ENG: Hi, everybody out there. Somehow it's strange when the landmarks of a city are so empty. Only very few people have crossed my way on Monday during my little bike tour to free my head from the clinic everyday life. That is somehow eerie and surreal.
You can see the Berlin Cathedral Dome in Berlin's Mitte district.

GER: Hi ihr lieben da draußen. Irgendwie ist es schon komisch, wenn die Wahrzeichen einer Stadt so verweist sind. Nur ganz ganz wenige Leute haben meinen Weg am Montag gekreuzt bei meiner kleinen Radtour um den Kopf vom Klinik Alltag freizubekommen. Das ist schon irgendwie unheimlich und surreal.
Zu sehen ist der Berliner Dom im Berliner Ortsteil Mitte.

LO QUE HACES CON DULZURA, REZUMA AMOR
Donde siembras, recoges.
Si pones dulzura en tu manera de cocinar, en tus alimentos… comes amor.
Si pones dulzura en tu familia, en tus relaciones, en tu trabajo… estás creando un entorno de sanación para todos.
Si pones dulzura en las tareas del hogar, estás haciendo de tu casa un santuario.
Puedes elegir transformar tu mundo, y enseñar a otros cómo transformar el suyo, llevando la paz, la calma y el agradecimiento a tus acciones.
Paso a paso, día a día, mes a mes… suma cambios amorosos que se irán estableciendo en tu vida como el “nuevo normal”.
Con tu dulzura y tu consciencia, de-vuelve a tus palabras, a tus relaciones, a tus espacios y entornos… su importancia y su Sacralidad.
En amor y por amor a la Tierra, y a todos los seres que la habitamos.

Despite the St.Stephens Cathedral being undoubtedly Viennas most famous church it is certainly not the oldest. The St.Peters church which is located in the immediate vicinity of the St.Stephens Cathedral was (re-)built in the second half of the 4th century. Originally the Roman building served for military purposes. At that time Vienna went by the name of Vindobona, and was a Roman fort.
The picture shows the dome of the church with it's stunning fresco.
The pilgrimage church of the Birth of Mary in Schießen, a community near the former Roggenburg monastery, was rebuilt between 1681 and 1686, as the pilgrimage to Schießen is becoming increasingly popular and the old church is becoming too small.
In 1781 the church was renovated and painted in line with the new zeitgeist. The Weissenhorn artists Christian Eitele and Konrad Huber are among those involved.

Una slanciata e pregevole chiesa romanica, eretta nella metà del XII secolo e sede vescovile fino ai primi anni del 1500 di un villaggio medioevale oggi scomparso. Nostra Signora di Castro deve il suo nome alla presenza nei suoi pressi di un forte romano, un “castrum”, che divenne poi il toponimo Castro, attribuito alla diocesi del borgo di cui fu appunto cattedrale. Il piccolo tempio è costruito in trachite con gradazioni di colore dal rosa al rosso, e presenta una scalinata sul davanti composta da cinque gradini. Su una delle fiancate si apre un portico, posteriore alla chiesa, formato da quattro arcate e collegato da un portale all’edificio maggiore.
Lo splendido contesto in cui è inserita la chiesa ne esalta la suggestione e conferisce al luogo una sacralità che appaga lo sguardo e lo spirito.

