In the desert a fountain is springing,
In the wide waste there still is a tree,
And a bird in the solitude singing,
Which speaks to my spirit of Thee.

The Church of the Transfiguration
The Transfiguration of Jesus is an event reported by the Synoptic Gospels in which Jesus is transfigured upon a mountain Jesus becomes radiant, speaks with Moses and Elijah, and is called "Son" by God. The transfiguration put Jesus above Moses and Elijah, the two preeminent figures of Judaism.
Thomas the Apostle, also known as Didymus was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus according to the New Testament. Thomas is commonly known as "Doubting Thomas" because he initially doubted the resurrection of Jesus Christ when he was told of it (as is related in the Gospel of John); he later confessed his faith ("My lord and my God") on seeing the places where the wounds appeared still fresh on the holy body of Jesus after the Crucifixion of Jesus. While it is often assumed he touched the wounds in art and poetry, the scriptures do not say that he touched the wounds, merely that Jesus invited him to do so, with it being unclear if he actually felt them.

Bartholomew the Apostle was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus according to the New Testament. Most scholars today identify Bartholomew as Nathanael, who appears in the Gospel of John.

Andrew the Apostle also called Saint Andrew, was an apostle of Jesus. According to the New Testament, he was a fisherman and one of the Twelve Apostles chosen by Jesus. The title First-Called stems from the Gospel of John, where Andrew, initially a disciple of John the Baptist, follows Jesus and, recognizing him as the Messiah, introduces his brother Simon Peter to him.
Andrew the Apostle was born to a Jewish family in Bethsaida, in Galilee, possibly between 5 and 10 AD. The New Testament states that Andrew was the brother of Simon Peter, and likewise a son of Jonah.

Matthew the Apostle (Saint Matthew) was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. According to Christian traditions, he was also one of the four Evangelists as author of the Gospel of Matthew, and thus is also known as Matthew the Evangelist.
Matthew is mentioned in Matthew 9:9 and Matthew 10:3 as a tax collector (in the New International Version and other translations of the Bible) who, while sitting at the "receipt of custom" in Capernaum, was called to follow Jesus. He is also listed among the Twelve Disciples, but without identification of his background, in Mark 3:18, Luke 6:15 and Acts 1:13.

Mark the Evangelist or Saint Mark, was the person who is traditionally ascribed to be the author of the Gospel of Mark.
According to Christian tradition, one of the four evangelists, the author of the Gospel of Mark. Mark the Evangelist is included among the seventy apostles and is identified with Mark-John, a disciple of the Apostle Peter; he is credited with the role of the founder of the Alexandrian church, which later became one of the most important episcopal sees.

Saint Peter also known as Peter the Apostle, Simon Peter, Simeon, Simon, or Cephas, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ and one of the first leaders of the early Christian Church. He appears repeatedly and prominently in all four New Testament gospels as well as the Acts of the Apostles. Catholic tradition treats Peter as the first bishop of Rome—or pope—and also as the first bishop of Antioch.
According to Christian tradition, Peter was crucified in Rome under Emperor Nero. The ancient Christian churches all venerate Peter as a major saint and the founder of the Church of Antioch and the Church of Rome,

Philip the Apostle was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus according to the New Testament. Later Christian traditions describe Philip as the apostle who preached in Greece, Syria, and Asia-Minor.
All three Synoptic Gospels and the Book of Acts list Philip as one of the apostles; he is always listed on the fifth place. The Gospel of John recounts Philip's calling as a disciple of Jesus. Philip is described as a disciple from the city of Bethsaida, and the evangelist connects him with Andrew and Peter, who were from the same town. He also was among those surrounding John the Baptist when the latter first pointed out Jesus as the Lamb of God. It was Philip who first introduced Nathanael (sometimes identified with Bartholomew) to Jesus. According to Butler, Philip was among those attending the wedding at Cana.

