A TRIBUTE TO MAN MESSIAH.
Cathedral or Las Lajas Sanctuary
The Shrine of Our Lady of Las Lajas Cathedral or Las Lajas in Colombia, was built in 1916
on a site where, according to local legend, the Virgin appeared. The story goes like this:
an Indian named Mary Mueses de Quiñones was carrying her deaf-mute daughter Rosa on
her back near Las Lajas. Tired of climbing, Mary sat on a rock when Rosa spoke (for the first
time) about an apparition in a cave.Later on, a mysterious painting of the Virgin Mary with
a baby was discovered on the wall of the cave. Supposedly, studies of the painting showed
no proof of paint or pigments on the rock - instead, when a core sample was taken, it was
found that the colors were impregnated in the rock itself to a depth of several feet. Whether
true or not, the legend spurred the building you a gothic church worthy of a fairy tale.
The Holy Family
La Sagrada Familia, or Catalan "La Sagrada Familia" is yet-to-be-finished Roman Catholic basilica in
Barcelona, Spain.The church design is rich with Christian symbolism, with façades with intricate
details describing the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Perhaps the most impressive
are the eighteen towers representing the 12 Apostles, 4 Evangelists, the Virgin Mary, and a central
tower - the tallest of them all - representing Christ. The construction of the Basilica of the Sagrada
Familia began in 1882, directed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, who devoted his life to it. When
people say that construction had taken a long time, Gaudí replied that he was building the church
of God, and that his client was not in a hurry.
Then known as "God's architect". In 1926, Gaudí was run over by a street car. Because of his ragged
attire and empty pockets, no one wanted to take him to the hospital. Finally, I was taken to a hospital,
where no one knew him until his friends found him and tried to transfer him to another hospital. Gaudí
refused, saying that he belonged to the poor, and died a few days later. Because Gaudí refused
to work with drawings, preferring to use his imagination and memory instead, construction of the
Sagrada Familia was halted after his death.Part of the church was even burnt during the Spanish
Civil War. Construction of La Sagrada Familia was restarted afterwards and continues until today.
St. Basil's Cathedral
As its name implies, Basil Cathedral [wiki] in the Red Square in Moscow, Russia, named after
Saint Basil (who is also known as Basil fool for Christ). The story goes that called in the 1500s,
an apprentice shoemaker / serf Basil stole from the rich to give to the poor. He also naked,
put on chains, and rebuked Ivan the Terrible for not paying attention in church. Most of the
time, admonishing "El Terrible" was not a good idea, but apparently Ivan had a soft spot for
the Mad (as Basil was also known) and ordered a church to be built in his name after Basil died .
The St. Basil's Cathedral, a Russian Orthodox church, a series of colorful bulbous domes that
taper to a point, aptly named onion dome, part of the skyline of Moscow, the Kremlin (although
the church is not really part of the Kremlin).

Santa Sofia
St. Sofia Cathedral is the world famous historical and architectural monument
of the first
half of the 11th century. The name of the cathedral comes from
Greek word "sofia",
which means "wisdom". Built in the
times of Yaroslav Mudry, the cathedral served as a
social, political and
cultural center of Kievan Rus, where foreign ambassadors were
received,
chronicles were recorded and the first Russian library, founded by Yaroslav
Mudry himself, functioned. Yaroslav Mudry's ruling was the time when art,
education and
culture prospered. As of Kiev, it became one of the most
beautiful cities in Europe and
Asia.
Construction of Sofia cathedral played an
important role in Kiev's look formation.
The cathedral was founded in 1037. Originally it had 5 naves and was
surrounded with 2
circled galleries. During the centuries the architectural look
of the cathedral had been
changing. The cathedral was badly damaged during the
Tatar yoke and then
restored; it was burned many times and was reconstructed
again. In 1707 St. Sofia
cathedral was rebuilt in the style of Ukrainian
baroque and topped with typical
pear-shaped cupolas. Nowadays the building of
the cathedral combines constructions
of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. In
the temple erection in different times
participated such architects as Shedel,
Sparro, Zaborovsky and others.
For many years St. Sofia Cathedral served as a burial place of Kiev
princes.
In the cathedral remains of Yaroslav Mudry, his son Vsevolod, and
Vladimir Monomakh
are buried.
The cathedral is famous for its mosaics and frescos by Byzantine masters
that date
back to the 11th century. Marvelous frescos decorate walls, pillars
and vaults. Inside
, the central part of the cathedral is decorated with large
mosaic depicting praying
Virgin Maria. The mosaic is 6 meters high and consists
of stone and glass plates
of different colors and hues. Some frescos are
especially interesting from both historical
and artistic points of view, as
they represent not only Holy Bible subjects, but also secular
ones. For
example, in the cathedral one can see portraits of Yaroslav Mudry family
members. The belfry is decorated with paintings of the 11th century depicting
scenes
of the games arranged in Constantinople by Emperor Constantine in honor
of Princess
Olga. Paintings represent clowns, jugglers, musicians, dancers,
animal trainers and chariot
races. Notes and images on the walls and
architectural details of St. Sophia Cathedral,
known as Sophia graffiti, are of
great historical value. About 300 graffiti relate political
events of ancient
days and historical personalities. The earliest notes gave the historians
opportunity to define time of the cathedral construction and decoration more
accurately. Nowadays St. Sofia Cathedral is an architectural and historical
preserve.
It ranges among the most beautiful temples of Kiev and the major
attractions of the capital
of Ukraine
Basilica of St. Peter
It is the world's largest religious building, not to mention the center of Christianity,
I suppose, belongs to this list. The Basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican is built over the
tomb of St. Peter the Apostle, and is the largest church in the small country. It is truly
immense: the church covers an area of 5.7 acres (2.3 hectares) and has a capacity of
over 60,000 people.
Before the Basilica of St. Peter, as we know it was built, there was already a church
built in 324 CE by Emperor Constantine, the first Christian emperor of Rome.That
church lasted for about 1,200 years, until the collapse of the structure was demolis
hed to build the basilica today. The St. Peter's Basilica was built by the Renaissance:
Michelangelo designed he dome, Gian Lorenzo Bernini designed the main square,
and Donato Bramante was the first architect of the church.

