Life and Death

Good Friday

(from the senses pious, holy of the word "good"), is a religious holiday observed primarily by Christians commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. The holiday is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday, and may coincide with the Jewish observance of Passover. It is also known as Holy Friday, Great Friday or Easter Friday, though the latter normally refers to the Friday in Easter week.

Based on the details of the Canonical gospels, the Crucifixion of Jesus was most probably on a Friday. The estimated year of Good Friday is AD 33, by two different groups, and originally as AD 34 by Isaac Newton via the differences between the Biblical and Julian calendars and the crescent of the moon. A third method, using a completely different astronomical approach based on a lunar Crucifixion darkness and eclipse model (consistent with Apostle Peter's reference to a "moon of blood" in Acts 2:20) points to Friday, 3 April AD 33.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today - I hope you all will have some great days off!

And thanks for all the comments to my last post.

Hi my friends,

I have to say THANK YOU for all the kind comments to my post one day ago. I appreciate every single one. I want also say thanks for your loyalty to my blog over the year and in the last 4 years, since I'm now blogging. I have enjoyed your friendship very much. I loved to see new faces visiting and of course, I'm sad about those who never came back again. But that's how life works. People come and people go - that's fine with me. :))

This photo above is connected to the Christmas spirit what we all are in in these days, some of us are more involved, some of us less. And Christmas is coming fast... every years it seems for me, Christmas was just yesterday :))

I wish you all a great time and stay warm. It's warming up again in Florida, finally!!! yeah....!
Have a wonderful Friday and a great coming weekend.
~Susanne

Ask yourself....

Captured in Silver City, New Mexico

Ask yourself whether the dream of heaven and greatness should be waiting for us in our graves - or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth.
Ayn Rand

Hi my friends,
I hope you all stay warm and protected from the cold temperatures we have just now! Yesterday I wore the first time my winter coat and the warm closed shoes - no flip-flops anymore :)) But, for weekend it should be warmer again, the weather man says that - I hope he will be right!

I know, Christmas is just around the corner - kids can barely wait and we adults have still so much to do, we are busy like crazy with running around for the right gift. Take some time in between your rushes to relax, enjoy good music or read that book you've always wanted to read. Well.. o.k. I sound like a life coach now... I will stop my preaching... You know the best, what's good for you, right? :))

Happy Holidays.
~Susanne

Perhaps....

Perhaps it is because cats do not live by human patterns, do not fit themselves into prescribed behavior, that they are so united to creative people.

On the Way to Paradise....

If a man could pass through Paradise in a dream, and have a flower presented to him as a pledge that his soul had really been there, and if he found that flower in his hand when he awake - Aye, what then?
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

My Wordless Sunday #39

The Spanish Colonial Revival Style

The Spanish Colonial Revival Style 

was a United States architectural stylistic movement that came about in the early 20th century, starting in California and Florida as a regional expression related to history, environment, and nostalgia. The Spanish Colonial Revival Style was also influenced by the opening of the Panama Canal and the overwhelming success of the novel Ramona set in Alta California. Based on the Spanish Colonial architecture from the Spanish colonization of the Americas, the Spanish Colonial Revival style updated these forms and detailing for a new century and culture.

The Panama-California Exposition of 1915 in San Diego, with lead architect Bertram Goodhue, is credited with creating national attention for the aesthetic popularity of this style.

The Spanish Colonial Revival movement enjoyed its greatest popularity between 1915 and 1931 and was most often exhibited in single-level detached houses and small commercial buildings.

Hi my friends,

I love these Spanish style architectures down here in Florida.

 The photograph was made in the pretty picturesque Village of Cocoa at the Space Coast. 

I love that place :))
