Gesegneten Sonntag
Elisabeth Kirche Marburg
Blessed Sunday
Elisabeth Church Marburg
Invented in the 1810s, the heavy coffin-shaped mortsafe was placed over the wooden coffin after interment and left there until the body had decomposed enough to no longer be suitable for dissection. The watchhouse would be occupied for the same period of time.
A cast iron mortsafe and stone watchhouse in the Cadder Parish Churchyard on the outskirts of Glasgow. These features were designed to thwart the body-snatchers of the early 1800s who would steal the recently buried to sell to local medical schools.

The interior of St Mungo's Church on Parson Street in Glasgow, which was designed by George Goldie and was built in 1841.
Soft candlelight from real candles illuminated the dim environment in Sts. Cyril and Methodius Church, the first Serbian Orthodox Church in Ljubljana Slovenia. The warm glow created a serene and contemplative atmosphere.

A few years ago, I photographed an abandoned #church in a quiet English market town. In 2022 it was tastefully renovated into a cosy holiday home. What are your thoughts on this?
I often wonder—do you prefer to glimpse these places as they are in my images, frozen in time but forgotten? Or do you enjoy hearing tales of renovation and second chances (whatever those may be)?
Here are my #photos, from my 2020 visit.

Sometimes church ceilings are quite astonishing, aren't they? I came across this one last week - in a country church in Cornwall.
The Italianate Gothic former Kelvinside Parish Church on the corner of Byres Road and Great Western Road in the West End of Glasgow. Designed by J.J. Stevenson, it was built in 1862. Since 2004, it's been home to Òran Mór, an arts and entertainment venue.

Let’s get a little weird for the weekend! This is my first longer blog post and I’ve been doing a fair bit of reflection on #Theology and #Technology these days…