Notre Dame
Notre Dame de Paris, or simply Notre Dame is the perfect example of Gothic architecture.
Construction of the church began in 1163, when Bishop Maurice de Sully decided to
build a cathedral befitting their status as the bishop of Paris. Notre Dame was completed some
200 years later - one of the first European cathedrals to be built on a truly monumental scale.
A particularly notable feature of Notre Dame are their rosettes - massive (at the time they
were the largest windows in the world) Circular stained glass windows depicting scenes from
the Bible. Legend has it that when Notre Dame's bell "Emmanuel" was recast in the 1600s,
women threw their gold jewelry into the molten metal to give the bell its unique luster.
At the end of the 18th century, during the French Revolution, the church was ransacked,
its treasures plundered and many of the statues of saints were beheaded.Notre Dame was
dedicated to the worship of reason and the cult of the Supreme Being - for a while, it was
even used as a stable! In 1831, Notre Dame was made famous by Victor Hugo, who wrote
"The Hunchback of Notre Dame" Quasimodo, a hunchback bell ringer who fell in love with
the gypsy Esmeralda. The book's popularity erupted in France and helped the restoration of
the cathedral back to its original splendor.

Hallgrímskirkja (Icelandic for Hallgrimskirkja), the tallest building in Iceland, is the name of Hallgrímur
Pétursson, poet and cleric 17th century.Church unusual design (some have compared to a rude
hand gesture) is supposed to represent volcanic columns, which reaches from the bell tower - a
reference to the many volcanoes in Iceland. The iconic building looks like it belongs in JRR Tolkien's
The Lord of the Rings. In fact, many aspects of Tolkien's work was inspired by Norse mythology and
many of the fictional names in the book are of Nordic origin, although there is no reference
Hallgrímskirkja served as a model of the towers in the book.
You can not miss the distinctive curved walls of the Church of Tor Tre Teste Jubilee in Rome.
"It was designed in 1996 by architect Richard Meier, who said the church modern style is
the" jewel in the crown (the Vicariate of Rome of the Archdiocese of Rome), the Millennium
Project. "And he was right! The curved walls not only serve to minimize engineering thermal
load peaks in the inner space, they are also a religious methapor:Three circles of equal radius
generate the profiles of the three shells that, together with the spine wall, make up the body
of the ship. While the three shells discretely imply the Holy Trinity, the reflecting pool symbolizes
water in the ritual of baptism.
Notre Dame du Haut
If there was a church model Elvis hair, Le Corbusier's Notre Dame du Haut. The chapel is pilgrimate
in Ronchamp, France. In fact, it is more famous than the small town that most people simply call the
structure of Ronchamp.
The ability to design unusual undulating concrete cover is evident when it rains: water flows from a
source to the inclined roof, creating a spectacular waterfall. Although very different from his usual
design, Notre Dame du Haut is considered one of the best works of Le Corbusier.

The Crystal Cathedral is neither glass nor a cathedral. However, the mega Christian church in the
city of Orange Orange is an amazing church.Created by "The Hour of Power" televangelist Rev.
Dr. Robert H. Schuller and his wife Arvella, and designed by architect Philip Johnson, the church is
composed almost entirely of glass with a network like steel frame.
From the outside, the Crystal Cathedral is shaped like giant four-pointed crystal star, with the main
cathedral "," rising 12 stories above the ground, with an outside mirror composed of about 12,000
glass panels. The view is even more amazing from the inside, where the transparent glass lets in
the surrounding view, sunlight and sky. The Crystal Cathedral also has one of the largest pipe
organs in the world, named Hazel Wright Pipe Organ, with 5 consoles controlling 270 degrees,
31 digital ranks, and more than 16,000 pipes!
