From Pantheon to "pantiyon"

The Pantheon, Rome, Italy (Wikimedia Commons). Filipinos in far-flung towns and barrios oftentimes refer to tombstones as panteón*. I first heard the word from my paternal grandmother as a child. I was already steeped into books by then, so when I first heard the word from her, it immediately reminded me of the Pantheon, that famous Roman temple built between the 1st and 2nd centuries. For…

All Saints Day (Psalm 34:1-10, 22)

This day is meant to be an intentional way of not forgetting the people, friends, and family – as well as long-dead historical saints – who made a significant impact in our spiritual lives.

I will praise the Lord at all times;my mouth will continually praise him.I will boast in the Lord;let the oppressed hear and rejoice.Magnify the Lord with me.Let us praise his name together.I sought the Lord’s help and he answered me;he delivered me from all my fears.Look to him and be radiant;do not let your faces be ashamed.This oppressed man cried out and the Lord heard;he saved him from all…

Saint Andrew of Snohomish - The Blows of Life

If something hard happens to me and I somehow manage to get through it, does that experience make me stronger or better? No. I might become stronger or better before, during, or after the hard experience, but it is never the experience itself that makes me stronger or better, despite such prevalent sayings as “Adversity builds character,”and its many variants, or “What doesn’t kill you makes…

Top 5 Saints #2: Saint Michael the Archangel

Not a true #Saint for our #2 of this #AllSaintsDay list. Instead it is the #archangel #Michael who takes the spot. A remarkable #symbol of #Good, it's unconquerable nature in the face of #evil. #Michael is METAL AS FUCK! A lot of #Dore and a bit of #Satan

You knew I couldn’t make it through 6 articles about religion without some Gustave Doré, I’ve already written about how much I love his work. This is from Doré’s illustrations of the epic poem ‘Paradise Lost’ by John Milton. It tells the tale of the wars for the heavens, beginning with Lucifer’s rebellion against God. Here we see the result of that. The radiant Michael, top-centre, beams of light…

All Saints Day (Psalm 149)

Today we acknowledge and remember all the saints who have gone before us.

All Saints Day I, Wassily Kandinsky, 1911 Praise the Lord! Sing a new song to the Lord;    sing his praise in the meeting of his people. Let the Israelites be happy because of God, their Maker.    Let the people of Jerusalem rejoice because of their King.They should praise him with dancing.    They should sing praises to him with tambourines and harps.The Lord is pleased with his people;    he…

Блакитний Місяць в небі

Блакитний Місяць в небі

У ніч з 31 жовтня на 1 листопада в небі можна було спостерігати рідкісне явище, яке має назву “Блакитний Місяць” – друга повня за один календарний місяць. Саме через рідкість цього явища воно і отримало свою назву: вираз “Once in a Blue Moon” в англійській мові означає “Вкрай рідко, майже ніколи”.

В цьому році вперше з 1974 року Геловін (Halloween) або День всіх Святих (All Saints’ Day)…

Relics

For All Saints Day, St. John Cantius Catholic Church displayed their massive collection of saints relics, which are little slivers of bones or tresses of hair. It seems kind of a weird thing to put into a gold case, right?

In his homily (aka sermon) the priest explained how before he became Catholic, he did think this was odd.

Now he made us consider his story of the Cub’s winning the World…
