Excerpt: St Albans Cathedral (formerly St Albans Abbey, officially The Cathedral and Abbey Church of St Alban) is a Church of England Cathedral church at St Albans, England. At 84 metres (276 ft), its nave is the longest of any cathedral in England. With much of its present architecture dating from Norman times, it became a cathedral in 1877, and is the second longest cathedral in the United Kingdom. Local residents often call it “the Abbey”, although the present cathedral represents only the church of the old Benedictine abbey. The abbey church, although legally a cathedral church, differs in certain particulars from most of the other cathedrals in England: it is also used as a parish church, of which the Dean is rector. He has the same powers, responsibilities, and duties as the rector of any other parish. Alban was a pagan living in the Roman city of Verulamium, where St Albans is now, in Hertfordshire, England, about 22 miles (35 km) north of London along Watling Street. Before Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire, local Christians were being persecuted by the Romans. Alban sheltered their priest, Saint Amphibalus, in his home and was converted to the Christian faith by him. When the soldiers came to Alban’s house looking for the priest, Alban exchanged cloaks with the priest and let himself be arrested in his stead. Alban was taken before the magistrate, where he avowed his new Christian faith and was condemned for it. He was beheaded, according to legend, on the spot where the cathedral named for him now stands. The site is on …More:

Excerpt: The 150s decade ran from January 1, 150, to December 31, 159.Events and trends Significant people A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at The First Apology was an early work of Christian apologetics addressed by Justin Martyr to the Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius . It is dated to the period 150-155.Purpose for writing The purpose of the Apology is to prove to the emperors, renowned as upright and philosophical men, the importance of Christianity. Chapters i.-xii. give the preliminary negative proof; chap. xiii. begins a positive exposition of Christianity: that Christians are the true worshipers of God, the Creator of all things; they offer him the only sacrifices worthy of him, those of prayer and thanksgiving, and are taught by his Son, to whom they assign a place next in honor to him; this teaching leads them to perfect morality, as shown in their teacher’s words and their own lives, and founded on their belief in the resurrection.Dating of the text The Dialogue is a later work than the First Apology ; the date of composition of the latter, from the fact that it was addressed to Antoninus Pius , Marcus Aurelius , and Lucius Verus , must fall between 147 and 161. The reference to Felix as governor of Egypt, since this can only be the Lucius Munatius Felix whom the Oxyrhynchus papyri name as prefect September 13, 151, fixes the date still more exactly. The Chronicon of Eusebius gives 152-153 as the date of the attacks of Crescens . What is designated as the Second Apology was written as a supplement to the first, on account of certain proceedings which had in the mean time taken place in Rome before Lollius Urbicus as prefect of the city, which must have been between 150 and 157.Doctrine of the Logos The doctrine of the Logos begotten of flesh is specially emphasized.

Excerpt: Saint Elijah’s Monastery, Mosul, Iraq Dair Mar Elia (known in English as Saint Elijah’s Monastery ) is an abandoned Assyrian Christian monastery , the oldest in Iraq , dating from the 6th century. It is located south of Mosul .History The monastery was founded around 595 AD by Mar Elia, an Assyrian Christian monk who had previously studied at al-Hirah and later in the great monastery at Ezla Mountain in Turkey . It was later claimed by the Chaldeans. The monastery was the center of the regional Christian community, and for centuries thousands of Christians would visit the monastery to observe the Mar Elia Holiday, which falls on the last Wednesday of November. The monastery was renovated in the 17th century by Hurmizd Alqushnaya. In 1743, the Persian leader Tahmaz Nadir Shah ordered the destruction of its property and the death of the monks who dwelled there. The monastery laid in ruins until the beginning of 20th century, when some restoration was completed on a few halls and rooms. The structure, along with its neighboring reservoir and natural mineral water springs, were cared for by the Chaldean Church, and Christian pilgrims continued to visit the ruins. 2003 war Following World War II , Iraq’s army placed its headquarters and a tank battalion in the monastery. The military post remained in place into the 21st century. During the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the monastery was the site of combat. An Iraqi armor unit used the monastery as a command post, they defaced all the rooms with graffiti, and clogged the historical

Excerpt: The Book of Dimma (Dublin, Trinity College, MS.A.IV.23) is an 8th-century Irish pocket Gospel Book originally from the Abbey of Roscrea, founded by St. Cronan in the County Tipperary , Ireland . In addition to the four Gospels, in between the Gospels of Luke and John , it has an order for the Unction and Communion of the Sick. It was signed by its scribe, Dimma MacNathi, at the end of each of the Gospels. This Dimma has been traditionally identified with the Dimma, who was later Bishop of Connor, mentioned by Pope John IV in a letter on Pelagianism in 640. This identification, however, cannot be sustained. The illumination of the manuscript is limited to illuminated initials, three Evangelist portrait pages and one page with an Evangelist’s symbol. In the 12th century the manuscript was encased in a richly gilt case.A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at The Codex Eyckensis is a manuscript dating from the first half of the eight century.

