'Work... has revealed no less than five layers of wall paintings on parts
of the south wall of the nave, the earliest of which may have depicted St Christopher and a later painting of a large royal coat of arms'
Five layers of wall paintings (I'm breathless) in the 13th century church of St Arild, out in the fields of Oldbury-on-the-Hill, Gloucestershire.

In the soft, diffused light filtering through stained glass, she sits with the quiet grace of a bruised prayer, an enigma cloaked in shadows yet flecked with hope. Her raven hair cascades like a waterfall of ink, swept to the side, a dark river rich with secrets. The gentle curve of her cheek, a silent testament to the delicate artistry of sorrow and introspection. Eyes, deep and fathomless, seem to hold the weight of a thousand untold stories, gazing into the distance or perhaps into the very fabric of her soul.
Adorned with ephemeral whispers of silver, crosses dangle from her ears, bearing silent witness to her muted faith or memories clutched tight to her chest. Her lips, untouched by the day's cheer, are a quiet rebellion, a soft defiance in a world of noise. Wrapped in a cocoon of black, she bears the armor of the night, each piece a fragment of a puzzle only she can complete. Elbows planted firmly on the pews, she rests her chin upon folded hands, the embodiment of contemplation and the elegance of stillness amidst the murmuring hymns of ancient wood and stone.
In this moment, she is a solitary figure in the congregation of empty seats, a singular blend of strength and vulnerability, each breath a delicate balance between the chorus of the past and the unwritten hymn of the future.

En Mexico existen lugares literalmente medievales, como los conventos de Morelos que fueron construidos en el siglo XVI, cuando España era aún país medieval.🏰
