Siena, Italy
Perhaps the most spectacular cathedral I have ever seen, except for the Vatican, this church in Siena had a room with completely illuminated walls and ceiling called the Piccolomini Library. Enjoy.

What a lot of treasures of art all over the place in Italy.
On the other hand, we see throughout catholic Europe the same inscriptions and paintings. Excatly the illustration of who the “Nicolaïtes” were, to whom the Holy Spirit in the book of revelation said that He hated their works.
These nicolaites do not see any problem to call the head of the catholic church “Pontifex Maximus”, (the high priest) a title that by exclusion of anyone else belongs to Yeshua HaMashiah, as we can read it e.g. in the letter to the Hebrews.
Greeks made of the discipleship of Yeshua a philosophy, the Romans a religion bathing in luxurious buildings. Today many make of the discipleship of Christ a “musical commerce”.
Let us pray for the bride of Christ!!!!
Skip you are an artist to bring these buildings so beautifully in picture
I think Siena is more beautiful than the Vatican, more delicate and feminine IMO
Beautiful buildings belonging to blind leaders of the blind. May their eyes be opened before it is too late. Have vivid memories of Italy.

Hmmm
In my view, these two things are somewhat orthogonal to each other
(seeing beautiful architecture and theological correctness)
I could see the grandeur of God long before I knew anything about
The Hebrew World View
Thanks brother. As a grandmother and great grand mother i’ve learned i needed to go all directions at once. Try it. Keeps you youthful. Ha! You’ve got to love it!
What does the inscription with red background say at the far end of the ceiling in the top photo? I’m sure it’s Latin and I can make out the bottom row to say “PIVS III PONT MAX” which I assume is a reference to Pope Pius III, but I can quite make out the top row. Just curious.
