St Saviour , Ellerby Road, Leeds :: Shared Description
St Saviour's Church, is thought to be the first Anglo Catholic church built outside London in 1845. Built with an anonymous gift of £10,000 later discovered to be from E.B. Pusey the Regius Professor of Hebrew for Oxford University.
The church was designed by Irish architect John Macduff Derick who under instruction from Pusey included the inscription 'Ye who enters this holy place pray for the sinner that built it'. Pusey encouraged High Anglican worship, a section of the Anglican Church who followed the Catholic traditions of confession and confirmation. It was for this reason that the building of the church and clergy house were held up, by the Bishop of Ripon who objected to the strong Catholic architecture traditions followed in the design.
Finally completed, the 550 capacity church was consecrated by the Bishop of Ripon, 28th October 1845. St Saviour's was a poor parish whose locals suffered many socio-economic problems which the clergy attempted to alleviate.
In 1849 during a virulent cholera outbreak they went to the parishioners to give medical care and support, also besieging the council with demands for assistance and improvements in living conditions. The vicarage garden is a consecrated area containing graves and possibly a cholera pit from the 1849 epidemic.
The tower is a later addition from 1937 when the original wooden spire was destroyed during a gale. Sam Smith OBE, founder and managing director of Ringtons Tea Merchants gave an anonymous monetary gift for the construction.
St. Saviour's is the sister church of St. Bartholomew's.
It is rumoured to have more stained glass than any other church in Yorkshire.

"It was on Holy Saturday in 1880 when the Vorya River flooded and people from nearby villages had no opportunity to cross the river and attend the Easter service in the church, they directed their steps to the estate because they knew that the matins would be held there. The Abramtsevo manor house was full of worshippers and Savva Mamontov got the idea to correct the situation and to build a separate chapel... But the idea did not come true, – recalled Natalya Polenova, the participant of the Abramtsevo Colony. – In 1881 the spring was wonderful, the matins were organized in the Manor House and then the idea was brought up again. But everybody decided that a chapel would be too small and that it would be better to build a church. We chose the appropriate place in the park and were determined to build a church in the name of the Icon of Christ of Edessa, on the model of Old Russian cathedrals".
The basic project for the church was worked out by Vasily Polenov and the prototype for it became the Church of the Saviour at Nereditsa (12th century) located near Novgorod. This project outlined the main proportions and forms of the future building. The dome reposed on the massive drum crowing the high pyramidal roof. The portal of the main façade with the Icon of Christ of Edessa had the look of a belfry. Three apses were at the eastern sanctuary part. For the northern façade the artist designed two windows: the triple one and the small semi-oval window. The walls were strengthened with buttresses. The main difficulty was the southern façade. Well observed through the alley of the park it was as important as the western one. Vasily Polenov left the project unfinished.
Viktor Vasnetsov continued the work at the project. "I was keen on the Kremlin and Moscow churches, later on the Yaroslavl and Rostov ones", – he wrote in his letter to Vladimir Stasov. The artist changed the proportions, made the walls higher and the roof lower. The two windows of the northern façade were shifted to the southern one thus making it impressive and letting more light into the church. The Vasnetsov's church became proportional and harmonious, it better corresponded to its purpose – to be a small estate church, nestled in the Abramtsevo park.
In 1881 Viktor Vasnetsov wrote about the beginning of the construction: "All of us, the artists – Vasily Polenov, Ilya Repin, me – Savva Mamontov and his family set to work together being inspired. Our art assistants – Yelizaveta Mamontova... Yelena Polenova, Natalya Polenova (she was Yakunchikova then), Vera Repina – kept up with us. We were drawing facades and ornaments, painting icons and our ladies were embroidering gonfalons, veils and cloths, they were even carving ornaments in stone standing on the scaffold like real stonemasons. Savva Mamontov was working as a sculptor... There was so much energy and art creativity: everybody was working tirelessly, competing and with interest..."
By the end of July the church was roofed. Decorative work and interior required the detailed studying of the medieval Russian art and participants of the Colony took trips to Rostov, Yaroslavl and other towns. In summer the church was adorned with stone carved ornaments. The ornament of the portal roller had images connected with Christian symbols and Gospel themes: the Lamb personified Christ; the head of a donkey reminded the Christ's entry into Jerusalem; the cock – the denial of the Apostle Peter; the angel, lion, eagle and calf symbolized evangelists and the like. The frieze of coloured tiles made the massive drum more elegant. Later the Icon of Christ of Edessa painted by Vasily Polenov was placed above the portal (1882) and the chimney was covered with tiles (1890s).
The leading role in the interior design was given to Vasily Polenov. His sketches were used to make the iconostasis, icon cases, candleholders, the altarpiece cross, the church chandelier, wedding crowns, gonfalons and other church utensils. The double-level iconostasis dates back to the interiors of the rural churches in the Russian North. Icons of traditional painting collected by the Abramtsevo Colony participants are combined with the authors' icons: "Christ of Edessa" by Ilya Repin (1881–1882), "St. Nicholas" by Nikolay Nevrev (1881), "St. Sergius of Radonezh" and "Virgin and Child" (1881) by Viktor Vasnetsov (1882), "Annunciation" by Vasily Polenov (1882) and other works of the Abramtsevo artists. It was the first time when the icons of the Orthodox Church were painted in realistic manner, anticipating the work of Viktor Vasnetsov in the St. Vladimir's Cathedral of Kiev. The relief "The Head of John the Baptist" on the northern wall was made by Mark Antokolsky (1880s), the icon on the southern wall "St. Prince Fyodor with his Sons Konstantin and David" was painted by Yelena Polenova (1890s). Viktor Vasnetsov painted flowers and butterflies on the choirs. He was also the author of the mosaic floor with a stylized flower and the dates of the construction: 1881–1882 written in Slavonic letters. In 1892 Mikhail Vrubel designed the stove.
Preparation of documents took all summer in 1881. In autumn, when the church was already built, the official laying was held, and the next summer the church was consecrated in the name of the Icon of Christ of Edessa.

