The grand architectural dome of St. Peter’s Cathedral in Vatican City is framed by an open window in the Vatican Museum, with intricate details visible in the sunlight. The structure's classical design contrasts with the simple interior view from which it is admired.

The grand architectural dome of St. Peter’s Cathedral in Vatican City is framed by an open window in the Vatican Museum, with intricate details visible in the sunlight. The structure's classical design contrasts with the simple interior view from which it is admired. This is the best and closest view you can get of the dome of St Peter’s! #rome #vaticancity #vatican #stpeters #church #basilica #cathedral #dome #architecture #window #view #historic #classical #ornate #BuyIntoArt #AYearForArt #artforsale #wallartforsale #giftideas @joancarroll https://joan-carroll.pixels.com/featured/st-peters-basilica-through-the-window-joan-carroll.html

It's about time that more and more people learn of that white supremacist, Curtis Yarvin, and his #DarkEnlightenment philosophy asking with the #cathedral

I've been working for silly valley companies most of my career and the mainstream confused that tech companies are liberal. They aren't & never will liberal. The anti-women manifesto from that loser at Google should have woken them up

It is mostly white male supremacy fueled by misogyny

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.

▴ Uppsala Cathedral

Uppsala Cathedral is the largest church building in Scandinavia, with its twin spires reaching over 118 meters into the sky. I had the privilege of seeing the imposing cathedral regularly, but capturing it shrouded in fog remains one of my favorite moments.

Fog-shrouded view of Uppsala Cathedral with its spires barely visible, reflected in the still waters of the river lined with trees and a wooden boardwalk.
