The First Sunday in Advent












These caverns are numberless
I have flown through them all
In mystagogia
          
                                   Jerusalem Syndrome
                                          Stephen Ronan










 








Advent as imagined
in the first of four Roman Catholic churches 
where the Flaneur says his prayers
and receives the Sacraments








   The Cathedral of Christ the Light


These were among my first images captured with a new camera last year. I have been waiting for Advent to post them at last, them like a child awaiting Christmas Day.
All of the images were made the same day except for the above shot added for exposition.









 

 Oh thee of little faith,
I am immune to your consultations







 Bishop's seat







 Advent wreath on a pedestal in mid aisle















Crucifix and Tree













Organ airs arabesque
Like scented smoke








 On another level







 The Inner Sanctum







 Saint Patrick of Eire
He made Saint Ronan a bishop,
Ronan cursed Sweeney and met Saint Judas on an iceberg,
He evangelized the Scotland,
 His remains are at L'eclise Saint-Ronan de Locronan
Paintings by native son Yves Tanguy
Decorate its Surrealist rectory








 Anteroom in Eternity












 May the Peace of the Lord be with you










 That we will rest with Him in heaven











 And thereby take comfort in this world
























December 2013
