Moravian Brethren Mission House or Herrnhut House (Danish: Herrnhuthuset) is a historical building in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, established in 1747 from timber shipped to the United Brethren from the Netherlands. It was the centre of the Moravian Brethren Mission in Greenland and the missionaries operated across the west coast of Greenland from this building. Greenlander converts were reported saying, "If it can be so beautiful here on Earth, how wonderful must it not be in Heaven."]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/moravian-brethren-mission-house/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/moravian-brethren-mission-house/ Mon, 21 Jan 2013 14:18:20 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/moravian-brethren-mission-house/ 64.16898300 -51.74505800 <![CDATA[Green-Wood Chapel]]>

Sikh Temple shooting (August 5, 2012)
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: milwhcky
@ 2012-08-05 10:37:16
As a group of worshipers was preparing for that morning's services, Wade Michael Page opened fire at this Sikh Temple (Gurdwara), killing six people. The victims included five men and one woman ranging in age from 39 to 84. Fortunately, most of the people planning on attending the services had not yet arrived when the shooting began.

Oak Creek police lieutenant Brian Murphy was the first officer on the scene and was ambushed by Page in the parking lot, suffering nine gunshot wounds from close range. Moments later, Page was wounded by another police officer before turning the gun on himself. Murphy survived his wounds after undergoing several hours of surgery.

Investigators have treated the incident as a hate crime. Page was an outspoken white supremacist and performed with a few neo-Nazi rock bands. He served in the US Army from 1992-98 before being given a less-than-honorable discharge. He moved to the nearby Milwaukee suburb of Cudahy weeks before the shooting.

This temple was built in 2007. It is one of two in the Milwaukee metro area that serves about 3,000 Sikhs who live in the region.]]>

The church of St. Nicholas in Mavrovo, Macedonia was built in 1850 and stood for a 153 years until it was decided an artificial lake was needed in the village. At one point the church was fully submerged, but it keeps rising again, especially in summer with the droughts of the 21st century.

Aquarian Tabernacle Church

By: jbottero
@ 2012-07-29 14:14:02
The Aquarian Tabernacle Church, abbreviated as ATC, is a Wiccan church located along the Skykomish river in Index, Washington and is considered the first Wiccan church with full legal status and recognition by major governments, the United States, Canada and Australia. In addition to being the only Wiccan church with 'Umbrella Affiliate Tax Exemption", the ATC is also the mother entity of Spiral Scouts, and the Woolston-Steen Theological Seminary; the first Wiccan college with state recognition to award legal degrees in Wiccan Ministry. The ATC is also the forerunner in Pagan Prison Ministries, with affiliated churches in Colorado obtaining the right to receive charitable donations, from government employees, through government employer charity programs.

Founded as a church by Pete "Pathfinder" Davis, the current archpriest, in 1979, the church is based on British Traditional Wicca. The purpose of the ATC has forever been to provide services to the larger Pagan (or Neopagan) community, such as open worship, festivals, prison ministries, affiliate church support, and a lending library. The policy of open attendance assists this goal. Festivals include Hekate's Sickle Festival (Samhain) and Spring Mysteries (a recreation of the Eleusinian Mysteries). In 2002, Raymond Buckland wrote that "the ATC has grown by leaps and bounds to become one of the most respected Wiccan institutions in the country, if not the world." Now in its 33rd year (2012), the current Archpriestess Belladonna Laveau, and retired Archpriest Pete "Pathfinder" Davis now holds emeritus status. The Archpriest position is currently vacant.

The Aquarian Tabernacle Church is primarily responsible for spearheading the successful campaign for official recognition of Wicca in the United States military.

Terry Jones, the pastor of a tiny Gainesville church refused to heed pleas from Gen. David Petraeus, the U.S. commander in Afghanistan, and religious leaders to abandon plans to mark Saturday's anniversary of the 9/11 attacks with a bonfire fueled by 200 copies of the Quran, the Islamic holy book.