Excerpt: Sutton Hoo near Woodbridge, Suffolk, England, is the site of two Anglo-Saxon cemeteries of the 6th century and early 7th century, one of which contained an undisturbed ship burial including a wealth of artifacts of outstanding art-historical and archaeological significance. Sutton Hoo is of a primary importance to early medieval historians because it sheds light on a period of English history which is on the margin between myth, legend and historical documentation. Use of the site culminated at a time when the ruler (Rædwald) of East Anglia held senior power among the English people, and played a dynamic (if ambiguous) part in the establishment of Christian rulership in England. It is central to understanding of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of East Anglia and of the period in a wider perspective. The ship-burial, probably dating from the early 7th to 9th century and excavated in 1939, is one of the most magnificent archaeological finds in England for its size and completeness, far-reaching connections, quality and beauty of its contents, and for the profound interest of the burial ritual itself. Although it is the ship-burial which commands the widest attention from tourists, there is also rich historical meaning in the two separate cemeteries, their position in relation to the Deben estuary and the North Sea, and their relation to other sites in the immediate neighbourhood.

Chapters: List of Arrested Development Characters, George Michael Bluth. Excerpt: George Michael Bluth George Michael Bluth (born March 2, 1990), played by Michael Cera is the teenage son of Michael Bluth on the television series Arrested Development . Fictional character biography He is a student, and he works at the family frozen banana stand, where he is quickly promoted by his father to “Mister Manager.” George Michael’s role in the show involves his trying to keep his crush on his cousin a secret, as well as his closeness to his father, Michael. As a running gag in the show, George Michael is almost always seen wearing his shirt tucked in. He is reunited with his cousin Maeby in the first episode, and developed a crush on her after she forcibly kissed him (to teach their parents a lesson for not letting them spend more time together, although it fails because their parents are entirely oblivious to it). He is always polite, generally a motivated student (especially to make his father proud), and later reveals that he is always punctual and never late for events (which he perceives as an interesting talent, but is obviously uninteresting to everyone else, none of them having noticed) because he has a perfect sense of time, calling himself the “human metronome.” In the second season, George Michael started dating a definitively unexciting girl named Ann , a devout Christian whom his father (and Maeby) dislikes and constantly forgets about. George Michael’s relationship with Ann is actually little more than a means of distracting his lingering feelings towards Maeby. Season 2 ends with George Michael and Maeby kissing, to his delight. After the incident, the two try to avoid each other for much of the third season. Later in the third season, he and Maeby accidentally get

Excerpt: Assyrian Neo-Aramaic Rosie Malek-Yonan (Assyrian: ; Persian: ) (born July 4, 1965) is an Assyrian actress, artist, director, author and human rights activist. Born in Tehran, Iran, Rosie Malek-Yonan is a descendant of one of the oldest and most prominent Assyrian families, tracing her Assyrian roots back nearly eleven centuries. The Malek family or tribe came from the Assyrian village of Geogtapah, Urmi (also known as Urmia), a region in northwestern Iran. Geogtapa was the largest Assyrian Christian village in the region and much of it belonged to the Malek-Yonan family with the oldest plot in the family graveyard dating back to 1,100 CE. In the 17th century, Geogtapah became the setting for the famous tragic love story of Aslee from the House of Malek and Karam, a commoner. The tale has been recounted in numerous Assyrian and Russian books. The Aslee and Karam Opera was composed in 1912 by the Azerbaijani composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov. This tragic love story has been compared to that of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. A beautiful stone well was erected in the village of Geogtapah in Aslee’s memory after her heartrending and untimely death. Rosie’s father, George Malek-Yonan (born 1924), an international attorney in Iran, was personally responsible for negotiating and procuring a seat for the Assyrians as a recognized Christian minority in the Iranian Parliament or Majlis of Iran. This was a huge accomplishment for a people who had been without a formal country since the fall of the Assyrian Empire. He also held the title of Champion of Champions in Iran for three years. Rosie’s mother, Lida Malek-Yonan (1928 2002) regarded as an activist and humanitarian, was equally influential in demanding recognition for Assyrian women in Iran by launching a… More:

Chapters: Bauker, Hadeland Folkemuseum, Sister Churches, Lom Stave Church, Lunner Church, Norwegian Olympic Museum, Stampesletta, Vågå Church, Hoff Stone Church. Excerpt: Bauker used to be the military captain’s farm residence in Gausdal, Norway. Bauker as a dwelling originates from the Middle Ages; however, as the Black Death plague spread across Norway in middle 14th century it became disfunctional and eventually it was taken over by the church. In 1791, the mansion Bauker was built for the Gausdal Military Company and became the residence for their captain. The main house was enlarged in 1822 by Captain Peter Christian Ring. The manor ceased to be the Captain’s residence in 1864, when the Norwegian state sold it to vicar Bernt Anker Leigh Knudtssøn, married to Anna Coucheron. From 1876 to 1960 Bauker was run as a tourist inn, at some time part-owned by Liv Coucheron-Torp Heyerdahl Rockefeller and run by Pella Knudtssøn. The main building was renovated in 1887 to include 6 guestrooms, the annexes “Grande” and “Arken” were later raised and Bauker could eventually accommodate 70 guests. (“Grande” was originally the first elementary school for the local neighborhood, built in 1848, known as “Myra Skole”, later sold in 1896 for kr. 500,- to Jacob Knudsøn, taken down and rebuilt at Bauker around 1900.) The property also includes two stabbur, one dating from 1756, the other from 1865. In 1960, the farming and tourist businesses were separated. Bauker’s main building has been listed as National Heritage by the Norwegian state as early as 1923. Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson (famous Norwegian poet and Nobel prize winner) used Bauker as a “relief housing” for both guests and family that visited his mansion Aulestad, a few kilometers down the road.

