Savior Cathedral, Ulanovo Villiage, Verkhneuslonsky District, Tatarstan, Russia. Built in 1802-1805.
La Iglesia del Salvador sobre la Sangre Derramada o Iglesia de la Resurrección de Cristo (en ruso:Храм Спаса на Крови) es una iglesia de San Petersburgo, situada en la orilla del canal Griboyédova (nombrado en honor de Aleksandr Griboyédov) cerca del parque del Museo Ruso y de la Avenida Nevski. El nombre oficial en ruso es Собор Воскресения Христова, que significa catedral de la Resurrección de Cristo, y fue construida sobre el lugar donde el zar Alejandro II de Rusia fue asesinado, víctima de un atentado el 13 de marzo de 1881 (1 de marzo para el calendario juliano, en vigor en Rusia en esa época). Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el bloqueo de la ciudad, una bomba cayó encima de la cúpula más alta de la iglesia. La bomba no explotó y estuvo dentro de la cúpula de la iglesia durante 19 años. Sólo cuando los obreros subieron a la cúpula para remendar las goteras, la bomba fue encontrada y retirada. Entonces se decidió comenzar la restauración de la Iglesia de la sangre derramada. Tras 27 años de restauración, la Iglesia del Salvador sobre la Sangre Derramada fue inaugurada como museo estatal donde los visitantes pueden conocer la historia del asesinato de Alejandro II.
La iglesia fue diseñada en estilo ecléctico conjuntamente por el arquitecto Alfred Parland y el archimandrita Ignati (nombre secular Mályshev), rector del monasterio Tróitse-Sérguievski. La construcción de la iglesia se inició en 1883 durante el reinado de Alejandro III, como conmemoración a su padre asesinado en ese mismo lugar dos años antes. Los trabajos se prolongaron y fue finalizada en 1907, bajo el reinado de Nicolás II: los fondos necesarios procedieron de las arcas de la familia imperial y de numerosas donaciones privadas.
A finales de marzo de 1883, el Zar aprobó la composición de la Comisión de Consolidación con el Gran Duque Vladímir Aleksándrovich como su director. La primera sesión de la Comisión decidió el nombre del templo, como la Iglesia de la Resurrección de Cristo, como lo sugirió el archimandrita Ignati.
Un fragmento de la barandilla de hierro fundido, pedazos de granito y algunas piedras manchadas de sangre de Alejandro II fueron retirados del lugar para mantenerse como reliquias en la capilla en la Plaza de Konyúshennaya. Posteriormente, volvieron a donde pertenecían y fue erigido sobre el lugar un pabellón, como solía hacerse en las tradiciones de la arquitectura rusa. El 6 de octubre de 1883, se celebró la ceremonia de colocación de la primera piedra, con asistencia del metropolitano Isidoro de San Petersburgo y Nóvgorod y miembros de la familia imperial.
La Iglesia de la Resurrección tardó 24 años en construirse. Este lapso relativamente largo puede ser atribuido a la decoración abundante y variada y al uso en la construcción de técnicas de ingeniería innovadoras en la época. Los cimientos de estacas fueron abandonados por primera vez en la historia de San Petersburgo, a favor de unos de cemento. Un sofisticado aislamiento hidráulico fue desarrollado para proteger a la iglesia de las aguas del canal. Calefacción de vapor y sistemas eléctricos se instalaron después.
El 19 de agosto de 1907, el Metropolitano Antonio de San Petersburgo y Ládoga consagró la iglesia. El nuevo templo surgió junto al canal Griboyédova (anteriormente llamado Canal de Catalina), para perpetuar la memoria del emperador asesinado, Alejandro II.
La Iglesia de la Resurrección (Iglesia del Salvador sobre la Sangre Derramada) es una de las iglesias más significativas en San Petersburgo. Su composición vibrante, pictórica y la decoración multicolor lo convierten en un punto destacado y distintivo en la arquitectura del entorno del centro de la ciudad. La Iglesia de San Salvador puede ser correctamente llamada un monumento de "estilo ruso" en San Petersburgo. Conforme a lo solicitado por Alejandro III, Alfred Parland diseñó la iglesia en el estilo del siglo XVIII y la arquitectura de Moscú y Yaroslavl. Él imaginariamente reelaboró las ideas de la arquitectura eclesiástica de la época anterior a Pedro el Grande para crear una iglesia que personificara el templo ortodoxo ruso.
