A few nice Religion images I found:

THREE PRIESTS AND ONE UMBRELLA IN OLD JAPAN -- or, High Fashion Meets the World of Religion

Religion


Image by Okinawa Soba

This ca.1892-95 shot by T. ENAMI is a classic. TRAVELOGUE MAESTRO Burton Holmes also loved the shot, and included it as one of over 20 T. Enami views used to illustrate the JAPAN section of his multi-volume TRAVELOGUE book sets. Holmes eventually asked Enami to hand color many of the slides used for Holmes lecture series around the world.

The small shrine seen at the right of the image reminds me of a story told by YUKICHI FUKUZAWA, the man now pictured on the highest denomination 10,000 yen banknotes of Japan. He related the following story in his Japanese Autobiography, which I loosely paraphrase ....

When he was young, he watched the religious and superstitious people of his town daily worshiping the "Sacred Stones" erected at some ancient shrine they had. One night, he snuck in and tossed all of the sacred stones out of the shrine, and replaced them with stones of his own that he had picked up off the ground here and there. He would later go by and watch the people praying there and think, "Those Fools. They are worshiping my Rocks!"


Here's another slide version from Enami using a different matte : www.flickr.com/photos/24443965@N08/3286611320/

Santa Maria del Pi, Barcelona
Secondo una tradizione non documentata, riconosciuta però da alcuni storici, già dal 413 esisteva una piccola chiesa paleocristiana nel luogo dove oggi sorge questa cattedrale.