Inner view of the Cathedral, from the entrance towards the high altar. Gothic altarpiece dating from 1398. The astronomical clock. The legendary Giant Finn, sculptured in the crypt.Lund was an important town long before there was a cathedral. Lund was the site of the Skåne Assembly (Danish: landsting) at St Liber’s Hill into the Middle Ages. It was also the site of a pre-Christian religious center. A cathedral was built in Lund before 1085, but it is difficult to know if the present building was built in the same place. In the gift letter of Canute the Holy, dated to May 21, 1085, there is a mention of a cathedral built during the 1080s. Canute gave several properties that enabled the building of the cathedral. However, sources indicate that Canute’s cathedral is not the present Lund Cathedral. The Cathedral School was established in 1085, making it Denmark’s oldest school. King Erik I of Denmark went to Rome on a pilgrimage and secured two important concessions from Pope Pascal II: sainthood for his murdered brother, Saint Canute IV and the creation of an archdiocese that included all of Scandinavia. Lund was named as the headquarters. Bishop Asser became the first archbishop for all of Scandinavia in 1104 and the cathedral was begun sometime after

Excerpt: Davis Mac-Iyalla (b. 1972 in Port Harcourt ) is a Nigerian LGBT rights activist . He established the Nigerian wing of the British Changing Attitude organization, which presses for internal reform of the Anglican Communion for further inclusion of Anglican sexual minorities. He came out to himself at the age of 14, but his disinterest in dating females was not made apparent to others around him until after two events: the ordination of Gene Robinson as the bishop of New Hampshire in the Episcopalian branch, and the death of his mentor, the Bishop Iyobee Ugede of Otukpo . He was, in July 2003, fired from his job as the principal of a local Anglican children’s school; after this incident, which he believed was due to his being gay, he became an activist and started work with Changing Attitude. He has faced stiff opposition from both the religious elite and their lay constituents in Nigeria, which is a heavily conservative nation in terms of politics. The church of Nigeria has issued a disclaimer against Mac-Iyalla on their website . However, Mac-Iyalla has met with the primate of the Nigerian Church, Peter Akinola , who is most well known for leading an internal faction of the worldwide communion against welcoming actions towards LGBT Anglicans by the British Anglican and U.S. Episcopal churches. Mac-Iyalla has ventured to other countries with Anglican communities on speaking tours . He has been granted refugee status in the United Kingdom, where he now lives. He has been accused by Nigerian Anglicans as a charlatan who made up his life story,

Excerpt: The Archbishop’s Chapel (or Archiepiscopal Chapel ) is a chapel on the first floor of the bishops’ palace in Ravenna , Italy , the smallest of the famous mosaic sites of the city. It is a private oratory of Trinitarian bishops dating from the turn of the 6th century. Although commonly attributed to St. Peter Chrysologus , Archbishop of Ravenna from 433450, the chapel was actually built by Peter II shortly after he became archbishop in 495. The mosaics date from the original construction, or soon after.The tiny cruciform chapel is currently dedicated to Saint Andrew , although the original dedication was to the Saviour , as evidenced by a lunette over the vestibule door representing Christ treading on the beasts , dressed as a general or victorious Emperor. The lower parts of the walls are lined with marble slabs, while the rest of the interior used to be covered with rich, tapestry-like mosaics , as the vault still is. Some parts of these survive, while others were substituted with tempera paintings by Luca Longhi in the 16th century.According to the ICOMOS evaluation of this World Heritage Site , “the significance of this property is the fact that it is the only Early Christian private oratory that has survived to the present day. Its iconography is also important by virtue of its strongly anti-Arian symbolism”. References (URLs online) Coordinates : 44°2455.8N 12°1151.9E / 44.4155°N 12.19775°E / 44.4155; 12.19775A

Excerpt: The Garden of Earthly Delights is a triptych painted by the early Netherlandish master Hieronymus Bosch (c. 14501516), housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid since 1939. Dating from between 1490 and 1510, when Bosch was about 40 or 50 years old, it is his best-known and most ambitious work. The masterpiece reveals the artist at the height of his powers; in no other painting does he achieve such complexity of meaning or such vivid imagery. It depicts several Biblical scenes on a grand scale and as a “true triptych”, as defined by Hans Belting, was perhaps intended to illustrate the history of mankind according to medieval Christian doctrine. The triptych is painted in oil and comprises a square middle panel flanked by two rectangular wings that can close over the center as shutters. These outer wings, when folded shut, display a grisaille painting of the earth during the Creation. The three scenes of the inner triptych are probably (but not necessarily) intended to be read chronologically from left to right. The lef… More:

