Artists commissioned by churches or any religion was interesting in that they made deities in the image of whoever was paying. Jesus turn Italian, so many different renderings of buda and kirsna. OK. My spell check just went nuts. I guess the powers that be still control us visually. Lol

Simple; yet perhaps the best of all, just some flowers in the window of an old English church. The Reformation made the parish churches here with their cool stone, lack of ornament and plain white walls ideal for the florist.

I'm not religious but I love to see beautiful cathedrals and the stained glass in churches.

Here are some photos I took of Salisbury Cathedral (Wiltshire, England) a couple of months ago. The church is one of the leading examples of Early English architecture. It has a tall spire and a large cloister. It contains a clock which is among the oldest working clocks in the world (about AD 1386), and has the best surviving of the four original copies of Magna Carta.

Church in cave on the island of Crete.