Фома
Варфоломій або Вартоломій (також Натанаїл, Bar-Tôlmay). Мабуть він був родичем або близьким другом апостола Філіппа, оскільки саме Філіпп привів Варфоломія до Ісуса, і в списках апостолів вони згадуються поруч.
Апостол Варфоломій — один з перших учнів Христа, покликаний четвертим услід за Андрієм, Петром та Філіпом. Варфоломій згаданий у списках апостолів в Євангелії від Матвія, від Марка, від Луки, а також в Діяннях Апостолів. Ім'я «Варфоломій» можливо є арамейським патронімічним ім'ям (за батьком) «bar talamai» — «син Талмая», де Талман — перекручене на арамейський лад грецького ім'я Птолемей.

Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River by John the Baptist
Справа от центральной композиции трёхфигурного Деисуса изображена сцена Преображение - одна из двенадцати сцен богородичного и христологического циклов, вписанных в золотую аркаду и расположенных по обе стороны от центральной композиции.
В нижней части сцены фигуры трёх поражённых чудом апостолов - Петр, Иаков и Иоанн, которые пришли на гору Фавор (позже называемую Горой Преображения ), чтобы помолиться.
Петр показан справа коленопреклоненным. В центре традиционно представлен Иоанн Богослов. Апостол Иаков изображен слева, отвернувшимся и как бы упавшим. Одной рукой он держится за камень.
На вершине горы Иисус начинает светиться яркими лучами света. Согласно Ветхому Завету рядом с ним появляются фигуры ветхозаветных пророков Ильи и Моисея.
В иконографических изображениях в руках Моисей обычно держит книгу или, в более поздних вариантах, скрижали Завета. В данном изображении Моисей стоит справа и держит в руке «скрижаль откровения». Он представляет умерших, тогда как Илья Пророк, вознесшийся на огненной колеснице, выступает от имени живых.
In the New Testament, the Transfiguration of Jesus is an event where Jesus is transfigured and becomes radiant in glory upon a mountain. The Synoptic Gospels (Matthew 17:1–8, Mark 9:2–8, Luke 9:28–36) describe it, and the Second Epistle of Peter also refers to it (2 Peter 1:16–18). It has also been hypothesized that the first chapter of the Gospel of John alludes to it (John 1:14).
In these accounts, Jesus and three of his apostles, Peter, James, and John, go to a mountain (later referred to as the Mount of Transfiguration) to pray. On the mountaintop, Jesus begins to shine with bright rays of light. Then the Old Testament figures Moses and Elijah appear next to him and he speaks with them. Both figures had eschatological roles: they summarize the Law and the prophets, respectively. Jesus is then called "Son" by a voice assumed to be God the Father, as in the Baptism of Jesus.
Many Christian traditions, including the Eastern Orthodox, Catholic Church, Lutheran and Anglican churches, commemorate the event in the Feast of the Transfiguration, a major festival. In Greek Orthodoxy, the event is called the metamorphosis.
Between the central nave and the crypt is a marble parapet by Anselmo da Campione (ca. 1150–1210) portraying the Passion of Christ, including the Last Supper.
The painted marble relief shows the kiss of Judas, also known as the Betrayal of Christ, the act with which Judas identified Jesus to the people, who had come to arrest him, according to the Synoptic Gospels.