Excerpt: The Bass Rock , or simply The Bass , (pronounced /bæs/ , rhyming with “mass” rather than “mace”), is an island in the outer part of the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland . It is approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) offshore, and 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north-west of North Berwick . It is a steep-sided volcanic rock, 107 metres (351 ft) at its highest point, and is home to a large colony of gannets . The rock is currently uninhabited, but historically has been settled by an early Christian hermit, and later was the site of an important castle, which was, after the Commonwealth, used as a prison. The island was in the ownership of the Lauder family for almost six centuries, and now belongs to Sir Hew Fleetwood Hamilton-Dalrymple. A lighthouse was constructed on the rock in 1902, and the remains of a chapel are located there. The Bass Rock features in numerous works of fiction, including Robert Stevenson ‘s Catriona .Geography and geology The Bass Rock from North Berwick Bass Rock relative to North Berwick , from North Berwick LawThe island is “a volcanic plug of phonolite “, dating to the Carboniferous period.

Even those well-known specimens of Greek music, as they are claimed to be, the hymns to Apollo, Nemesis, and Calliope, do not date farther back than the third or fourth century, and even these are by no means generally considered authentic. Therefore, so far as actual sounds go, all music of which we have any practical knowledge dates from about the twelfth century. Theoretically, we have the most minute knowledge of the scientific aspect of music, dating from more than five hundred years before the Christian era. This knowledge, however, is worse than valueless, for it is misleading. For instance, it would be a very difficult thing for posterity to form any idea as to what our music was like if all the actual music in the world at the present time were destroyed, and only certain scientific works such as that of Helmholtz on acoustics and a few theoretical treatises on harmony, form, counterpoint and fugue were saved. From Helmholtz’s analysis of sounds one would get the idea that the so-called tempered scale of our pianos caused thirds and sixths to sound discordantly. From the books on harmony one would gather that consecutive fifths and octaves and a number of other things were never indulged in by composers, and to cap the climax one would naturally accept the harmony exercises contained in the books as being the very acme of what we loved best in music.

Eagle (Comic Book): Eagle, Frank Bellamy, Frank Hampson

Excerpt: The Eagle was a British weekly comic, which ran in two main incarnations over the period of 1950 to 1994 (with accompanying annuals). It is strongly associated with its flagship character, Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future, (created and illustrated by Frank Hampson in the earlier photogravure format), doing battle against The Mekon and other interplanetary foes. In the gender-gap tradition of the Amalgamated Press’s weekly story papers dating from the 1920s, Magnet for boys, Schoolgirls Own for girls, followed post-war by comics such as Lion, Tiger {boys} and School Friend {girls}, the Eagle and Girl (1951 1964), clearly aimed at different markets. Cover to Eagle’s original version, dated 12 October 1963, art by Keith WatsonThe Eagle was the creation of the Reverend Marcus Morris, then vicar of St James’ church, Southport, Lancashire, who intended it as a Christian antidote to what he saw as the bad influence of American comics during the post-war period. He strove to produce high quality, inspirational literature unlike any existing at the time, involving the work of teams of graphic artists such as Frank Hampson and Frank Bellamy – even creating mockups of spaceships to use as reference for Dan Dare. The Eagle and its sister papers Girl, Swift and Robin were designed by renowned typographer Ruari McLean, and were read by millions throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Eagle was one of the most popular comics in British history, selling just under 1 million copies per week. The studio first used by the Eagle team was in a former bakehouse in Botanic Road, Southport, Lancashire, and the town’s Botanic Gardens Museum has a display about the town’s part in the Eagle story. This first version ran from 14 April 1950 to 26 April 1969, when it merged with Lio… More:

Faith Under Siege

$28.95

Unknown to most Americans, Thomas Jefferson, John Quincy Adams and Benjamin Franklin were Unitarians. Today their beliefs have been called heretic or Christian, godless or liberal, argumentative or religious, or all of the above. Anatole Browde, an active Unitarian since 1949, uses history and theology to place these conflicting qualities into a unified liberal Judeo-Christian context. Browde is convinced that faith is besieged because Unitarian church goers have diverse belief systems. The power of the original Unitarian idea that God is one is too close to a creed and is therefore often devalued. Using sermons and essays by ministers and philosophers, Browde shows how Unitarianism beliefs dating from the sixteenth century overcame the restrictions of Calvinist predestination and sin, to become a worldwide free religion. Unitarians are free to believe in God, be humanists, have faith in an unknown, or in Christ as a prophet. His narrative provides an insight to the controversies that plagued believers throughout Unitarian history and demonstrates that the concepts of God and faith can make every service a celebration of joy and love.

