#I need to see more catholic art of the locked tomb

[tooturtly]

Thinking about how Kiriona’s chest with teeth is an inversion of Jesus’ sacred heart imagery. Like, a barbed, luminous heart, that represents (un)dying love for the world? Come on.

Kiriona gave her sacred heart to Harrow, to her world. She died for her, so that she could ascend. But instead of warm and glowing heart imagery, she gets a hole with teeth. Not just thorns pointing inward, but teeth, a warning.

I think it also shows how Jod sees her act of sacrifice in relation to himself (an entire post by itself, but I digress). He might have kept her body as is, but no, along with giving Kiriona impenetrable skin, to make her a better weapon for him, he gave her a heart that will hurt anyone who tries to reach for it, even herself.

Lessons

First Lesson: Acts 2:14a, 22-32

14aPeter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed [the crowd], 22“You that are Israelites, listen to what I have to say: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with deeds of power, wonders, and signs that God did through him among you, as you yourselves know—23this man, handed over to you according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of those outside the law. 24But God raised him up, having freed him from death, because it was impossible for him to be held in its power. 25For David says concerning him,                   ‘I saw the Lord always before me,                    for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken;  26therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;                    moreover my flesh will live in hope.  27For you will not abandon my soul to Hades,                    or let your Holy One experience corruption.  28You have made known to me the ways of life;                    you will make me full of gladness with your presence.’               29“Fellow Israelites, I may say to you confidently of our ancestor David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30Since he was a prophet, he knew that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would put one of his descendants on his throne. 31Foreseeing this, David spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, saying,                   ‘He was not abandoned to Hades,                    nor did his flesh experience corruption.’ 32This Jesus God raised up, and of that all of us are witnesses.”

Second Lesson: 1 Peter 1:3-9

3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, 5who are being protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6In this you rejoice, even if now for a little while you have had to suffer various trials, 7so that the genuineness of your faith—being more precious than gold that, though perishable, is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8Although you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, 9for you are receiving the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Gospel Acclamation:

Gospel: John 20:19-31

19When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 20After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” 22When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

              24But Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.”        26A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 27Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe.” 28Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” 29Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.”               30Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book. 31But these are written so that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life in his name.

Sermon:

Hymn of the Day:

Creed

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son,* who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Week 5

Chapter nineteen and twenty are about different types of styles of art in certain areas in Europe between the sixteenth and eighteenth century. During the sixteenth century in Western Europe there were a lot of advances and conflicts between religion, politics, and science (Adams). This is the time where the thirty year war broke out between Catholics and the Protestants (Adams). As well in England their ruler, King Charles, was beheaded (Adams).

The seventeenth century wasn’t only about art it was a time for scientific discovery. William Harvey created the system of blood circulation (Adam). Even some scientists at this time got into trouble with the church. For example, Isaac Newton when he discovered the laws of gravity got into conflict with a Catholic king, James ll (Adams). However, there were some that played by the rules. Rene Descartes based his philosophy of systematic doubt, but avoided conflict with the church by stating God was the source of the original creator of reason (Adams). I think Rene Descartes was very smart in the sense that he said that, so he could still do what he loves by not letting anyone hold him back .

The first style was Baroque style, which means diverse, and imperfect happened at this time (Adams). Baroque remained unlimitedly emotional, and more energetic than before. It was very common for Baroque artists to reject parts of the Mannerist style (Adams). For example, people who pursued a Baroque style would more likely study nature than ones who were Mannerists (Adams). This meant art now resembled some of the scientific discoveries of this time period (Adams). On the other hand, there was a outbreak of dramatic and emotional art as well. The Baroque and Renaissance had many differences in their color, lighting, and the way the derw as well (Adams). I love the way they are not afraid to do something new not that much time has passed from the Renaissance and they are already being different and getting credit for it.

Another major art during this time was architecture. Many people may not see or realize architecture is an important art form, but it is. One example at this time is in Italy. They were rebuilding Saint Peter’s when Julius ll became Pope (Adams). No one realizes how hard it is to build this. You need the write measurements to put the columns apart and the right size columns. The best part in my opinion is they built it right above St. Peter’s tomb (Adams). I would love to go see this in real life to see a saints tomb. I love the way they have the light and dark contradicting each other that the columns have the dark bronze that make the light marble stand out more (Adams). When they made it their goal was to provide an impressive approach to the church. The architecture represents Baroque style by involving the crowd in a created space (Adams). I actually think the space leading to the high altar was the perfect touch for this masterpiece it really made it more interesting for me to read about.