On the altar wall of the northern naos, above the iconostasis.
The fresco of the plot “Prayer for the Cup” depicts the Savior praying to the Father in the deserted Garden of Gethsemane in a kneeling position. The face of Christ, exhausted by mental suffering, is half-lowered. Around the Savior are stones, several trees with their tops raised high, and stems of thorny plants. The walls of Jerusalem can be seen from the garden. All this is illuminated by the rising moon.
Artist Pavlo Oleksandrovich Svedomsky.
Note: a bright luminous cross is a cross on the iconostasis of the side northern nava.
The Prayer for the Cup (Gethsemane Prayer) is the prayer of Jesus Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, described in the Synoptic Gospels. From the point of view of Christian theologians, this is an expression of the fact that Jesus Christ had two wills - Divine and human.
Фреска сюжету «Моління про чашу» зображує Спасителя, який молиться Отцю в безлюдному Гефсиманському саду на колінах. Обличчя Христа, виснажене душевними стражданнями, напівопущене. Навколо Спасителя — каміння, кілька дерев із високо піднятими верхівками та стебла колючих рослин. Із саду видно стіни Єрусалиму. Усе це освітлює зростаючий місяць.
Художник Павло Олександрович Свідомський.
Примітка: хрест, який яскраво світиться, не має відношення до фрески – це хрест на іконостасі бічної північної нави. Фреска на вівтарній стіні північного наосу над іконостасом.
"Моління про чашу" - один з найдраматичніших євангельських сюжетів. Ісус, знаючи свою долю, молиться Богу-Отцю, щоб обминула його "чаша ця".
Молитва про чашу (гефсиманське моління) - молитва Ісуса Христа в Гефсиманському саду, описана в синоптичних Євангеліях. З погляду християнських богословів є виразом того, що Ісус Христос мав дві волі – Божественну та людську.
Матвій і Марк розповідають про триразову молитву Ісуса:
Перший раз Він молився про відразу від Нього чаші страждань.
Євангеліє від Матвія: «І, відійшовши трохи, молився і говорив:
Отче Мій! якщо можливо, нехай мине Мене чаша ця; втім, не як Я хочу, але як Ти.»
Вдруге виявляє вже пряму покірність Божій волі (у Луки йому був посланий ангел, щоб зміцнити Його в цій волі) і вигукує:
«Отче Мій! якщо не може чаша ця обминути Мене, щоб Мені не пити її, нехай буде воля Твоя.»
Третій раз він повторює своє друге моління і повертається до учнів сказати про наближення зрадника: «Ось, віддається Син Людський до рук грішників. Устаньте, ходімо; ось наблизився той, хто зраджує Мене».

Alder Brook is barely a brook, really more of a run from the outlet of Crane Pond down to Alder Pond. It’s me who named it, for lack of a name of the line on a map, and Alder Brook has a nicer ring to it than Crane Brook. I think nearly everyone anticipates the hikes at the end of the badly potholed forest road above me, and bypass the little cathedral down here in a forest-for-the-trees fashion. Which is ok with me. Alternate drops and pools define the corridor, lined with big broken slabs and boulders from some glacial retreat we are not privy to, an obstacle course of stone and moss. In this stretch a couple of impromptu spans connect the banks, but I don’t need to tightrope across to photograph my abridged version of Alder Brook. That’s kind of what photography is—choose a condensed version of the 360 your senses are taking in at the time, which you hope you can recreate in a representative sense later. It is how the memory works too. Our experiences are not recalled in laborious detail, but rather in a compressed synoptic form that gives each of us a unique picture of events. Perhaps it works for the photographer, but these memories fall short in real life when we wish to remember every word, every touch, every feeling of our past. We relive those moments in flashes, much shorter and less satifying than the glow of the moments themselves. I wish I could recall in minute detail all the intimacies, the looks, all the words that my heart swore to me I would never forget, but didn’t tell me would be in abbreviated form. Time is not repeated in full.
To the cracks of faces, gnawed by the black and its light, nothing alters the sumptuous damage. Nothing ever alters the whiteness of their innocent looks, and the wind that makes this madness, the movement. Rocks born with the World, already dust.
From nothingness, those who do not look, but who hold with their fingers what is not to be understood, rush forward.

Owens Valley Radio Observatory, Big Pine, CA. I’ve photographed this location a few times. I’m always fascinated by these telescopes, their size and array arrangements.
The temptation of Christ in Christianity, refers to the temptation of Jesus by the devil as detailed in each of the Synoptic Gospels, at Matthew 4:1-11, Mark 1:12-13, and Luke 4:1-13. Christian translations often use the term Satan to describe Jesus' adversary in this narrative. The Bible actually says diabolos (Greek for slanderer) in the Gospels of Matthew and of Luke, though it does say Satan in the Gospel of Mark.
According to these texts, after being baptised, Jesus fasted for forty days and nights in the desert. During this time, the devil appeared to Jesus and tempted him to demonstrate his supernatural powers as proof of his divinity, each temptation being refused by Jesus with a quote of scripture from the Book of Deuteronomy. The Gospels state that having failed, the devil departed and angels came and brought nourishment to Jesus.

