His decision provokes within himself, the temptation to seek martyrdom is powerful. Becket realizes that the only course he has to follow is to offe

There are 6 magnificent cathedrals in Granada, Nicaragua. Huge, massive structures each with its own haunting elegance.This is Guadalupe Cathedral, built in 1626. Honest. I don't kid about this history stuff. Frankly, I can't stretch my mind far enough back to imagine yesterday, much less over 300 years ago. So, being a wee bit older than most of us, I guess we can excuse Guadalupe for being a bit stained and worn. You should see me before morning coffee!I can't find a lot written about Guadalupe. She was used by William Walker (the man who tried to be King of Nicaragua .. everyone has a dream!) in 1856 as his last stand in Granada. Nice digs for a last ditch effort at taking over a country. Didn't work out for Bill, though. He could have been a whole trilogy of psychology books u

Some selected quotations from T.S. Eliot’s play ‘Murder in the Cathedral’:“For the good times past, that are come againI am your man.” (First Tempter)“To man of God what gladness?” (Becket)“Shall I who ruled among the doves as an eagleNow take the shape of wolf among wolves.” (Becket)“King is forgotten when another shall comeSaints and Martyrs rule from the tomb.” (Fourth Tempter)“Is there no enduring crown to be wonIs there no way in my soul’s sicknessThat does not lead to damnation” (Becket)Here’s what expert critics have to say about the play ‘Murder in the Cathedral’.Nevill Coghill: “Murder in the Cathedral is about a situation and a quality of life; the situation is perpetual and the quality is rare.”Helen Gardener: “The central theme of the play is martyrdom and martyrdom in its strict ancient sense.” David and Jones: “The play is not just a dramatization of death but a deep searching study of the significance of martyrdom.”Here are s
My first impression about the church is that it is truly a calm and quiet place within the city. This church is one of the oldest and the most popular church in trivandrum city commonly known as palayam pally in malayalam. I have been there several times with my wife. Just like all the christian churches in trivandrum this church also welcomes persons from all walks of life irrespective of caste, creed or religion. After praying in the church usually my mind gets calm down and will get a feeling that someone is there looking after me and my family.