The eighteenth century however had many different art work trends. The most recognizable in my opinion of this time is the Rococo Style . The general Rococo picture would include parks, gardens while Cupids flying above (Adams). Rococo is very frantasy and graceful. Last but not least this was the Age of Enlightenment (Adams). This is a time where philosophy idea were put into political movements. For example, John Locke believed that all knowledge of facts comes from experience, which later would become the basis of the scientific method. Locke also believed in a social contract that argued of divine right (Adams). You’ll see these Enlightenment ideas in years to come in new nations that will become independent from their absolute ruler. I loved this time because without the Enlightenment we, America, wouldn’t be like we are today. We took idea from many philosophers. I am very appreciative for this time of the art of science. I love how far we are with the discovery and observations of the human body because hopefully I can reach my goal of being a doctor and to further this research.

Paris, France

I had been obsessed with Paris ever since i was a kid. It seemed so classy, rich, and full of life. So when I graduated High School, my parents took me and my brother on a two week trip over seas. Our first stop, Paris. I love this city but it was not at all what I expected. The movies make it seem so perfect and clean and everything is supposed to be grand and majestic. However, I didnt feel that “Paris finesse” that i thought i would. It is not nearly as clean and proper as i expected it to be but what busy town is? The subway system is much like NY and thankfully most people speak English. The only problem we had with language barrier really was menus at restaurants. The waiters are not super patient with you when you need everything explained. I tried many new cuisines on this trip. The plain ride was split into two. One four how ride, from Nashville, and another 8 hour flight into Paris. I believe we took a cab to the hotel from the airport. I am not good at remembering the details since its been about 6 years since with trip, so let me do the best i can. 

Highlights of Paris, France

Obviously the Eiffel Tower --You have to make a couple of trips to the tower to gets the full experience. One during the day, and go up to the top. Now i would never ever go to the top again, but i definitely would regret it if i did not. Its beautiful and great exposure therapy for those afraid of heights. The worst part is the elevator. Super sketchy and its clear so you can see out as you're going up. Like i said, NEVER AGAIN but you definitely have to do it. There is the option to walk up the stair i believe, ...more power to ya.... -- Go see the tower at night. Its amazing with the lights shining up on it. Also, there is a light show every half hour or so where the tower sparkles with light. Its is an amazing site. Seeing the Eiffel Tower at night should be on your bucket list. 

The Catacombs - Super creepy and one of my favorites. Me and my brother made a spur of the moment decision to go into the catacombs and it was one of my favorite experiences thus far. It is just so different from all the tourist things to do when you travel to popular spots like Paris. The history i do not remember much, bare with me it has been about 6 years since i took this trip. I believe the story goes that the graves of these people had to be removed because of a soil infestation of some sort. They made an under ground grave (the catacombs) for all the remains of the ones removed from the grave site. None of these bones are marked, they are all pilled up on each other in a long hallway full of random bones. Its so cool. There are several spots with grave stones but of course they are in french and i couldn't tell you a lick of what they say. Probably something creepy. Definitely a go to if you have the time and are not too squeamish.  

Arc De Triomphe - In the middle of a busy intersection and the drivers are CRAZY. Thankfully there is a tunnel under the street to get to the arc and its beautiful. At the top is an amazing view of the tower. The arc is similar to that of the one in Rome. If you are planning a trip to Paris, then this is definitely already on your bucket list so ill let you see for yourself. 

Random place- this super cool gelato/ice cream shop. I do not remember where it is or what its called but you can see a little of the logo on my cone here. ITS AMAZING and i would go back to Paris just to get this ice cream again. IT COMES IN THE SHAPE OF A ROSE! Like does ice cream get much better than that? If anyone knows the name of this place, let me know. 

Notre Dame De Paris- Amazing cathedral in Paris. It was walking distance from our hotel with basically everything we wanted was. We went to a Sunday morning mass. Most of the service is in french but if you are Catholic is a great experience. Of course you can walk through the church at any time, even during service. Its beautiful. 

