Stunning Medieval Mosaic Floors of the Duomo Di Siena Are Revealed Only Twice a Year
Known in English as Siena Cathedral, the incredible Gothic masterpiece is richly decorated down to the dirt. Its incredible mosaic floor—largely created between 1370 and 1550 but not strictly finished until the 19th century—is only revealed twice a year, but the 56 marble inlay panels are a site to behold.

From
Dear Lord, when I get to Heaven
Please let me bring my man
When he comes, tell me that you'll let him in
Father, tell me if you can
To
Do you think about Heaven? Oh-oh
Do you think about me?
My pastor told me
"When you leave, all you take
Uh-huh, is your memories"

Pannonhalma, Hungary
I was born a Catholic but I'm not a religious person. I used to think that the comforting feeling I got upon entering a church was God's presence, but I think I'm just amazed that people can be so dark and unholy yet create things that are so powerful and gorgeous. Perhaps it is God, how would I know, but I weep with joy just the same when I see a herd of wild horses run or thunder and lightning breaking through the skies.