In meteorology, a cloud is a visible mass of liquid droplets or frozen crystals made of water or various chemicals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body. These suspended particles are also known as aerosols and are studied in the cloud physics branch of meteorology.
Terrestrial cloud formation is the result of air in Earth's atmosphere becoming saturated due to either or both of two processes; cooling of the air and adding water vapor. With sufficient saturation, precipitation will fall to the surface; an exception is virga, which evaporates before reaching the surface.
Clouds in the troposphere, the atmospheric layer closest to Earth's surface, have Latin names due to the universal adaptation of Luke Howard's nomenclature. It was introduced in December 1802 and became the basis of a modern international system that classifies these tropospheric aerosols into several physical forms or categories, then cross-classifies them into families of low, middle and high according to cloud-base altitude range above Earth's surface. Clouds with significant vertical extent are often considered a separate family. One physical form shows free-convective upward growth into low or vertical heaps of cumulus. Other forms appear as non-convective layered sheets like low stratus, and as limited-convective rolls or ripples as with stratocumulus. Both of these layered forms have middle- and high-family variants identified respectively by the prefixes alto- and cirro-. Thin fibrous wisps of cirrus are a physical form found only at high altitudes. In the case of clouds with vertical extent, prefixes are used whenever necessary to express variations or complexities in their physical structures. These include cumulo- for complex highly convective vertical nimbus storm clouds, and nimbo- for thick stratiform layers with sufficient vertical depth to produce moderate to heavy precipitation. This process of cross-classification produces ten basic genus-types or genera, most of which can be subdivided into species and varieties. Synoptic surface weather observations use code numbers to record and report any type of tropospheric cloud visible at scheduled observation times based on its height and physical appearance.
While a majority of clouds form in Earth's troposphere, there are occasions when they can be observed at much higher altitudes in the stratosphere and mesosphere. Clouds that form above the troposphere have common names for their main types, but are sub-classified alpha-numerically rather than with the elaborate system of Latin names given to cloud types in the troposphere. These three main atmospheric layers that can produce clouds, along with the lowest part of the cloudless thermosphere, are collectively known as the homosphere. Above this lies the heterosphere (which includes the rest of the thermosphere and the exosphere) that marks the transition to outer space. Clouds have been observed on other planets and moons within the Solar System, but, due to their different temperature characteristics, they are composed of other substances such as methane, ammonia, and sulfuric acid.

Taken from the observation deck of the Mayall 4-meter telescope with a Nikon D800 and a Sigma 14mm lens.
This shows a strong sun spot activity. Region 3615 with the most spots, but also strong ones on 3614 and 3619; those in 3617 and 3620 more faint, and in 3621 barely visible here. (Compare with the NASA image)
Taken with the Nikkor 80-400 and a Thousand Oaks Optical solar filter, enhanced with unsharp mask in Gimp, and freaky details in G'MIC. Cropped.
This time I focused manually in magnified Live View. The hard part is to get the image stable to check the focus (at this magnification my tripod is not enough...). Looks like this will have to work on April 8!
Thought I saw sunspots in this shot, and NASA can confirm!