The louvre - Im not a big museum person but my father is. This place is HUGE. Like when i say huge i mean if you are wanting to actually look at everything here, then you need to set aside a few days to look through everything. Me on the other hand. walked in and went straight to the Mona Lisa and that all i wanted. Its a beautiful place and worth a walk through. 

Napoleon Tomb - Super neat. Not a lot to see but its is magnificent. Stands in the center of the  Les Invalides. 

Shopping - I was so excited to do some shopping in Paris. So much so we set aside and entire day for me to do just that. I was actually really disappointed. I did not find anything that i couldn't get in the states. However, i did get a pair of shoes that i am in love with. The best part, every time i wear them someone asks where i got them and i get to say Paris. I would definitely encourage you to do some shopping because everything i bought i still have and its a great reminder of your trip every time you wear it. AND its not a touristy souvenir. Also, all the tags and labels are in french so it makes you feel fancy.

Pont De Arts Bridge - This is the bridge you see all over social media where lovers traveling to Paris write their initials on a key lock, lock it on the bridge railing and through the key in the river. Signifying that their love will never be unlocked. However, i have heard rumors that the city is cutting all the locks off the bridge. This is disappointing because it is such a cool concept, but i can see why they are doing it. There were so many locks on this bridge that there was no room for more locks so people were starting to clasp their lock on other peoples locks. Its a site to see if you are able to get there before the locks are gone or after the bridge is full again.

I cant think of any misses for the trip to Paris. We basically did all you can do. My biggest recommendation is to just walk around the city, without getting into parts you should not. Do a LOT of research on the safest places to be browsing about. Take the subway once or twice just to say you did it. Most places are walking distance if you get the right hotels. Try to become part of the culture while you are there. Ask around for the best local food and bars. Talk to people, get their story. The best part of traveling is the cultures, so embrace it. Do not get wrapped up in being a tourist, this is the hardest thing to do when you are in a country you are not familiar with. Stay safe and enjoy Paris my friends. My next tip is that any time you are traveling over seas, take advantage of being over there. Visit as many nearby countries/ cities as you can. Much cheaper to travel around while you are there than to go directly there from the states. This particular trip was two weeks in total. We spent about 4 days in Paris. Our next stop, England.

I am an official Tour Guide  in Hungary since 2006 and I haven’t been to Pécs yet. I don’t live in Hungary anymore and when I come to Budapest I usually stay there. Now it is spring, the weather is amazingly nice so I decided to discover the country during my holiday until I start to work in Bulgaria in June.

Why to go to Pécs?

Zsolnay ceramics, 400-year-old Turkish architecture, UNESCO World Heritage Site, 2000-year-old Roman ruins, the largest Early Christian Necropolis outside Italy, 2010 European Capital of Culture, University Town

How to get to Pécs from Budapest?

Pécs is in Transdanubia, South of Budapest in Hungary. You can go there from Budapest by train (ELVIRA – MÁV – about direct 9 trains per day, 3 hours), by bus (Volánbusz – about 9 busses per day, 5,5 hours) and of course by car (~208 km, 2 hours).

I went by train, all trains leave from the Southern Railway Station (Déli Pályaudvar). I was in Pécs by 9.00 a.m. so I could start discovering the city early.

What to see in Pécs?

First I visited the Synagogue. It is a relatively small one, inside it is not as beautiful as the Synagogue in Budapest (of course not, the one in Budapest is the second biggest in the World). There is an entrance fee, you can see the Synagogue inside then go up to see a small exhibition of the Life of the Jewish community in Pecs, including the holocaust too. The exhibiton is very well designed, you can see that they worked a lot on it.

The Szechenyi Square is the main Square, where the most important sights can be found: the Zsolnay Fountain, the Holy Trinity Statue, the Mosque of Pasha Qasim, the City Hall, the County Hall, the Nádor Hotel and the Statue of Janos Hunyadi.

The Zsolnay Fountain is amazing, it is one of the symbols of Pecs, the Zsolnay porcelains are World famous, it is a Hungaricum (like Herendi, Paprika…etc). This Secession style fountain was built in 1930. The ox heads are made of pyrogranite and the decorations are yellowish-green eosin.