El plan de la iglesia es una estructura compacta de cinco cúpulas, se completa con tres ábsides semicirculares en la parte este y un enorme pilar como la torre de campana en el extremo oeste. El techo de carpa octogonal de la torre ocupa la posición central. Este elemento tiene una estrecha afinidad con una serie de iglesias monumentales conmemorativas que datan de los siglos XVI al XVII.
La Iglesia es de ladrillo rojo y marrón, toda la superficie de sus paredes está cubierta de adornos elaborados y detallados, similares a los producidos por maestros del siglo XVII en Moscú y Yaroslavl. Bandas y cruces de ladrillo de color, azulejos policromados establecido en los huecos de la pared, "shirinka", azulejos en los tejados de las torres y coberturas piramidales, ábside, pequeños arcos de calado, las columnas en miniatura y kokoshniki (arcos de ménsula) de mármol blanco. Los mosaicos desempeñan un papel importante en la creación de aspecto festivo de la Iglesia acentuando los elementos arquitectónicos principales: kokoshniki, puertas de dique, y frontones.
Las cinco cúpulas centrales de la Iglesia son únicas, chapadas en cobre y esmalte de diferentes colores, que recuerdan a las cúpulas policromadas de la Catedral de San Basilio en Moscú, que a menudo es comparada a la Iglesia de la Resurrección, a pesar de su diferencia total en la ordenación en planta. Las cúpulas más pequeñas en forma de cebolla sobre los ábsides y la cúpula del campanario son, como es habitual, doradas.
El nivel inferior de la torre del campanario está decorada con 134 mosaicos de escudos de armas de las provincias y pueblos rusos que hicieron donaciones para la construcción de la iglesia. Estos escudos de armas componen una colección heráldica única.
La Iglesia de la Resurrección de Cristo fue concebida como una de las principales iglesias de la capital, diseñada para servir como un recordatorio de las grandes hazañas realizadas por el zar Alejandro II, el Libertador.

The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood (Russian: Церковь Спаса на Крови, Tserkovʹ Spasa na Krovi) is one of the main sights of Saint Petersburg, Russia. Other names include the Church on Spilled Blood (Russian: Церковь на Крови, Tserkov’ na Krovi), the Temple of the Savior on Spilled Blood (Russian: Храм Спаса на Крови, Khram Spasa na Krovi), and the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ (Russian: Собор Воскресения Христова, Sobor Voskreseniya Khristova).
This church was built on the site where Emperor Alexander II was fatally wounded by political nihilists in March 1881. The church was built between 1883 and 1907. The construction was funded by the imperial family.
Construction began in 1883 during the reign of Alexander III, 2 years after the assassination of his father Alexander II. The church was dedicated to be a memorial to his father, Alexander II. Estimates suggest that the construction cost 4.5 million rubles. The construction was completed during the reign of Nicholas II in 1907. Funding was provided by the Imperial family with the support of many private donors.
The church is prominently situated along the Griboedov Canal; paved roads run along both sides of the canal. On March 13, 1881 (Julian date: March 1), as Tsar Alexander II's carriage passed along the embankment, a grenade thrown by an anarchist conspirator exploded. The tsar, shaken but unhurt, got out of the carriage and started to remonstrate with the presumed culprit. A second conspirator took the chance to throw another bomb, killing himself and mortally wounding the tsar. The tsar, bleeding heavily, was taken back to the Winter Palace, where he died a few hours later.
A temporary shrine was erected on the site of the attack while plans and fundraising for a more permanent memorial were undertaken. In order to build a permanent shrine on the exact spot where the assassination took place, it was decided to narrow the canal so that the section of road on which the tsar had been driving could be included within the walls of the church. An elaborate shrine, in the form of a ciborium, was constructed at the end of the church opposite the altar, on the exact place of Alexander's assassination. It is embellished with topaz, lazurite and other semi-precious stones, making a striking contrast with the simple cobblestones of the old road, which are exposed in the floor of the shrine.
Architecturally, the cathedral differs from Saint Petersburg's other structures. The city's architecture is predominantly Baroque and Neoclassical, but the Savior on Blood harks back to medieval Russian architecture in the spirit of romantic nationalism. It intentionally resembles the 17th-century Yaroslavl churches and the celebrated St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow.
