The narrow nave of the Viterbo Cathedral. A central aisle is flanked by rows of wooden pews. Rows of columns on either side of the nave have elaborate capitals. A simple altar in an alcove is at the far end. The ceiling is exposed wood.

1/5 St Albans Cathedral

This week a set from a visit to #StAlbans #cathedral - a little north of London. The #romanesque arches you see here, and most of the church is 11th century Norman, but there are a lot of gothic and Victorian additions - and you can see the joins.

#ttartisan10mmf2 on #Olympus EM1iii. This a relatively new lens for me. I like it and it's excellent value. I like the sun stars which considering it was probably at f2.8 were a surprise.

Monk looking into the sunlight in the abbey church of Vézelay, France, 2015

Originally, the word resurrection was used in Christian contexts to refer to the rising of Christ from the dead or to the festival celebrating this rising (now known as Easter). The word eventually began to be used more generally in the senses of "resurgence" or "revival." Its Latin root, surgere, means "to rise." With the advent of written records, the earliest known recurrent theme of resurrection was in Egyptian and Canaanite religions, which had cults of dying-and-rising gods such as Osiris and Baal. Ancient Greek religion generally emphasised immortality, but in the mythos, a number of individuals were made physically immortal as they were resurrected from the dead. The death and resurrection of Jesus are a central focus of Christianity. While most Christians believe Jesus's resurrection from the dead and ascension to Heaven was in a material body, some think it was only spiritual.

It is often argued that the literal atoms after death are the same as before death. The question is: are they? We know they are not doing the same things or in quite the same configuration. That is an important difference. Life is not about substance, but about processes: activity. Life is about what the substance does. It is not something you are, it is something you do. In much the same way every single living human being is capable of being and most importantly, doing; we can all do good. If there is one thing, I have experienced meeting different people - black, white, Moslem, Christian, Jewish, Atheist etc - we can all do good and we can share ‘good’.

Crypt of the Cathedral of Saint-Cyr-and-Sainte-Julitte in Nevers, France, 2021

A crypt (from Latin crypta "vault") is a stone chamber beneath the floor of a church or other building. It typically contains coffins, sarcophagi or religious relics. First known in the early Christian period, in particular North Africa and Byzantium, churches were often built over a Mithraic temple, erected in classical antiquity by the worshippers of Mithras. Worshippers of Mithras had a complex system of seven grades of initiation and communal ritual meals. Initiates called themselves syndexioi, those "united by the handshake". They met in an underground temple, the so called Mithraeum. This Mithraeum was either a natural cave or cavern, or a building imitating a cave, that was adopted by the early christian builders to serve as a crypt for the newly build church above.

In antiquity the Mithraeum primarily functioned as an area for initiation, into which the soul descends and exits. The Mithraeum itself was arranged as an "image of the universe". It is noticed by some researchers that this practice, especially in the context of mithraic iconography, seems to stem from the neoplatonic concept that the "running" of the sun from solstice to solstice is a parallel for the movement of the soul through the universe, from pre-existence, into the body, and then beyond the physical body into an afterlife.

In the centre left you can see the medieval castle of Loarre (Huesca). In the background, on the right, you can see part of the plain of Hoya de Huesca. In the upper half you can see a sky that, despite being taken in the middle of the morning, seems almost more like sunset.

Altarnun Cornwall

A magnificent piece of Norman decorative work on this font, with bearded faces of real character at each corner and traces of original colour.

#Stonecarving #Cornwall #Norman #Romanesque #Fonts

A carving in stone of a long thin face with moustache and beard, a large nose and rather round ears. It is slightly at an angle, as if quizzical. The head supports the rim of a stone font.

Do you recognize this popular culture figure? No, it's not Leto II Atreides, God Emperor of Dune, but someone much more widely known… Santa Claus himself.

As the legend goes, Saint Nicholas was so pious, that even as a toddler he fasted every Wednesday and Friday, abstaining from mother's milk, and this is what the fresco depicts.

Novalesa Abbey in Italy, 11th century.
