A stream of white light splashes from the sky to the funeral pyre. A ringing sound fills everything around. It is as if billions of metal particles are sprinkled on a steel shield.

Throughout history, people have sought to improve society by reducing suffering, eliminating disease or enhancing desirable qualities in their children. But this wish goes hand in hand with the desire to impose control over who can marry, who can procreate and who is permitted to live.

It was enshrined in a political movement that bastardised science, and for sixty years enjoyed bipartisan and huge popular support. ... |

Dürer’s woodcuts astonish in scale as much as detail. Through works such as Apocalypse and ... |

Пилигрим ставаш, си и оставаш... Великият Гьоте казва, че съзнанието на Европа се е родило в пилигримството. Тъкмо пилигримите са помогнали за оформяне на географията на спасението: техните маршрути, техните връзки и открития са създали географска карта на свещеното, а пешеходното пилигримство до Сантяго де Компостела може да се преживее и като дълга медитация върху Европа. Чрез него ценности, едновременно християнски и човешки, като достойнство на човешката личност, чувство за справедливост и свобода, стремеж към труд, предприемачески дух, любов към семейството и уважение към живота, толерантност и желание за мир, ... |