The church contains over 7500 square meters of mosaics—according to its restorers, more than any other church in the world. This record may be surpassed by the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis, which houses 7700 square meters of mosaics. The interior was designed by some of the most celebrated Russian artists of the day—including Viktor Vasnetsov, Mikhail Nesterov and Mikhail Vrubel — but the church's chief architect, Alfred Alexandrovich Parland, was relatively little-known (born in Saint Petersburg in 1842 in a Baltic-German Lutheran family). Perhaps not surprisingly, the church's construction ran well over budget, having been estimated at 3.6 million rubles but ending up costing over 4.6 million. The walls and ceilings inside the church are completely covered in intricately detailed mosaics — the main pictures being biblical scenes or figures — but with very fine patterned borders setting off each picture.
In the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, the church was ransacked and looted, badly damaging its interior. The Soviet government closed the church in 1932. During the Second World War when many people were starving due to the Siege of Leningrad by Nazi German military forces, the church was used as a temporary morgue for those who died in combat and from starvation and illness. The church suffered significant damage. After the war, it was used as a warehouse for vegetables, leading to the sardonic name of Saviour on Potatoes.
In July 1970, management of the church passed to Saint Isaac's Cathedral and it was used as a museum. The proceeds from the Cathedral funded the restoration of the church. It was reopened in August 1997, after 27 years of restoration, but has not been reconsecrated and does not function as a full-time place of worship. The Church of the Saviour on Blood is a museum of mosaics. In the pre-Revolution period it was not used as a public place of worship. The church was dedicated to the memory of the assassinated tsar and only panikhidas (memorial services) took place. The church is now one of the main tourist attractions in Saint Petersburg.
In 2005, the State Museum of St. Isaac's Cathedral began the recreation of the Holy Gates (permanently lost in the 1920s during the Soviet period). Entirely produced with enamels and based on the pictures and lithographies of the time, the new Holy Gates were designed by V. J. Nikolsky and S. G. Kochetova and reified by the famous enamel artist L. Solomnikova and her atelier. Orthodox bishop Amvrosij of Gatchina celebrated the consecration of these new Holy Gates on 14 March 2012, the 129th anniversary of Alexander II's assassination.
One of the cooler projects I've been working on lately is an article on C-97s in the Biafran Airlift in 1969. I've interviewed several surviving aircrew and maintainers from the US and Israel and who served with either the Red Cross out of Cotonou, Dahomey or Joint Church Aid out of Sao Tome. The stories these guys have told are some of the craziest flying stories I've ever heard.
HB-ILY, the C-97G on display at the Pima Air and Space Museum, was one of four Stratofreighters operated by Balair on behalf of the Red Cross during the airlift, making two or sometimes three flights a night from Cotonou to Uli, Biafra, delivering food and medical supplies on a long stretch of highway in the middle of the jungle.
I shot this using green and red gels on the lights I used, which combined with the blackness of the night, comprise the three colors of the Biafran flag.
Article due out in The Aviation Historian magazine sometime in 2023.
Me mata el no saberlo he hecho todo menos olvidarlo,
como el color de sus ojos y sus cicatrices, o como las obtuvo.
Mientras los signos de la edad llueven una lágrima se derrama por los valles de un rostro envejecido que este mundo ha olvidado.
No hay reconciliación que me ponga en mi lugar
y no hay tiempo como el presente para agotar los escurridizos segundos.
Pero rara vez hago caso a mis palabras, constantemente te estoy fallando, como los muros que no podemos derribar hasta que desaparecemos.
Asique decime ahora...
¿Si no hay amor como saldremos de aquí?
Porque no lo sé!
Fue cuando el me dijo
"Yo no te odio niña, solo quiero salvarte mientras aún exista algo por salvar"
Fue cuando le dije:
"Yo te amo niño, pero no soy la respuesta a las preguntas que aún tienes"
Pero el día continuó como un peso aprisionador que ningún hombre podría soportar,
como recuerdos de días muertos que nos atormentan como huracanes.
Bañados en llamas sostuvimos el emblema,
separa los dedos de tus manos, presiona sobre la herida con la arena.
¿Ahora me comprendes?
Asique decime ahora...
¿Si no hay amor como saldremos de aquí?