SIGMA MACRO 70mm F2.8 EX DG for Nikon AF Mount
I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

The Transfiguration of Jesus is an event reported by the Synoptic Gospels in which Jesus is transfigured upon a mountain. Jesus becomes radiant, speaks with Moses and Elijah, and is called "Son" by God. The transfiguration put Jesus above Moses and Elijah, the two preeminent figures of Judaism.
Several mountains have been identified as the site of the Transfiguration. Bishop Cyril of Jerusalem wrote in the year 348 that he preferred Mount Tabor to Mount Hermon. Mount Tabor is closer to the center of Jesus's activities and therefore was accepted as the site of the transfiguration of Christ.
Yet I well remember
The favors of these men. Were they not mine?
Did they not sometimes cry "All hail!" to me?
So Judas did to Christ; but He, in twelve,
Found truth in all but one; I, in twelve thousand, none.
Words by Shakespeare

The letters INRI form the initial letters of the Latin inscription on the cross of Jesus according to John 19:19: Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum (Jesus of Nazareth (or: "the Nazarene"), king of the Jews). On many images of the crucifixion and on crucifixes this text is found above the head of the crucified Christ.
John mentions that Pontius Pilate had the text written, the Synoptic Gospels do not mention who the author or commissioner was. The high priests protested and asked for the text to be changed to, "This man claimed, I am the king of the Jews," but Pilate replied, according to John, "What I have written, that I have written," to indicate that the decision once taken would not be revoked.

Joseph is a figure in the Gospels, the husband of Mary, mother of Jesus, and is venerated as Saint Joseph in the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodox Church, Anglican Communion, Lutheranism and Methodism. Christian tradition places Joseph as Jesus' foster father. Some historians state that Joseph was Jesus's father. Some differing views are due to theological interpretations versus historical views. In both Roman Catholic and Protestant traditions, Joseph is regarded as the patron saint of workers and is associated with various feast days. Pope Pius XI declared him to be both the patron and the protector of the Roman Catholic Church, in addition to his patronages of the sick and of a happy death, due to the belief that he died in the presence of Jesus and Mary. In popular piety, Joseph is regarded as a model for fathers and has also become patron of various dioceses and places. Several notable images of Saint Joseph have been granted a Canonical coronation by a Pope. In popular religious iconography he is associated with Lilies or a Spikenard. With the present-day growth of Mariology, the theological field of Josephology has also grown and since the 1950s centers for studying it have been formed. The Pauline epistles make no reference to Jesus's father; nor does the Gospel of Mark. The first appearance of Joseph is in the gospels of Matthew and Luke. Each contains a genealogy of Jesus showing ancestry from king David, but through different sons; Matthew follows the major royal line from Solomon, while Luke traces another line back to Nathan, another son of David and Bathsheba. Consequently, all the names between David and Joseph are different. Some scholars, such as Harry A. Ironside reconcile the genealogies by viewing the Solomonic lineage in Matthew as Joseph's major royal line, and the Nathanic lineage in Luke to be Mary's minor line. The epistles of Paul are generally regarded as the oldest extant Christian writings. These mention Jesus's mother (without naming her), but do not refer to his father. The Book of Mark, the first gospel to be written, with a date about two decades after Paul, also does not mention Jesus's father. Joseph first appears in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, both dating from around 80-90 AD. The issue of reconciling the two accounts has been the subject of debate. Like the two differing genealogies, the infancy narratives appear only in Matthew and Luke and take different approaches to reconciling the requirement that the Messiah be born in Bethlehem with the tradition that Jesus in fact came from Nazareth. In Matthew, Joseph obeys the direction of an angel to marry Mary. Following the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, Joseph and family stay in Bethlehem for an unspecified period (perhaps two years) until after the visit of the Three Magi, when Joseph is told by an angel in a dream to take the family to Egypt to escape the massacre of the children of Bethlehem planned by Herod, the ruler of the Roman province of Judea. Once Herod has died, an angel tells Joseph to return, but to avoid Herod's son he takes his wife and the child to Nazareth in Galilee and settles there. Thus in Matthew, the infant Jesus, like Moses, is in peril from a cruel king, like Moses he has a (fore)father named Joseph who goes down to Egypt, like the Old Testament Joseph this Joseph has a father named Jacob, and both Josephs receive important dreams foretelling their future. In Luke, Joseph already lives in Nazareth, and Jesus is born in Bethlehem because Joseph and Mary have to travel there to be counted in a census. Subsequently, Jesus was born there. Luke's account makes no mention of angels and dreams, the Massacre of the Innocents, or of a visit to Egypt.
The last time Joseph appears in person in any Gospel is in the story of the Passover visit to the Temple in Jerusalem when Jesus is 12 years old, found only in Luke. No mention is made of him thereafter. The story emphasises Jesus's awareness of his coming mission: here Jesus speaks to his parents (both of them) of "my father," meaning God, but they fail to understand.(Luke 2:41-51). Christian tradition represents Mary as a widow during the adult ministry of her son. Joseph is not mentioned as being present at the Wedding at Cana at the beginning of Jesus's mission, nor at the Passion at the end. If he had been present at the Crucifixion, he would under Jewish custom have been expected to take charge of Jesus's body, but this role is instead performed by Joseph of Arimathea. Nor would Jesus have entrusted his mother to the care of John the Apostle if her husband had been alive. While none of the Gospels mentions Joseph as present at any event during Jesus's adult ministry, the synoptic Gospels share a scene in which the people of Nazareth, Jesus's hometown, doubt Jesus's status as a prophet because they know his family. In Mark 6:3, they call Jesus "Mary's son" instead of naming his father. In Matthew, the townspeople call Jesus "the carpenter's son," again without naming his father. (Matthew 13:53-55) In Luke 3:23 "And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was of Heli."(Luke 4:16-30) In Luke the tone is positive, whereas in Mark and Matthew it is disparaging. This incident does not appear at all in John, but in a parallel story the disbelieving neighbors refer to "Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know" (John 6:41-51).

