Forever rest in long grass, / dappled by the shade of trees the flowers are all wild ones now; / grief long forgotten caressed too many times by nature’s hand, / the letters of your name are lost yet your beauty lives on in the warmth of the sunlight; / your laughter on the wings of bees.

This is the mosaic from the floor of the church commonly called the “Basilica of Justinian” from a reference in Book VI of Procopius of Caesarea’s De aedifciis (on the buildings of Justinian). It was carefully removed and placed here into the site Mueseum. The central mosic is a Christian allegory of the soul. it begins in an acanthus from which vine branches spread out and aloft, intersecting four times in the centre to form four ellipses. / . / / . / / . / / . / / . / / . /

Beyond this doorway is a sort of bath in the shape of a cross. It was apparently used for baptisms but to me it looked rather sinister! Again, the workmanship you can see here is just amazing. The bricks would have all been cut by hand and they are so symetrical. And the intricate work around the door is just awesome. /

The ruins of the 12th century Kinneil church at the site of the medieval village of Kinneil, Falkirk district, Scotland. Only the west gable is left standing. The church was originally built in the 1100s, and by the 1400s was the focus of the village of Kinneil, which occupied much of the parkland to the south of the church. The main street through the village even reused the stone base of the (otherwise turf) Antonine Wall (the northermost frontier of the Roman Empire). During major redevelopment of Kinneil House in 1667, the village was cleared to allow a park to be established, the villagers mostly relocating to the rapidly growing town of Bo’ness a short distance away. Today, all that remains of the village and the villagers are the grave slabs around the ruin of the church (and others kept in the vault of the palace of Kinneil House). The church itself continued to be used as a chapel by the Hamilton family until 1745, when it was accidentally burned down by troops based in it to guard Kinneil House during the Jacobite Uprising.

The Church of Ease, St. Helena Island, SC This is a view of the remains of a old African American church built on St. Helena Island.

Located near Moncks Corner, South Carolina are the ruins of Biggin Church. The church was founded at its present location around 1711. Notable South Carolinians such as Henry Laurens attended the church. Several times Biggin Church has been burned either by forest fire or at the hands of the British Army. During the American Revolution the church was used to store ammunition. Currently all that stands of the church are two walls. A cemetary surrounds the church.

Just to the south of Dunfermline’s High Street lies one of Scotland’s most unusual churches. The Abbey Church of Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland is two very distinct churches, joined in the middle. The effect is unexpected but attractive. The Abbey Church, as the name suggests, was the church serving Dunfermline Abbey. A church probably already existed on this site in 1070, when King Malcolm III married Queen Margaret. Margaret liked Dunfermline so much she set up a Benedictine foundation here. This was later transformed by her son King David I into what was intended to become the most important abbey in Scotland. Work was started in 1128 on the Abbey Church and the nave still survives as the western half of the building on view today. Dunfermline was renowned as the burial place of many Scottish Kings and Queens. The first was Queen Margaret (later St Margaret) in 1093, and the last Royal internment was Robert, the infant son of James VI and Anne of Denmark, in 1602. The most famous burial, and certainly most celebrated, was Robert the Bruce. He was buried in Dunfermline Abbey in 1329, minus his heart, which was taken in a lead casket on a posthumous visit to the Holy Land before being buried at Melrose Abbey. During the building of the new Abbey Church in 1819 bones believed to be those of Robert the Bruce, because of their position and because of a cut breastbone (to allow the removal of his heart), were discovered. Robert was reinterred in the centre of the new Abbey Church, 560 years after his death. His grave now lies under the magnificent pulpit covered by a large brass grave marker. And to celebrate his presence the words “KING ROBERT THE BRUCE” were formed with large stone lettering around the four sides of the crown of the tower. Subtle it isn’t, but striking it most certainly is. Famous Births, Marriages, & Burials / Saint Margaret of Scotland was buried here in 1093; on 19 June 1250 following her Canonization her remains were disinterred and placed in a reliquary at the high altar. Her husband, Malcolm III of Scotland remains were also disinterred, and buried next to Margaret. Both Duncan II of Scotland 1094, and his wife Ethelreda, were buried here Edgar of Scotland was buried here in 1107 Both Alexander I of Scotland 1124, and his queen Sybilla de Normandy 1122, were buried here David I of Scotland was buried here (1153) along with his queen Maud, Countess of Huntingdon (1130) Malcolm IV of Scotland was buried here in 1165 Alexander III of Scotland (1286), was buried here, with his first wife Margaret of England (1275) and their sons David of Scotland (1281) and Alexander of Scotland (1284) Elizabeth de Burgh, wife of Robert I of Scotland, was buried here in 1327 Robert the Bruce was buried, in 1329 Matilda of Scotland, daughter of Robert I of Scotland, was buried here in 1353 Anabella Drummond, wife of Robert III and mother of James I was buried here in 1401 Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany was buried here in 1420 Birthplace, in 1600, of Charles I, the last British monarch born in Scotland. David Lindsay, 1st Lord Balcarres, son of John Lindsay of Balcarres, Lord Menmuir and father of Alexander Lindsay, 1st Earl of Balcarres, was married here in 1611 James Bruce (bishop) Camera: Canon EOS 450D BEST VIEWED LARGER Related shots can be found at: Dunfermline.

The Basilica of Sant’Eufemia (Cathedral), was once preceded by a quadri-portico, one of the columns of which is now in the centre of the Patriarch’s Square. The current appearance of the church dates from the reconstruction by Fra Elia (579), with a simple hut façade and a bell tower (15th century) on the right side, which is surmounted by a statue portraying St. Michael and known as the Anzolo (1462). The interior has a nave and two aisles. The main point of interest is the mosaic pavement from the 6th century, restored in 1946-48. / Grado is a town in the north-eastern Italian region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, located on a peninsula of the Adriatic Sea between Venice and Trieste. Once mainly a fishing center, today it is a popular tourist destination, known commonly as L’Isola del Sole (“The Sunny Island”), also famous because it is also a spa town; together with Marano Lagunare, it is the center of a lagoon, which is famous for its uncontaminated nature.
