【学习笔记】漫游世界建筑群-3 paradise

Russia:

1.I'm going north, and the snow is building up. I'm on a pilgrimage to a place that

I'm told represents the heart and soul of Russia.

2.It was here that a Russian vision of paradise was created, made not of stone,

but wood.

3.What an astonishing silhouette.The large church on the left looks rather like a

sort of pyramid, like a mighty fir tree.

4.Kizhi has been holy ground since pagan times

5.All within is blessed, consecrated as a spiritual refuge.This wall ought to keep

prowling evil spirits out, to keep the old gods at bay.

6..............awaiting resurrection on the Day of Judgement.

7.The buildings within the enclosure are beautifully constructed out of pine logs.

8. A saw would damage the grain. An axe closes the grain. Protects the wood from

damp. Stops the timbers from rotting.

9.On the Church of the Transfiguration, there are 22 domes, a number that puzzles

most people. But it could refer to the Book of Revelation,a text held very important by the Orthodox church.

10.Only this scaffolding prevents the Transfiguration from collapsing.

11.But the Intercession, the winter church, is a beacon of light.

12.This is the 1 8th century way of drinking tea, into the saucer.

13.Even in this cold and forbidding land, people have created a place of spiritual

warmth.The churches of Kizhi shine out in the dark, catering for the bodies and souls of their congregation.A light that refuses to be snuffed out.
