    The headstone of Chaplin G. Tyler whose epitaph reads "Onward Christian soldier." I find it interesting that his date of birth is given rather than his date of passing.

    Christian Dating

    Image by ell brown
    Stunning view of St Nicholas Church in Kings Norton from the Pershore Road South. Just look at those trees (back in the spring)

    It is a Grade I listed building.

    Substantial medieval church of sandstone with nave, aisles, chancel and west tower with spire, south porch. Norman origin but predominantly late C13 and C14. Major feature of C15 west tower and spire with contemporary south porch, gabled clerestory a C17 addition chancel restored with considerable reconstruction by Ewan Christian C1863. North aisle rebuilt with the old materials and vestry added to north west end in the restoration of 1872 by W J Hopkins. The chancel retains 2 reset C12 round arched windows in the north wall, and was probably rebuilt in the early C13 with a further rebuild in the C14. Major rebuilding commenced late C13 with the 7 bay north aisle arcade, the south aisle arcade being early C14 – octagonal and quatrefoil clustered shaft piers, but one circular. Arches of 2 chamfered orders. C14 chancel arch of 2 orders with ball flower ornament to inner one, south aisle windows with hood moulds C14: north aisle windows altered in 1872 restoration. The tower and spires of the C15: 4 stages, the belfry arcade to each face with 4 2-light mullioned-transomed windows, outer ones blind, all with crocketted gabled drip moulds with finials. Crenellated parapet with corner pinnacles, the graceful octagonal spire rising above in 3 stages, the south porch also C15 with remains of a crocketed image bracket above the doorway in the gable. Inside the porch the carved corner corbels indicate the original intention to vault in stone. In C1659 (dated beam) the 3 gables containing the south clerestory were added, those to the north removed in the rebuilding of the north aisle of 1872. Good C16 and C17 monuments mostly grouped under the tower, noteworthy for its strapwork the alabaster altar-tomb with recumbent effigies of Sir Richard Grevis and 1632 and his wife. The church holds a commanding position on a hillock set in a churchyard on the north side of the green. The tower is a landmark.

      Portal from a stave church, exhibited at historisk museum oslo Norway

      Stave Church Portal Norway. Lions on pillars, dragons and serpents. saamiblog.blogspot.com/

      This Portal is from Ål Stavkirke in Hallingdal, Norway.

      Ål Stavkirke was built about 1100 when the heathen Gods still were worshiped in the Nordic areas. Other archaeological findings such as woven tapestries from the present areas of Sweden dated to that period have pagan symbols such as the Gods Odin, Thor and Frøy. The present Swedish areas were Christianised earlier than the present Norwegian areas.

        Daihi-tei
        Christian Dating

        Image by jpellgen
        The Daihi-tei was originally a summer house for Date Mitsumune when it was located in Edo. It was moved here by Tadamune in 1647 to further honor his deceased son. It houses the image of Shokanzeon Bosatsu, the goddess of mercy. It is now recognized as the main hall of the temple.

        Built in 1646 by Date Tadamune (1599-1658), Entsu-in is a Buddhist temple in Matsushima honoring his son, Mitsumune (1627-1645), who died at an early age. The temple includes a mausoleum as well as a rose garden and famous rock garden. The temple is also known for hidden Christian symbolism seen throughout the grounds.

        The Sankei-den houses the mausoleum of Date Mitsumune. The interior is a lavish display much like the tomb of Megohime found down the path at Zuigan-ji. Mitsumune was the son of Tadamune, and also the great-grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu. He died at the young age of 19. Some believe he was poisoned because he was a danger to the power of the Tokugawa.

          San Biagio Platani – Archi di Pasqua
          Christian Dating

          Image by m4_n1c4
          A San Biagio Platani (Agrigento) in occasione della Pasqua il corso principale del paese viene ornato dai tradizionali "archi di pane".

          Le strutture degli archi (alte anche più di dieci metri) sono realizzate dalle due confraternite (Madunnara e Signurara) con materiali naturali locali: salice, canne, palme.

          Gli archi sono poi decorati con legumi, cereali, forme di pane e di zucchero, erbe selvatiche e frutti (alloro, asparagi selvatici, rosmarino, datteri, agrumi).

          La competizione tra le due confraternite raggiunge il culmine la notte del sabato santo, quando ciascuna di esse allestisce la parte del corso che le compete.

          Il rito nasce nel ’700 dal culto della Madonna e del Cristo Risorto, le cui statue vengono fatte incontrare la mattina di Pasqua sotto gli archi centrali del corso.

          Al di là dell’ovvia simbologia cristiana legata alla festa della resurrezione, è evidente il retaggio di riti ben più antichi legati all’avvicendarsi delle stagioni, alla celebrazione del ritorno della primavera e con essa della rinascita della natura e dell’abbondanza.

          ——On Easter day in San Biagio Platani (Agrigento – Sicily) the main street of the town is adorned by the traditional "arches of bread."

          The structures (more than ten meters high) are made by the two brotherhoods ( Madunnara and Signurara ) with local natural materials like willow limbs and reeds.

          The arches are decorated with legumes, cereals, loaves of bread and sugar cookies, wild herbs and fruits (laurel, wild asparagus, rosemary, dates, citrus fruits).

          On the night of Holy Saturday the competition between the two brotherhoods reaches its climax, when each of them decorates his part of the street.

          This tradition started in the 16th century and originated from the devotion to the Virgin Mary and to the Christ, whose statues meat each other on Easter morning under the central arch of street.

          The Christian symbolism is obvious and is a celebration of the “Resurrection”. On the other side it is also clear the legacy from much more ancient rites related to the seasonal renewal, to the celebration of spring and of food abundance.