Excerpt: Kimber Henry is a fictional character in the American television series Nip/Tuck, portrayed by Kelly Carlson. Kimber is a one-time model, pornographic actress, and pornography director and producer. She is one of six series regulars usually at the center of the show’s sometimes boundary-pushing and controversial storylines. Originally a guest star in the pilot episode, Kimber was promoted to a recurring character for the show’s first two seasons before finally becoming a series regular in season three, in part due to both critical and audience acclaim for actress Kelly Carlson’s performance. A troubled blonde bombshell with an anachronistic hairstyle inspired by Marilyn Monroe, Kimber was initially envisaged as a blond, “tarty” model from South Beach until Carlson instilled vulnerability into her performance, ultimately rendering Kimber empathetic. Carlson is also responsible for some of Kimber’s quirks and self-exploration, and has said she enjoys playing a character who is trying to find herself. Series creator Ryan Murphy has noted Kimber’s many “incarnations” through each additional season, her constant reinvention reflective of the series itself. Aspiring model Kimber meets Christian Troy at a bar. She is initially uninterested in him, before being told that he is a plastic surgeon. The two of them have wild sex, but the following morning Christian tells her that she is an “8 out of 10″ and can make her a “10″ by operating on her. After undergoing painful surgery and being ignored by Christian, she vandalizes both his luxurious sports car and his boat. While investigating the culprit, Christian rekindles their relationship and they begin dating. However, Kimber can’t match Christian’s playboy lifestyle, so Christian strikes a deal with … More:

He felt the need to start the project after reading a student’s assignment written using Common Era dating notation rather than the Anno Domini system that he preferred. Although he was “an early Wikipedia enthusiast”, as reported by Shawn Zeller of Congressional Quarterly, Schlafly became concerned about bias after Wikipedia editors repeatedly reverted his edits to the article about the 2005 Kansas evolution hearings. Schlafly expressed hope that Conservapedia would become a general resource for American educators and a counterpoint to the liberal bias that he perceived in Wikipedia.

Iranian Eastern Catholics: Rosie Malek-Yonan

Excerpt: Assyrian Neo-Aramaic Rosie Malek-Yonan (Assyrian: ; Persian: ) (born July 4, 1965) is an Assyrian actress, artist, director, author and human rights activist. Born in Tehran, Iran, Rosie Malek-Yonan is a descendant of one of the oldest and most prominent Assyrian families, tracing her Assyrian roots back nearly eleven centuries. The Malek family or tribe came from the Assyrian village of Geogtapah, Urmi (also known as Urmia), a region in northwestern Iran. Geogtapa was the largest Assyrian Christian village in the region and much of it belonged to the Malek-Yonan family with the oldest plot in the family graveyard dating back to 1,100 CE. In the 17th century, Geogtapah became the setting for the famous tragic love story of Aslee from the House of Malek and Karam, a commoner. The tale has been recounted in numerous Assyrian and Russian books. The Aslee and Karam Opera was composed in 1912 by the Azerbaijani composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov. This tragic love story has been compared to that of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. A beautiful stone well was erected in the village of Geogtapah in Aslee’s memory after her heartrending and untimely death. Rosie’s father, George Malek-Yonan (born 1924), an international attorney in Iran, was personally responsible for negotiating and procuring a seat for the Assyrians as a recognized Christian minority in the Iranian Parliament or Majlis of Iran. This was a huge accomplishment for a people who had been without a formal country since the fall of the Assyrian Empire. He also held the title of Champion of Champions in Iran for three years. Rosie’s mother, Lida Malek-Yonan (1928 2002) regarded as an activist and humanitarian, was equally influential in demanding recognition for Assyrian women in Iran by launching a… More:

Excerpt: The Gospel according to the Hebrews, commonly shortened to the Gospel of the Hebrews, is a lost gospel preserved in fragments within the writings of the Church Fathers. Scholarship generally holds that it was probably composed in Egypt in the second century and originally in Greek although others have suggested Hebrew and Aramaic. James the Just succeeded his brother Jesus of Nazareth as the leader of the prominent Jewish sect which was to become Christianity This group was located in and about Jerusalem and proclaimed that Jesus was the promised Messiah and the Son of God. These early Jewish Christians were thought to have been called Nazarenes. The term Nazarene was first applied to Jesus. After his death, it was the term used to identify the Jewish Sect that believed Jesus was the Messiah. It is has been suggested that Matthew belonged to this group on the basis of the Gospels and later Jewish Talmud. One account of the life and teachings of Jesus, dating from this time was written by a person named Matthew. Papias wrote that Ste. Matthew composed the logia in the Hebrew tongue and each one interpreted them as he was able. Origen wrote, “The very first account to be written was by Matthew, once a tax collector, but later an Apostle of Jesus Christ. Matthew published it for the converts from Judaism and composed it in Hebrew letters.” Eusebius adds insight by explaining that the Apostles “were led to write only under the pressure of necessity. Matthew, who had first preached the Gospel in Hebrew, when on the point of going to other nations, committed the gospel to writing in his native language. Therefore he supplied the written word to make up for the lack of his own presence to those from whom he was sent.” Irenaeus gives us further insi… More:

