Cappadocia Apple Church

Cappadocia Apple Church

 Apple Church is a spectacular church in Cappadocia, Turkey, rich in history. With its architecture and bewildering frescos, Apple Church is one of the artistically most advanced churches. The construction of this edifice dates back to the 11th century just like the other churches nearby like the resembling Sandal Church and Dark Church. The building is thought to be part of a larger monastery or an abbey at the epoch.

 The Apple Church principally features eye-catching frescos on its meticulously curved walls and nine domes propped up on four main pillars. The frescos and paintings generally depict Jesus’ last supper, his crucifixion, burial, ascension to heaven, and many more related things that bear a theological value. Even though the facade has been eroded, and its dyes flaked away a long time ago, the Church reached the present day by resisting the malignant effects of the external world.


 

 The historic Church is around 11 km(7 miles) east of Nevşehir, in the vicinity of some other historic monuments, and natural beauties such as Love Valley, Pigeon Valley, and the fairy chimneys of Three Beauties. Located only one kilometer Southeast of Göreme downtown, you may easily visit this astonishing sanctuary through Müze Caddesi(Street of Museum).

Thank you for reading.

Ma Première Expérience de Plongée Sous-marine

Ma Première Expérience de Plongée Sous-marine     Il y a quelques jours, j'ai décidé de réaliser une expérience qui avait resté comme une velléité depuis mon arrivée à la province d'Antalya: la plongée sous-marine. J'en ai mentionné quand je parlais avec mon ami et il a accepté mon invitation avec hésitation, présentant quelques réserves au sujet de notre gestion de temps et de la disponibilité de moyens de transport, ce qui constituait une véritable pierre d'achoppement. De toute façon, il a enfin cédé à mon instante insistance et accepté d'entreprendre cette petite et inusuelle aventure avec moi. Avec un rabais extravagant de fin de saison, nous allions plonger pour seulement 900 lires turques, c'est-à-dire, 23 euros. Pourtant, l'école de plongée se trouvait dans le centre-ville, plus précisément à Lara, et nous vivions à Kadriye, une petite ville à 40 kilomètres d'Antalya, assez isolée et loin de la vie bouillante des grands centres touristiques de la...

Gothic Architecture

 Gothic Architecture Salisbury Cathedral built in the 13th century in the UK  With regards to the Carolingian Renaissance that fostered architectural and artistic innovations under the reign of Charlemagne, people have a misconception that a lingering silence prevailed thereafter until the ignition of the Renaissance as such. This belief is so ingrained that almost every one of us has an at least slightly negative impression of the Medieval Ages.  Nevertheless, nothing could be further from the truth, because the Medieval Ages were not as dark as depicted by Romantic artists of the 19th century, but hectic and dynamic both in art and science. Petty and sporadic scientific innovations and artistic currents probably paved the way for the advent of the Renaissance proper. These impulsions for authentic manifestations of aesthetic novelty did not certainly exclude architecture as it goes without saying. In particular, there was an architectural style that emanated from Romane...

Transgenderism

Transgenderism   It might be one of the most controversial essays I'll ever pen; nonetheless, I feel obliged to voice my own opinions thereupon. It is extremely arduous to put up with the brazenly loosening morality of the contemporary world for me and I am not even a religious person, who would be putting forward right away accusations of sacrilege and immorality against whoever pleads for 'the New World Order' with a rainbow banner. In these circumstances, I cannot even imagine an Evangelist or a Muslim's anguish. By the way, there is, to my own individual and faulty judgment, the probability that religions have engendered this backlash with their indomitable insistence on an anti-LGBTQ+ agenda. It is purely my own perception and it might be wrong. Notwithstanding its unreliable foundation which is my own judgment, I consider this correlation to be empirically observable and provable when investigated on a sociological and historical scale as well as on a scientific o...