Die Jesuitenkirche ist der erste grosse, sakrale Barockbau in der Schweiz.
1666 begann der Bau, 1677 wurde die Jesuitenkirche feierlich eingeweiht. Eindrucksvoll ist auch die Akustik des prächtigen Kirchenraumes. Er dient heute neben Gottesdiensten auch der Ausbildung von Organisten der Luzerner Hochschule für Musik und als Konzertlokalität.
The Jesuit Church is the first large, sacral Baroque building in Switzerland.
Construction began in 1666, and in 1677 the Jesuit church was inaugurated. Impressive are also the acoustics of the magnificent church space. Today, in addition to services, it also serves as a training place for organists at the Lucerne University of Music and as a concert venue.
It was to be five domes, based on the model of the Holy Sepulcher of St. Anthony in Padua, as the client, Pastor Johann Ulrich Julius, wanted it. But such an execution clearly exceeds the financial means of the parish. But master builder Johann Georg Fischer built the desired five domes, not visible from the outside, as a so-called pendentive dome without a drum ring, a nave dome, a dome above the crossing and in the choir, as well as the domes in the two side chapels.
In 1727 Fischer delivered the final design, and the first mass could be celebrated in the church as early as 1733. Fischer entrusts the construction work to his foreman Paul Bienz.
Ignaz Finsterwalder contributes significantly to the splendid furnishings with his stucco. The frescoes, created by Matthias Wolcker and Anton Wenzeslaus Haffe, are also excellent work.
"Originario dell’Asia Minore, l’albero del noce, appartiene alla famiglia delle Juglandacee, dal termine latino “Iovis glans”, ghianda di Giove, a testimonianza della sacralità e del legame con la divinità, probabilmente grazie alla sua maestosità ed alla peculiarità di crescere in luoghi isolati, lontani da altre specie arboree. Quest’ultima caratteristica, si deve alla presenza di una sostanza tossica, la juglandina, secreta dalle radici e dalle foglie, che provoca la morte delle altre piante nelle vicinanze. L’albero del noce è stato importato prima in Grecia e poi a Roma, attorno al 100 a.C, e si è diffuso, successivamente, in tutta Europa grazie alle proprietà nutrizionali dei suoi frutti, molto calorici (ben 650 calorie per 100 grammi), ma ricchi di vitamina B, sali minerali, potassio, fosforo, calcio, ferro e magnesio. Tutte caratteristiche ideali, che ne hanno fatto alimento principe dell’alimentazione rurale, soprattutto nei lunghi periodi di carestia. Testimonianze dell’uso delle noci nell’alimentazione dei romani sono state rinvenute durante gli scavi di Ercolano, grazie al ritrovamento di alcuni frutti carbonizzati, mentre nei dipinti della Villa dei Misteri di Pompei sono raffigurati alcuni frutti. Proprio nell’area vesuviana e sulla costiera Sorrentina, vengono ancora prodotte le Noci di Sorrento, una delle specie più pregiate, di cui esistono due varietà certificate: una più allungata e leggermente appuntita da un lato e smussata alla base ed una seconda, più piccola e tondeggiante.
Versatili, oleose e dal sapore sfizioso e gradevole, le noci sono state usate, e lo sono ancora oggi, come ingredienti per la preparazione di gustose ricette, dagli antipasti, ai primi piatti ai dolci, senza dimenticare il pregiato liquore, il Nocino, o Nocello, che si ricava dai malli acerbi, raccolti, come tradizione vuole, il 24 giugno, la Notte di San Giovanni, che coincide con il Solstizio d’Estate. Tuttavia, fin dai tempi più antichi, il noce ed i suoi frutti sono stati oggetto di storie e leggende, che, nei secoli, hanno contribuito ad attribuire a questo albero ed ai suoi frutti una nomea più o meno sinistra, al punto che, ancora oggi, si usa il termine “nocivo” per indicare qualcosa di dannoso per la salute. In particolare, l’albero del noce è legato all’elemento femminile ed alle storie nate attorno alle streghe. Ma come si è arrivati a questa fama sinistra? Indubbiamente, fin dai tempi più antichi, il noce è stato amato ed odiato: indispensabile dal punto di vista alimentare, da un lato, temuto per le leggende nate attorno alle sue fronde, dall’altro."

Church of st. Mary Magdalene in Dukla is one of the most valuable Polish rococo churches.
It was built as a gothic one, around 1461, with a brick chancel and a wooden nave. When in 1738 there was a fire in the city, the nave burned down entirely, and the chancel became the basis for the reconstruction of the temple.
The owner of Dukla and the Grand Marshal of the Crown, Józef Wandalin Mniszech, the same one who donated the land for the Bernardine monastery, undertook it. The temple was given a baroque appearance, but another fire and the death of Józef Vandalin in 1747 interrupted the work. They were continued in 1764 by the son of the marshal, Jerzy August Mniszech, supported by his wife, Maria Amalia. It was then that the church's interior acquired a rococo interior and fittings that have survived to this day.

St. Martin, the Catholic parish church of the community, is built right next to Aulendorf Castle. Romanesque in origin, the church has undergone numerous alterations and additions over the centuries. A rich and valuable equipment contributes to the appearance. The stucco should be emphasized, it is a so-called mortar stucco, not the usual plaster stucco.
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.
Located on the north side, the Gate of the Conception leads to the courtyard of orange trees. Completed in 1887, this doorway seamlessly matches the Gothic style of the Cathedral. Its façade features a depiction of Jesus as a priest with his apostles. Despite being added later, it harmonizes beautifully with the building’s historic architecture.
When the mighty blooming spirits of the Spring appear among our reality and whisper us about the sacral beauty...

The Metten Monastery was founded in the 8th century and was one of the original Bavarian monasteries. Under Abbot Roman II, the church, which dates from the Carolingian era, was redesigned in Baroque style between 1712 and 1729, based on plans by Jakob Ruesch.
In 1722 the Austrian Franz Josef Holzinger stuccoed the church interior, Wolfgang Andreas Heindl, also from Austria, painted the frescoes.
One of the most beautiful village churches in Bavaria is in Gabelbach, a municipality in the Augsburg district.
The church was built between 1737 and 1738 under the direction of the master builder Johannes Paulus. The consecration takes place in 1746.
The plasterers Ignaz and Johann Finsterwalder and, probably, Johann Georg Wolcker for the painting are responsible for the splendid furnishings.
On the west gallery is the oldest organ still in use in the Augsburg district from 1609. It is a work by Marx Günzer. Originally built for the Barfüsser Church in Augsburg, it came to Gabelbach in 1758, purchased for 250 guilders by pastor Dominikus Paulus.