Excerpt: The small Jewish community of Slovenia (Slovene: ) is estimated at 400 to 600 members, with most living in the capital, Ljubljana. The Jewish community was devastated by the Shoah, and has never fully recovered. Until 2003, Ljubljana was the only European capital city without a Jewish place of worship. The building of the former synagogue in Maribor. The Jewish community of Slovenia pre-dates the 6th century Slavic settlement of the Eastern Alps, when the Slavic ancestors of present-day Slovenes conquered their current territory. The first Jews arrived in present-day Slovenia in Roman times, with archaeological evidence of Jews found in Maribor, and in the village of kocjan in Lower Carniola. In kocjan, an engraved menorah dating from the 5th century AD was found in a graveyard. In the 12th century, Jews arrived to the Slovene Lands fleeing poverty in Italy and central Europe. Even though they were forced to live in ghettos, many Jews prospered. Relations between Jews and the local Christian population were generally peaceful. In Maribor, Jews were successful bankers, winegrowers and millers. Several “Jewish Courts” (Judenhof) existed in Styria, settling disputes between Jews and Christians. Israel Isserlein, who authored several essays on medieval Jewish life in Lower Styria, was the most important rabbi at the time, having lived in Maribor. In 1397, Jewish ghettos in Radgona and Ptuj were set ablaze by anonymous anti-Jewish assailants. The first synagogue in Ljubljana is mentioned in 1213.

He began his education on the island of Sainte Marie, but soon left to finish his studies at the seminary at Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar. In 1935-36 the Malagascan authorities prohibited any further publication of a monthly journal of young people of Madagascar, which he was responsible for. The magazine Revue des Jeunes de Madagascar had 10 issues. The journal was an early example of political writing pre-dating later more well-known examples of négritude. Despite his leadership of the journal, Rabemanajara was chosen in 1939 to attend a commemoration in Paris for the 150th anniversary of the French revolution. Having travelled to Paris he was able to not only gain entry to the Sorbonne and took courses in administration, but also to get his first collection of poetry, On the Steps of the Evening, published. In Paris he met the Senagalese poet and politician Léopold Sédar Senghor and Alioune Diop who all participated in the important African studies journal Presence Africaine. His early work dealt in classical a…

Excerpt: St Albans Cathedral from the west, showing Grimthorpe’s 19th century west front St Albans Cathedral (formerly St Albans Abbey, officially The Cathedral and Abbey Church of St Alban) is a Church of England Cathedral church at St Albans, England. At 84 metres (276 ft), its nave is the longest of any cathedral in England. With much of its present architecture dating from Norman times, it became a cathedral in 1877, and is the second longest cathedral in the United Kingdom. Local residents often call it “the Abbey”, although the present cathedral represents only the church of the old Benedictine abbey. The abbey church, although legally a cathedral church, differs in certain particulars from most of the other cathedrals in England: it is also used as a parish church, of which the Dean is rector. He has the same powers, responsibilities, and duties as the rector of any other parish. Alban was a pagan living in the Roman city of Verulamium, where St Albans is now, in Hertfordshire, England, about 22 miles (35 km) north of London along Watling Street. Before Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire, local Christians were being persecuted by the Romans. Alban sheltered their priest, Saint Amphibalus, in his home and was converted to the Christian faith by him. When the soldiers came to Alban’s house looking for the priest, Alban exchanged cloaks with the priest and let himself be arrested in his stead. Alban was taken before the magistrate, where he avowed his new Christian faith and was condemned for it. He was beheaded, according to legend, on the spot where the cathedral named for him now stands. The site is on a steep hill, and legend has it that his head rolled down the hill after being cut off, and that a well sprang up at t… More:

The phelónion, in Greek, φαιλόνιον (plural, φαιλόνια, phaelónia from New Testament Greek phelones , Latin paenula) is a liturgical vestment worn by a priest of the Eastern Christian tradition. It is worn over the priest’s other vestments and is the same as the chasuble of Western Christianity.Like the chasuble, the phelonion was originally a sort of poncho, a round vestment with a hole in the middle for the head, which fell to the feet on all sides. In its present form (dating from about the fifteenth century) the front is largely cut away (from about the waist down) to facilitate the movements of the priest’s hands. In Russia the longer front remained common until quite recent times. The use of the phelonion is not limited to the Divine Liturgy but is specified for any major liturgical function. It is also called phenolion (φαινόλιον; plural phenolia φαινόλια ) in some books.

Pre-Christian Alpine Traditions

$36.99

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The central and eastern Alps of Europe are rich in folklore traditions dating back to pre-Christian (pagan) times, with surviving elements amalgamated from Germanic, Gaulish (Gallo-Roman), Slavic (Carantanian) and Raetian culture. Ancient customs survived in the rural parts of Austria, Switzerland, Bavaria, Slovenia, western Croatia and Italy in the form of dance, art, processions, rituals and games. The high regional diversity is a result of the mutual isolation of Alpine communities. In the Alps, the relationship between the Roman Catholic Church and paganism has been an ambivalent one. While some customs survived only in the remote valleys inaccessible to the church’s influence, other customs were actively assimilated over the centuries. In light of the dwindling rural population of the Alps, many customs have evolved into more modern interpretations.

