Valencia Cathedral and the Holy Grail
2008-05-30 20:05:00 Within the old city walls of Valencia alone, there are dozens of old churches all stunning in their own right. At the center of all these churches in the Catedral Basilica Metropolitana de Santa Maria or the Valencia Cathedral. Founded in the 13th century, it incorporates several architectural styles (its exterior is mostly Gothic but the main entrance is lavishly Baroque), and houses a large number of artistic and religious treasures.One of those treasures is said to be the Holy Grail which has a long history. Legend has it that St. Peter transferred the grail to Rome in the first century. It was then brought by St. Lawrence to Huesca, Spain together with Pope Sixtus II in the 3rd century when they escaped the persecution of Emperor Valerian. The cup was hidden in various places during the Muslim invasion that started in 712 A.D., finally finding itself in the monastery of San Juan de la Pea. It was given to King Martin of Aragon who kept it in the royal palace in Saragossa, and l...

Dome, Cathedral, Salzburg
2008-05-26 07:57:00 The Salzburg Cathedral (Salzburger Dom) is a 17th century baroque cathedral in the city of Salzburg, dedicated to Saint Rupert of Salzburg. It is the site of Mozart’s baptism. The site occupied by the Salzburg Cathedral was probably a sacred place for sacrifices in Celtic as well as Roman times. The first cathedral was built under Saint Vergilius of Salzburg, who might have used foundations by St. Rupert. The first Dom was recorded in 774. The so-called Virgil Dom was built from 767 to 774 and was 66 metres long and 33 metres wide. Archbishop Arno (785 – 821) was the first to arrange renovations of the Dom, which was in place for less than 70 years. In 842, the building burned down after being struck by lightning. Three years later, the re-erection of the building started. Under Archbishop Hartwig, a choir with a crypt was built towards West between 1000 and 1020. Under Archbishop Konrad I., the West-towers were built from 1106 to 1147. Salzburg is good for vacations or fami...

2008-04-01 04:48:00 The 85th and final year of the fabled Yankee Stadium - "The House that Ruth Built" - was scheduled to start this afternoon, but due to rain the Yankees' home opener was canceled.

Berliner Dom, Berlin Cathedral
2008-03-25 07:28:00 The Berliner Dom or Berlin Cathedral is a Lutheran cathedral in Berlin, Germany. It is located on Museum Island in the Mitte district, and was built between 1895 and 1905. It faces the Lustgarten and the Berliner Stadtschloss (Berlin City Palace). Later the church of the Dominican Order (Schwarze Brüder), located at the south side of the castle, was used as the first cathedral. The first church at this site was a baroque cathedral by Johann Boumann, which was completed in 1747 and, in 1822, remodelled in the neoclassicist style by the Berlin architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel. In 1894, on German Emperor Wilhelm II’s order, this domed building was demolished and replaced by the current cathedral designed by Julius Raschdorff. At 114 m long, 73 m wide and 116 m tall, it was much larger than any of the previous buildings and was considered a Protestant counterweight to St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. Berlin is one of best cultural cities in Europe. You have a lot of c...
St Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin
2008-03-24 09:21:00 Saint Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin, formally known as The National Cathedral and Collegiate Church of Saint Patrick, Dublin or in the Irish language as Árd Eaglais Naomh Pádraig, founded in 1191, is the larger of Dublin’s two Church of Ireland cathedrals, and the largest church in Ireland. Unusually it is not today the seat of a bishop, as Dublin’s Church of Ireland Archbishop has his seat in Christ Church Cathedral, with Saint Patrick’s being (since 1870) the National Cathedral for the whole island, drawing chapter members from each of the twelve dioceses of the Church of Ireland. Saint Patrick’s is headed by a Dean, an office which has existed since 1219, the most famous holder being Jonathan Swift. Plan your summer holidays in Ireland. Nice and fun tourist location, one of best travel cities. Tourist GPS spot: 53° 20′ 22″ N, 6° 16′ 17″ W

Welcome to the phenomenon that is BMW World. 'Die Welt ist alles', according to Wittgenstein. In saying the world is everything, the philosopher affirmed the significance of life in the face of the nullity of death. 'Is a little bit crazy, no, like a hurricane?' is what they say of BMW Welt. Here in BMW's World is its own affirmation of life. They used to say BMW stood for 'Baader Meinhof Wagen', the favoured wheels of last year's model terrorists. Now BMW represents the apogee of consumer desire.

