KNOCKING ON HEAVEN'S DOOR

This church tower can be seen from many parts of the city. For a relatively new building, it is quite imposing;reaching up to the heavens toward the hand of God. It also serves as a landmark for mariners. It is one the few distinctive buildings on shore affording a reference point enabling boaters to find their way back to port. So, it really enables people to navigate on land, at sea, or in life.

EASTER SUNDAY

A happy Easter to all you who drop by today and everyday. Shalom, Peace, enjoy today!

SUNDAY MORNING

If it's Sunday, it must be another shot of a church. The neighborhood where I grew up in the Midwest, had one on every corner:sometimes more. They are more spread out today.

SUNDAY MORNING

Happened upon this vista while shooting something else. I thought it was symbolic, not unlike last Sunday's contribution.

SUNDAY MORNING

I always liked the entrance to this church. There is something very symbolic about the small doors and it's location beneath the cross. 

SAINT DEMETRIOS

This is a follow-up to yesterday's post. This is a full shot of the back of St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church. It really is a beautiful building from this direction more so than from the front. The festival last night was filled with good food, lots of dancing, and constant shouts of OPA!

MURAL

Churches have historically been the repository of great art. There are countless examples in DAILY PHOTO. The one downside is that they are usually inside the church. This particular mural is located outside. I like the way that JESUS appears to be balancing on the post. There is a lot of symbolism there if you care to indulge. This is a Greek Orthodox Church that happens to be having their winter festival this weekend. Guess who is keeping an eye on the events? Opa!