Known for his fiery anti-Islam diatribes, Pastor Terry Jones of the 50-member Dove World Outreach Center told The Associated Press he was praying over his decision, though other church members said they believed the burning would be destroying evil. (...)

Meiji Shrine, located in Shibuya, Tokyo, is the Shinto shrine that is dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his wife, Empress Shōken. When Emperor Meiji died in 1912 and Empress Shōken in 1914, the Japanese people wished to pay their respects to the two influential Japanese figures. It was for this reason that Meiji Shrine was constructed and their souls enshrined on November 1, 1920.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/meiji-shrine/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/meiji-shrine/ Mon, 11 Jan 2010 13:19:10 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/meiji-shrine/ 35.67605841 139.69964701 <![CDATA[Sensō-ji (Asakura Kannon Temple)]]>

Deer Island is one of the Thousand Islands. It lies between the United States and Canada, close to Alexandria Bay, New York. It is owned entirely by the Russell Trust Association and is used as a Skull and Bones retreat.

Some journalists, Alex Jones included, have suggested that Deer Island plays host annually to regular meetings and initiation rites of the Skull and Bones society, and that the island is historically significant for being prominent in truther theories concerning the New World Order and freemason lore. Despite conspiracy theories that hypothesize the opposite, since the island sits on almost exactly the international boundary line separating Canada and the USA, it is not in fact lawless but under authority of the US Coast Guard.

The Sikh Gurdwara or Sikh Gurdwara - San Jose (a Gurdwara is the Sikh place of worship) was founded in San Jose, California, USA in 1985 by leaders of the then-rapidly growing Santa Clara Valley Sikh community. Initially they met in a rented community center, but soon bought a small building in east San Jose. After buying nearby land in the early 1990s, they decided it would be too expensive to build in the city limits, so they sold that land and bought a larger property further east. The first phase of the project of almost 20,000 square feet (1,900 m2) was completed in 2004. When the second phase is completed, the project will be over 90,000 square feet (8,400 m2).

As in all the solar temples, "The Ecclesia" portal is facing east (the rising sun). In front of the portal stand two palm trees. The portal is constituted by a triangle structure upon two round columns (pilasters), containing in the centre an equilateral triangle with the 'All-seeing-eye'. The columns fuse Greek and Roman styles, each one with a capital crowned by a finial globe. The round 12-sided building architecture is composed by round arches and narrow round inward windows. Its great dome is composed by a cupola crowned by a golden globe with a finial of lights. The inner portal and the Temple's interior is ornamented with alchemical and astrological symbols. It is a solar temple dedicated to the coming Age of Aquarius.

Its name comes from the Russian word uspenie, which denotes the Dormition.

The Turku Cathedral is a Evangelical Lutheran cathedral in Turku, Finland. It is the seat of The Archdiocese of Turku.
The church was originally built out of wood in the late 13th century, and was dedicated as the main cathedral of Finland in 1300, the seat of the bishop of Turku. The church was badly damaged during the Great Fire of Turku in 1827, and was rebuilt to a great extent afterwards.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/turku-cathedral/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/turku-cathedral/ Mon, 18 Feb 2008 04:20:13 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/turku-cathedral/ 60.45287000 22.27838800 <![CDATA[The Erechtheum]]>

The Erechtheum, Greek: Έρέχθειον Erechtheion. The temple as seen today was built between 421 and 407 BCE. Its architect may have been Mnesicles, and it derived its name from a shrine dedicated to the legendary Greek hero Erichthonius. Some have suggested that it may have been built in honour of the legendary king Erechtheus, who is said to have been buried nearby. Erechtheus and Erichthonius were often syncretized. It is believed to have been a replacement for an older temple destroyed by the Persians in 480 BCE.
The need to preserve multiple adjacent sacred precincts likely explains the complex design. The main structure consists of up to four compartments, the largest being the east cella, with an Ionic portico on its east end. Other current thinking would have the entire interior at the lower level and the East porch used for access to the great altar of Athena Polias via a balcony and stair and also as a public viewing platform.