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Saint Ginés de la Jara (also known as Ginés de la Xara, Ginés el Franco, Genesius Sciarensis) is a semi-legendary saint of Spain. He is associated with the region surrounding Cartagena, of which he is co-patron. A hermitage was founded adjacent to the Mar Menor, and ruins of a monastery bearing his name date from before the Moorish conquest of 711 AD, that is, from the Visigothic era. Pre-Christian or Muslim origins for the cult of Saint Ginés have been suggested, including identification with the cult of a Roman genius or with an Islamic jinn; as well as with an ancient Carthaginian site dedicated to the god Ba’al. The subsequent association of the site with Christian hermits and anchorites is indisputable. It should be noted, however, that there is no actual tomb or sepulchre for Ginés: the location of his relics was a cause for the invention of multiple legends. Some scholars believe the saint may be identical with Saint Genesius of Arles, in Spanish known as San Ginés de Arlés, who was martyred in the 4th century. His feast day is identical to that of Genesius of Arles, a connection that some scholars consider as proof that they are identical. According to Serafino Prete, the spread and popularity of Genesius cult in other cities of Gaul and beyond gave rise to the multiplication and localization of his cult, so that the saints Genesius of Alvernia, Genesius of Béziers, Genesius of Rome, Genesius of Cordoba and Ginés de la Jara are actually variations on the same saint and saints cult. A legend that appears in a manuscript dating from 1243,

Excerpt: The Bass Rock, or simply The Bass, (pronounced , rhyming with “mass” rather than “mace”), is an island in the outer part of the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland. It is approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) offshore, and 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north-west of North Berwick. It is a steep-sided volcanic rock, 107 metres (351 ft) at its highest point, and is home to a large colony of gannets. The rock is currently uninhabited, but historically has been settled by an early Christian hermit, and later was the site of an important castle, which was, after the Commonwealth, used as a prison. The island was in the ownership of the Lauder family for almost six centuries, and now belongs to Sir Hew Fleetwood Hamilton-Dalrymple. A lighthouse was constructed on the rock in 1902, and the remains of a chapel are located there. The Bass Rock features in numerous works of fiction, including Robert Stevenson’s Catriona. The Bass Rock from North Berwick Bass Rock relative to North Berwick, from North Berwick LawThe island is “a volcanic plug of phonolite”, dating to the Carboniferous period. The rock was first recognised as an igneous intrusion by James Hutton, while Hugh Miller visited in 1847 and wrote about the Rock’s geology in his book Edinburgh and its Neighbourhood, Geological and Historical: with The Geology of the Bass Rock.

From an architectural and art historical point of view Sondershausen Palace can be considered as one of the most important palace complexes in Thuringia. It is an irregular four-wing complex. With its imposing silhouette the former Schwarzburg residence dominates today’s district town of Sondershausen in the Kyffhäuserkreis district. There is proof that some of the oldest building fabrice of the castle dating from the end of the 13th century can be attributed to the Counts of Hohnstein. The remaining tower was integrated under Count Günther XL of Schwarzburg when the Renaissance palace, consisting of the south, east and old north wings, was build between the 1530s and the 1550s. Under Prince Christian Wilhelm of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen , who reigned between 1666 and 1720, a busy building activity started in the 1680s. The three Renaissance wings of the palace were altered and enlarged in the Baroque style.

Excerpt: Saint Augustine’s College is a historically black college located in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. The college was founded in 1867 in Raleigh, North Carolina by prominent Episcopal clergy for the education of freed slaves. Located 10 blocks east of the State Capital, St. Augustine’s College was founded in 1867, an outgrowth of Christian missionary work by northerners in the Reconstruction-era South. With Shaw University, it established Raleigh as a center of educational opportunity for freedmen and over the years has graduated many of the region’s most accomplished African Americans. Affiliated with the Episcopal Church, St. Augustine’s began as a normal school with a technical and trade-related program and subsequently adopted a liberal arts curriculum. The church further extended its mission by establishing St. Agnes Hospital and Training School for Nurses, to provide medical care for and by African Americans. Historically, the school also has served as an anchor of the predominantly black neighborhoods of Idlewild and College Park, which flank it. The evolving nature of the school is reflected in its varied architecture. The campus’ earliest buildings are clustered around a central, landscaped oval and near Oakwood Avenue, which runs east to west past the school. St. Augustine’s Chapel (1895) was constructed of stone in the Gothic style; the Romanesque Benson Library building (1896), which is now part of Taylor Hall (1902), and St. Agnes Hospital (1909) were also built from stone. The Hunter, Delany and Cheshire buildings, dating from the early 20th century, were constructed of brick in the Classical Revival style. While contemporary buildings of the school’s outer grounds provide a modernist contrast, the campus core remains a tangible … More:

