under her influence the city bloomed and artists were attracted to the favorable climate for cultural investment. She died at Monreberg castle in 1463.
The "Seven Churches", a major destination for pilgrimage in the Middle Ages, but these days in ruins except for a small graveyard. The site is situated in the west of Inishmore, the largest of the Aran Islands in County Galway, Ireland.