Chapel of the Apparition of Jesus to his Mother, commemorates the ancient tradition that Jesus appeared to his mother after his Resurrection.
On the right inside the entrance of the chapel is a section of a column, said to be the one to which Jesus was tied when he was scourged.
According to the Synoptic Gospels, the women were the first witnesses to the announcement when, having gone to the tomb to anoint the body of their Master, they discovered the stone rolled away from the tomb and an angel in dazzling garments who told them: “He is not here, He is risen”.
As John the Evangelist tells us, Mary Magdalene was the first to encounter the risen Jesus who had not yet ascended to the Father, and he entrusted to her the task of announcing the Resurrection.
This book falls into two parts: a mediation on aristocracy and its history in Ireland, and a brief account of twenty recognized Chiefs of the Name. Three, The O'Brien, The O'Conor Don and The O'Neill, have legitimate claims to Ireland's High Kingship; all are descendants of territorial kings and sub-kings. Vanishing Kingdoms is organized into four geographical groupings by province with the chiefs arranged alphabetically and their territorial links, histories and personalities explored as clans form widening connections. The stories of these individual families, conveyed through interviews with existing chiefs and fellow historians, give a synoptic view of the past through an unfolding historical documentary. The text is supplemented by a rich iconography of specially commissioned portraits of the present-day chiefs combined with historical paintings and photographs of houses and forebears, maps, engravings and coats-of-arms. This compendium volume will prove a popular introduction to a subject of increasing fascination in a democratized, socially fluid Ireland of the twenty-first century.

Hi!
Hello...
...programs rustling...
We will sing for you now!/We will sing for you now!
Okay!
Yes, please.
What is this??
The program says, "The Do It Duet"
As uninformative as usual. We need to complain to management about the program guides.
🎵There's nothing to it, to do a duet,
When you do it together.
For when we do it by pure intuit,
We're like two birds of a feather.🎶
🎵We're never random, right in tandem,
A precisely symmetrical pair.
The thoughts we think, in perfect sync,
give beautiful lyrical flare🎶
🎵Dispute immunity in our unity,
Synoptic lens and focused pens,
Goodbye discord, hello one accord,
We are the Bonbon twins!🎶
applause
Okay, that was pretty. Lovely harmony.
And they're cute.
No one thought... ?
A little scary? Yeah...