'Murder in the Cathedral' - An overview
2008-01-31 16:35:00 ‘Murder in the Cathedral’ was written for the Canterbury festival in 1935. The play follows the event in Canterbury after Becket’s return in 1170. A chorus of women laments the absence of their archbishop and the people’s helplessness. In the schism between the Church and the State, it is announced that Becket is returning, the news is welcome but all, save the second priest, are fearful of King Henry II’s reconciliation with Becket and wonder if it is to be trusted. Becket enters determined to resolve the crisis, though he knows that it may cost him his life. In the long scene, in the play, the Four Tempters illustrate the conflict. His decision provokes within himself, the temptation to seek martyrdom is powerful. Becket realizes that the only course he has to follow is to offer his life to the law of God above the law of man. The Christmas morning sermon of 1170 makes the position clear. Four days later, four knights of the King arrived and charged him with rebellion, h...

New Mosaics in Westminster Cathedral
2008-01-25 23:13:00 What the chapel in Westminster Cathedral will look like when finished In The word made mosaic, Apollo Magazine has a feature on the artist Tom Phillips who has been commissioned to prepare a series of designs for new mosaics for a chapel in Westminster Cathedral, London.Phillips works from his house in Peckham, South London."Six years ago he presented a ?Summary Treatise on the Nature of Ornament? to the Architecture Forum at the Royal Academy, a critique of modern Western practices that gives a nod to Sir Joshua Reynolds?s Discourses on Art. Like so much that he does, it is an assimilated work, fusing academic theory and personal concerns, part generated, perhaps, by the Westminster commissions.It provides a vehicle with which to castigate the demotion of the term ?craft?, and assert the spiritual significance of calligraphic ornament, ?where form embodies truth directly?. These concerns inform his mosaic designs.Designing for the chapel cannot have been easy because this little sp...

Seville Cathedral
2008-01-10 17:01:00 The Cathedral of Seville, (Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See) was begun in 1402, with construction continuing into the 16th century. It is the largest of all Roman Catholic cathedrals and also the largest Medieval Gothic religious building, in terms of both area and volume. It is 76 by 115 meters, and was built to cover the land previously occupied by the Almohad Mosque. Its central nave rises to an awesome 42 metres and even the side chapels seem tall enough to contain an ordinary church. Its main altarpiece is considered the largest in the Christian world. The interior, with the longest nave in Spain, is lavishly decorated, with a large quantity of gold evident. In the main body of the cathedral only the great box like structure of the coro stands out, filling the central portion of the nave. This opens onto the Capilla Mayor, dominated by a vast Gothic retablo of 45 carved scenes from the life of Christ. The lifetime’s work of a single craftsman, Pierre Dancart, this is th...

The Cathedral, Granada, Nicaragua
2007-11-25 21:59:00 The Cathedral is one of the most spectacular buildings in Granada. It dominates Central Park and has a view of Lake Nicaragua to boot.The original building was destroyed by fire in 1856. I can only imagine what inferno would be responsible to wiping out a whole building of this size. Must have been pretty impressive. Get out the weinies and marshmellows.She was rebuilt in 1880, renovated again in 1905, and when I walked by a couple days ago she was getting a new coat of paint outside. I like new clothes, too. Makes you feel dressed up and special. Just in time for Christmas.I walked around inside of The Cathedral and peeked behind the altar. Found something that makes the rumour of the tunnel connecting the cathedrals of Granada even more solid. There is a gated and locked staircase leading underground to who knows where. No one is talking about what is down there, either. I was told not even to ask the priests for access to this area.The mystery thickens!