Porque no lo sé!
Fue cuando el me dijo
"Yo no te odio niña, solo quiero salvarte mientras aún exista algo por salvar"
Fue cuando le dije:
"Yo te amo niño, pero no soy la respuesta a las preguntas que aún tienes"
A mil millas de distancia no queda nada que decir, pero hay tanto que yo no se.
Nunca tuvimos opción, este mundo es muy ruidoso, esto me apresiona, me apresiona una vez mas.
Siempre en estado de espera.
Y esta es la última foto de este estilo que subo, a partir de YA, subiré de otro estilo ¡¡tengo muchas ideas!! ^^

A Prayer To My Suffering God
O Savior of my life,
Will you meet me in my death?
O Deliverer of my hope,
Will you free me in my peril?
O Healer of my soul,
Will you cure all my disease?
When I cry, shedding tears
Do you taste my bitterness?
.....................
...............
When I give up, with shattered dreams
Do you pick up all the pieces?
.............
.......................
O Maker of heavens and earth,
May I call you my God?
Even if I never know your name,
Even if I've done some shameful things,
Even if I betrayed you and ran away once.
But will you forgive me for all my wrongs?
Will you help me when I reach toward you with my tiny hands?
Will you grant me peace even though we battled all our lives?
People say you set the rules,
But I know you truly love.
When others judge my covers,
You attend my heart and mind.
.........................
.............................
One day I'll die and depart,
But I truly believe
You will lift me up.
O God, our Savior, listen to our prayer.
Fill our hunger, heal our sickness,
Comfort our souls.
If you wish not to answer,
Then please wait for us,
Because we are about to shut our eyes.

Dear friends
This is not about me. I have received shocking news from a very dear and close to my heart friend and I felt compelled to upload this close-up of a geranium leaf Butterfly in response to this friend's cry. All my thoughts and prayers will include your friend, my dearest; God is not making any mistakes, it all happens here on earth. It's not God's fault that we have so much misery, it's all our doing, us, the human beings who are so often everything BUT human....
I shall be away for just a few days and look forward to read from you. When back, you will hear from me again.
Have a love filled, happy, weekend. Drink the beauty of what you have around you, not everybody can do that... (and now I'm stepping down from my shout box!)
Please consider also my other Geranium Loves! THANK YOU

Entry to Squeamish Gopher contest.
I realized the other day that I have not posted an updated pic of the Saviors. The last one I posted was for my first contest back in April of last year, and at that point, I only had 5 members on the team. Since then, 3 more recruits have been made and posted, but not on the Saviors team. So now, they are all together. L to R

DIA 11. SALVADORES. Represente a cada globo como si fueran esas personas, que a diario me ayudan a sentirme mejor, ya sea con una palabra o un abrazo, una sonrisa, hacen que cuando me caiga, me levante otra vez.
DAY 11. SAVIORS. Represent each balloon as if they were those people, who daily help me feel better, either with a word or a hug, a smile, make me fall when I get up again.
The Church of the Resurrection, also known as the "Savior on Spilled Blood", was built in memory of Alexander II who was assassinated in 1881. The church stands in the very place where a bomb was thrown into his carriage by a young man who opposed the Tsar's reforms.
The Cathedral is decorated with Italian limestone and various semiprecious stones like jasper, mountain crystal, topaz, and others. On the outside, there are twenty granite plates which tell the most important events of Alexander II's reign.
The highlight of both the interior and exterior of the Cathedral are its mosaic collection based on the paintings of Vasnetsov, Nesterol, and Vrubel. With a total area of 23130 square feet, it is one of the largest mosaic collections in Europe.

(Dallyn Vail Bayles)
Savior, Redeemer of my soul,
Whose mighty hand hath made me whole,
Whose wondrous pow'r hath raised me up
And filled with sweet my bitter cup!
What tongue my gratitude can tell,
O gracious God of Israel.
Never can I repay thee, Lord,
But I can love thee. Thy pure word,
Hath it not been my one delight,
My joy by day, my dream by night?
Then let my lips proclaim it still,
And all my life reflect thy will.
O'errule mine acts to serve thine ends.
Change frowning foes to smiling friends.
Chasten my soul till I shall be
In perfect harmony with thee.
Make me more worthy of thy love,
And fit me for the life above.