If you are interested in Applied Arts, there is the Zsolnay Cultural Quarter not far from the center. The Zsolnay factory was established in Pécsin the 19th century by Miklós Zsolnay. You can go there on foot / by small trains. http://www.zsolnaynegyed.hu/ I didn’t visit it but I heard it is beautiful, you can find there a lot of Museums, Galleries, Concert Hall.

There are many mosques, tombs from the Turkish Era, the most famous is the Mosque of Pesha Quasim. The largest building from the time of the Turkish occupation in Hungary. The Turkish Occupation took 150 years from 1541, from the fall of Buda Castle. In Budapest you can find a lot of Turkish Baths/ Mosques too like the Rudas Bath.

It is a combination of the Turkish islam and Christian religion, outside and inside too, but it functions as a Catholic Church now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosque_of_Pasha_Qasim

Along the Jannus Pannonius Street you find houndreds of locks, what lovers put here.

Passing by the Csontvary Museum (he was a famous painter) you will find near the MOST IMPORTANT SIGHT of Pecs, the 1600-year-old Early Christian Necropolis.

Pécs was inhabited during the Roman times, the Romans called it SOPHIANAE. There are burial chambers from this time, part of them are decorated with pictures of biblical scenes and Early Christian symbols. It is a World Heritage site since 2000.

There is the Cella Septichora which is the more famous and there is the Mausoleum, which – I read – is a hidden treasure. I visited the Cella Septichora, the paintings are really great, just to know you have to climb a lot of stairs. Part of it is accessible with wheelchair but not the Whole (as far as I saw it). http://www.pecsorokseg.hu/index.php?nyelv=english

Going further you reach at the end of the street the Cathedral, which was built in the 19th century on ruins from the Middle Ages. Really imposant and the Square is full of beautiful buildings too.

There is an interesting statue, the Statue of the composer Ferenc Liszt looking at the Cathedral from a balcony.

The last thing I saw was the Jakovali Hassan Mosque, another Turkish monument. This is the only one that remained intact in Hungary together with its minaret.

The Ferencesek Street, the Apaca Sreet, the Jannus Pannonius Street and the Kaptalan Street are full of nicely renovated buildings. If you have time, take a walk there too.

Very short History of Pécs

Inhabited since Stone Age; 400 years long Roman territory – Sophianae (2. century BC); Christianity from 4. Century; city destroyed; 1009. Saint Stephan founded the Diocese of Pécs; 1367. first University, King Matthias – 15. century – Renaissance flourish; 16. century Turks – mosques, baths, gardens; end of 17. century Turks leave the city, destruction, 80% of the inhabitants killed, German settlers; 19. century coal mine, theatre, Zsolnay, train connection; from the 20. century – important educational ~ (high schools, universities), & cultural center (festivals, museums).

What I didn’t visit but if you have time you can:

Csontvary Museum – 19th-century symbolist painter http://www.museum.hu/muzeum/140/Janus_Pannonius_Muzeum_-_Csontvary_Muzeum

Vasarely Museum – abstract painter http://www.pecsimuzeumok.hu/index.php?m=1&s=2&id=96

Zsolnay Museum – http://www.iranypecs.hu/en/info/attractions/zsolnay-tradition/zsolnay-museum.html

TV tower – 200m-tall there is a nice view over Pécs from here.

Where to get information about Pécs before your visit?

These websites I have found really useful:

Pécs Tourism Webpage – official website of the City, sights, programs, restaurants….

Pécs Útisúgó – only in Hungarian

Tripadvisor – Things to do, Resturants, Hotels…etc

Wikipedia Pécs – History of Pécs, I will not copy paste…

The map is used from the Book Magyarország by Panoráma

I really enjoyed this visit, I wish I went there even earlier to see the beauty of Pécs.

  I hope you enjoy my pictures and you could find some useful information here about Pécs.

Vicky

Let’s not forget to eat some (partly) Hungarian dishes – e.g. Mákos Guba (bread pudding with poppy seeds) and Csülök (leg of pork)

Do you need more to visit PÉCS in Hungary? Turkish Mosques, Cemetery from the early Christian times, Baroque Palaces, a Cathedral, lots of Museums… I am an official Tour Guide  in Hungary since 2006 and I haven’t been to Pécs…
