James Alipius Goold, born in Ireland, was the first archbishop of Melbourne. He began building St Patrick’s church in 1850 but decided not to proceed when gold was discovered in Melbourne as they would now need a bigger cathedral for the large population. He contacted William Wilkinson Wardell, an English architect, to design St Patrick’s cathedral. Archbishop Goold died six months before the cathedral was finished.

Beatty compares Montag to Icarus because they both started to take off on their own. Beatty is comparing society to Icarus's father, and because Montag is starting to think there is something better out there, beyond flying where he has been told, he is heading for catastrophe. The comparison shows that Beatty thinks Montag is making foolish choices, that by reading books he will end up unhappy and with problems, in a way that can't be fixed, just like Icarus. In all, the comparison Beatty makes between Montag and Icarus is an effective way for Beatty to make his point clear: by reading and keeping books, Montag has set a course for disaster, parallel to Icarus when he neglected to follow his father's directions.

This was done because Soviet leader Joseph Stalin planned to replace it with a new 315 meter-high Palace of Soviets that was to house the country’s legislature. That palace was never built due to the Second World War, and once the Soviet Union was dissolved, the current church
“You can't judge an album by a single song; it's like judging a book by only reading a single chapter” Trevor Rabin. Although the short stories Cathedral and A Rose for Emily have completely different plots, they both have morals that are described in this quote. Cathedral follows around a blind man named Robert visiting an old friend and her husband, who does not care for the Robert. A Rose for Emily is about Emily, a woman who is perceived as a local oddity but soon the townspeople realize she is not just odd, but also a little bit crazy. Both Emily from the short story, A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner, and Robert from Cathedral by Raymond Carver, portray characters that become of the targets of premature assumptions, but

The grand structure that resides in present day Germany was built in honor the Virgin Mary. The site was used for many important religious and public occasions, for example the king of Germany held his coronation in the Chapel. The site had been continued to be strongly linked to Charlemagne through more than his name, as Otto III ordered his remains to be placed there in honor of him and his accomplishments. Essentially, although the Palace is seen under a more political light than Hagia Sophia, both structures have histories deeply rooted in the Christian religion. Another strong similarity stands in the fact that their nations leaders worked hard to preserve and then rebuild the structures when disaster
The Way of the Cross won an art prize at the World Expo 1893 in Chicago. The Pieta is three times bigger than that of Michelangelo. A John Paul II 's bust is located at the rear of the cathedral to commemorate his visit to New York in 1979.

06 Activity 06 I chose to learn and write about the breakthrough design and construction Filippo Brunelleschi accomplished on the Florence Cathedral. In 1296 The City of Florence began construction of a Cathedral that would represent their city. Hoping to have a better cathedral than their enemy Milan, they spent a great deal of money. For decades, the cathedral was complete except for the hole in the roof, 150 feet wide. Some of their biggest problems were, getting enough wood from the local forest to make the scaffold to do the work, and getting enough money to pay for the hundreds of workers and supplies just for the scaffolding.
In the 608, the Pantheon was converted to a Christian church when Byzantine Emperor Phocas offered it to the Pope as a gift. While it is now officially Saint Mary of the Martyrs, the Pantheon will always be the Pantheon. Inside are the tombs of several worthy Italians, including Raphael and Italian King Vittorio Emanuele II, great unifier of Italy, and his son Umberto I. The structure was sacked relatively little with respect to the rest of the city, although ironically, in 1628, Pope Urban allowed Bernini to strip the bronze from the Portico and melt it down for his Baldacchio above the alter of Saint Peter 's.
In Raymond Cavers “Cathedral” the idea of vision, at first is that Robert is a blind man, he physically cannot see, and the narrator is bothered by that. But as the story progresses we realize that the idea of vision has a deeper meaning then we first interpreted. Although the narrator is physically able to see he his blind mentally and spiritually. Even though Robert is truly blind physically it seems as if the narrator is more blind then Robert.
Glancing at the Cathedral, I sometimes feel as if I could see how it suffered seeing people shedding blood in battles, and how it was content when the country united with liberation, and absolutely I know how strong it was to be able to keep itself together through wars. For me, appreciating the beauty of an artistic work is not only about its appearance; the best part is the story behind each of the work, the spiritual beauty that lasts forever, which Saigon