Excerpt: The FRA law, a controversial anti-terrorist legislative package in Sweden, has been heavily criticized both in Sweden and elsewhere. Although the Swedish Social Democratic Party voted against the proposition, their opposition was merely on technical grounds as they put forth the original proposition in 2007. All four parties in the ruling government coalition Alliance for Sweden (the Moderate Party, the Centre Party, the Liberal People’s Party and the Christian Democrats) voted in favor of the proposition. Only two parties in the Riksdag, the Left Party and the Green Party, outright rejected the proposition. However, the youth organizations of all seven riksdag parties, including those of the ruling coalition parties, have spoken out against the proposal. Their responses are below. There have been more or less organized resistance internally in all of the four parties voting for the law, both informal and organized through organizations as CenterUppropet and Borgerligt Nej. On June 13, 2008, the Centre Party Youth (CUF) published a news item on their website stating that “CUF wants more integrity, not less”, and that they are sorry the law passed. Their chairman, Magnus Andersson, is quoted as saying “We still wish the law had not passed, nothing else is okay from our perspective.” The Liberal Youth of Sweden (LUF) posted several news releases about the FRA law, the earliest dating June 10, 2008 and titled “FRA is the threat”. In it, chairperson Frida Johansson Metso states that LUF demands that all Liberal People’s Party MPs vote against the proposition, citing a party program stating that states that “liberals have, throughout history, always struggled against those who have wanted to restrict the sanctity of the individual”, asking the r… More:

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Tower of David (Hebrew: מגדל דוד&lrm;, Migdal David, Arabic: برج داود&lrm;, Burj Daud) is an ancient citadel located near the Jaffa Gate entrance to the Old City of Jerusalem. Built to strengthen a strategically weak point in the Old City’s defenses, the citadel was constructed during the second century BCE and subsequently destroyed and rebuilt by, in succession, the Christian, Muslim, Mamluk, and Ottoman conquerors of Jerusalem. It contains important archaeological finds dating back 2,700 years, and is a popular venue for benefit events, craft shows, concerts, and sound-and-light performances. The name “Tower of David” is only accurate in the historical sense, as King David’s original tower and fortifications were destroyed to the foundation several hundred years before this tower was reconstructed on them and rebuilt continuously.

Excerpt: The Latin word basilica (derived from Greek , Basilikè Stoá , Royal Stoa , the tribunal chamber of a king), was originally used to describe a Roman public building, usually located in the forum of a Roman town. Public basilicas begin to appear in Hellenistic cities in the 2nd century BC.Basilicas were also used for religious purposes. The remains of a large subterranean Neopythagorean basilica dating from the first century were found near the Porta Maggiore in Rome in 1915; the stuccoes on the interior vaulting have survived, though their exact interpretation remains a matter for debate. The ground-plan of Christian basilicas in the 4th century was similar to that of this Neopythagorean basilica, which had three naves, and an apse.After the Roman Empire became officially Christian , the term came by extension specifically to refer to a large and important church that has been given special ceremonial rites by the Pope . Thus the word retains two senses today, one architectural and the other ecclesiastical.Architecture Remains of the Basilica of Maxentius and Constantine in Rome.

It is approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) offshore, and 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north-west of North Berwick. It is a steep-sided volcanic rock, 107 metres (351 ft) at its highest point, and is home to a large colony of gannets. The rock is currently uninhabited, but historically has been settled by an early Christian hermit, and later was the site of an important castle, which was, after the Commonwealth, used as a prison. The island was in the ownership of the Lauder family for almost six centuries, and now belongs to Sir Hew Fleetwood Hamilton-Dalrymple. A lighthouse was constructed on the rock in 1902, and the remains of a chapel are located there. The Bass Rock features in numerous works of fiction, including Robert Stevenson’s Catriona.

Excerpt: The Svetitskhoveli Cathedral is one of the most venerated places of worship for Georgian Orthodox Christians. Svetitskhoveli Cathedral (Georgian: , svet’icxovlis sak’atedro t’adzari; literally, “the Living Pillar Cathedral”) is a Georgian Orthodox cathedral located in the historical town of Mtskheta, Georgia, 20 km (12.5 miles) northwest of the nation’s capital of Tbilisi. Svetitskhoveli, known as the burial site of Christ’s mantle, has long been the principal Georgian church and remains one of the most venerated places of worship to this day. It presently functions as the seat of the archbishop of Mtskheta and Tbilisi, who is at the same time Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia. The current cathedral was built in the 11th century by the Georgian architect Arsakisdze, though the site itself is even older dating back to the early 4th century and is surrounded by a number of legends associated primarily with the early Christian traditions. It is the second largest church building in the country, after the recently consecrated Tbilisi Sameba Cathedral, and is listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site along with other historical monuments of Mtskheta. “The Glory of Iveria”.

Yeha

$43.99

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yeha is a village in northern Ethiopia, located in the Mehakelegnaw Zone of the Tigray Region. The Central Statistical Agency has not published an estimate for this village’s 2005 population. The oldest standing structure in Ethiopia is located in Yeha: the Great Temple. This is a tower built in the Sabaean style, and dated through comparison with dated structures in South Arabia to around 700 BC; although no radiocarbon dating testing has been performed on samples from Yeha, this date for the Great Tower is supported by local inscriptions. David Phillipson attributes its “excellent preservation” to two factors, “the care with which its original builders ensured a level foundation, firmly placed on the uneven bedrock; and to its rededication — perhaps as early as the sixth century AD — for use as a Christian church.” Two other archeological sites at Yeha include Grat Beal Gebri, a ruined complex distinguished by a portico 10 meters wide and two sets of square pillars, and a graveyard containing several rock-hewn shaft tombs first investigated in the early 1960s.
