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.

note（ノート）Suzanne Vega 『Solitude Standing (孤独-ひとり-)』〜「Tom's Diner」 カテドラル･カスィ(th -θ-)ドラル〜｜有須悟史@『根無し草のつれづれ note版』何でも去る4月1日はスザンヌ･ヴェガの2ndアルバム『孤独(Solitude Standing)』のリリースから38周年だったそうで。 FBのタイムライン上に表示される入会済みのグループにSuzanne Vegaの『Solitude Standing』の中で好きな曲は？というような質問が投稿されていた。欧米との時差とFBのアルゴリズムの関係で日本時間より少し遅れて、それを見て答えてみた、「ルカ」と「トムズ･ダイナー」と。 「トムズ･ダイナー」は夜のカフェで夜を明かし、明るくなるまで、目に写る他の人々の様子一晩を描写した楽曲である。 ちゃんとメロディにはのせているが、ポエトリー･リーデ

#Doorsday's child has far to go ... all the way to #Córdoba in fact.

This is a lovely old #door from the Mosque-Cathedral or #Mezquita with details of #MoorishArchitecture. In fact, it's one of the oldest surviving gates of the former mosque! The door's decoration dates back to 855 when it was known as Bab al-Wuzara ("Viziers' Gate"). Lots of Al-Andalus state officials used to enter the mosque here. The Great Mosque of Córdoba was converted into a Catholic #cathedral in the 13th century. It's a World Heritage Site since 1984.

A weathered stone facade, likely part of a historic building such as the Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba, dominates the frame. The stonework is a light beige, showing significant signs of age and erosion, with varied textures and uneven surfaces. A prominent horseshoe archway, characteristic of Moorish architecture, frames a set of aged, dark metal double doors. The arch is outlined in a lighter stone and features alternating red and white voussoirs. Above the archway, there is a rectangular panel with intricate, though worn, carvings. Flanking the central archway are sections of the stone wall with further decorative elements, including what appear to be blocked-up windows or niches with geometric patterns. The top of the facade is crenellated, with a series of rectangular merlons against a partly cloudy blue sky. The ground in front of the facade is paved with light-coloured stone slabs, showing some signs of wear.

Been inspired to make a little more progress on the #Minecraft #cathedral we're building.

It is based loosely on the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de #Chartres including the labyrinth which @solcita designed and rendered. The build was my primary coping mechanism in the earlier part of the pandemic and as spoons allow, @solcita and I continue on it just as the pandemic continues.

It's worth noting that this world is a Survival world, and all of the diorite used to construct this cathedral is mined by hand. The floor is made of half-block and lit at intervals from beneath with torches lending to the criss-cross pattern visible. This is in part to prevent the spawning of mobs.

I wanted the impossible forever project, and it has not disappointed. 🙂

The view is from the top of a partially constructed column near the vault looking down at the floor and seeing 7 columns and arches stretch into the distance. Visible on the floor is the Chartres-style labyrinth rendered square befitting Minecraft.

The Triforium are visible as well as the Clerestory windows and a bit of the vaulting. Starry night sky is visible through the windows.

Mentally, i'm here. Physically sitze ich auf meiner Couch und frage mich ob #Flashes was kann und ob ich wirklich noch ein insta-like Social Network brauche und ob ich mich nicht einfach für immer ausloggen sollte (bis mir einfällt dass ich in der medienbranche arbeite und 100% meiner arbeit online stattfindet) - schade. jedenfalls ist das mein Lieblingsbild aus meinem Urlaub und die Kathedrale von Porto war das Highlight, trotz der Tourimassen, mit denen ich im März nicht gerechnet hatte: Ein Foto dieser Kathedrale war vor ca. 7 Jahren der Grund, wieso Porto auf meine Travel-Bucket-Liste kam.
