#orthodox architecture

Concerned with the survival of unique Ukrainian architecture under constant russian bombing, ukrainian company Skeiron has launched a #SaveUkrainianHeritage project. They 3D scan culture monuments in order to preserve them, at least digitally, if the worst comes true. Asides from this utilitary use, the technology will also be helpful with monitoring the condition of the monuments over time.

While the beautiful church shown on the pictures - Saint Sophia Cathedral - has not yet been uploaded on their site, you can still have a virtual tour of the monuments they have already scanned here

And if you find this initiative worth supporting, please consider donating! (scroll to the bottom of the page for the relevant links in english)

The Holy Church of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary in Athens. A beautiful Orthodox Church. Took some time to pray before leaving this wonderful place of Christian Architecture.

"Although I have completely subjected myself to sin and am unworthy of heaven, of earth and of this passing life, even though I am a slave to delights and have disgraced Your image, yet I still do not lose hope in salvation, wretched as I am, for You have made and fashioned me. I place my hope in Your boundless mercy and approach You."

~St. Basil

al-jazzar mosque in acre, palestine. completed in 1781, it was named for the ottoman governor ahmad pasha al-jazzar - also known as "the butcher" for his defeat of napoleon bonaparte at the siege of acre in 1799.

#palestine #architecture #interior #worship #muslim #my posts #he was also the 'local ruler' mentioned in my post on the greek orthodox church of the annunciation in nazareth #also he was bosnian. balkanites in the middle east go way back #some me-an arab muslims may have bosnian/albanian surnames or surnames indicating a bosnian/albanian ancestor #it was an ottoman thing #which surnames stick is generally pretty disparate in ethnically mixed populations #white americans r the same. could have a german surname but the german ancestor came in the 1700s