And now the weak say I have strength
By the spirit of power that raised Christ from the dead
And now the poor stand and confess
That my portion is Him and I'm more than blessed
Let now our hearts burn with a flame
A fire consuming all for your Son's holy name
And with the heavens we declare
You are our king
We love you Lord, we worship you
You are our God, you alone are good
You asked your Son to carry this
The heavy cross our weight of sin
I love you Lord, I worship you
Hope which was lost, now stands renewed
I give my life to honor this
The love of Christ, the savior king
Let now your church shine as the bride
That you soar in your heart as you offered up your life
Let now the lost be welcomed home
By the saved and redeemed those adopted as your own
I give my life to honor this
The love of Christ, the savior king
Haghpat monastery complex was founded in the X century.
"The monastery has a complex plan. It consists of several buildings, some of which are connected by covered galleries like this one, called "The Savior's Passage", which connects the library depository and the St. N'shan church. It was also used as the monastery academy."
The gallery extends around the east end of the church and opens into the courtyard with a view to the mountains and village in the distance.

The fishermen of the high tides sails for weeks or sometimes even for months during the fishing season. The boatman in this picture is one hero I've seen who managed to swim underneath the boat to get it out of the hidden sand under the riverbed as the whole barge was stuck for almost a day.
Nijhum Dwip is a recently discovered island 2 kilometers southwest of Hatia under Noakhali district. Isolated from the Hatia channel,some identify the island as a cluster of 4 or 5 smaller islands. It was initially discovered by fishermen who noticed a small piece of floating land located at the southern part of the sea. Over the years, the island accumulated land-mass and was soon large enough for recognition.
It was not settled until 1970, until then only seaonally.Because of riverbank erosion in nearby areas, especially Hatiya, Shahbajpur and Ramgati people migrated to the island as new settlers. Subsequently, a substantial aforestation drive was undertaken by the forestry department of Bangladesh. The island soon became a recognised eco-tourist spot because of the perennial mangrove forests and wild life including animals such as spotted deer, wild boar and rhesus macaque. The island is also home to nearly 100 species of migratory birds, around a dozen of which are considered to be critically endangered.
In 2001, a significant portion of the island was designated as Nijhum Dwip National Park under the jurisdiction of Noakhali district in Bangladesh. The population in Nijhum Dwip in 2001 was 10,670. Their main occupations are cultivation, fishing and livestock farming. But the island suffers from natural calamities, and life is hard and risky.
