"Priez pour nous et pour les musulmans", voici ce qui est inscrit dans le Choeur de la Basilique. Mais aussi : - "Pas de plus grand amour que de donner sa vie pour ceux qu'on aime" en français, arabe et berbère dans le transept droit. - "L'amour fraternel vient de Dieu, il est Dieu même" en français, arabe et berbère dans le transept gauche. Que ceux que ça dérange passent leur chemin...

From our trip around Arizona, Utah, California. October 1999. Mission San Xavier del Bac is a historic Spanish Catholic mission located about 10 miles (16 km) south of downtown Tucson, Arizona on the Tohono O'odham San Xavier Indian Reservation. Named for a pioneering Christian missionary and co-founder of the Society of Jesus (Jesuit Order), the Mission is also known as the "place where the water appears" as the Santa Cruz River (which runs underground) surfaces nearby. The Mission is situated in the center of a centuries-old Indian settlement, the Tohono O'odham (formerly known as Papago), located along the banks of the Santa Cruz River. The site was founded in 1699 by the Jesuit missionary Eusebio Francisco Kino, who often visited and preached in the area. The original mission church, located about two miles away, was vulnerable to Apache attacks who finally destroyed it in about 1770. Charles III of Spain banned all Jesuits from Spanish lands in the Americas in 1767 because of his distrust of the Jesuits. From this time on, San Xavier mission was led by the more pliable and "reliable" Franciscans. The present building was constructed under the direction of Franciscan Fathers Juan Bautista Velderrain and Juan Bautista Llorenz mainly with native labor working from 1783-1797 with a loan of 7,000 pesos and serves the Catholics of the San Xavier District of Tohono O'odham Nation. Alone of the three Sonoran Desert missions built in Arizona, San Xavier is still actively served by Franciscans, and still serves the Native community by which it was built. The San Xavier church and its Indian converts were originally protected from marauding Apache by the presidio of Tucson established in 1775. The other Sonoran Desert mission in Arizona is now part of the Tumacacori National Historic Park and is inactive. Outside, San Xavier has a white, Moorish-inspired design, elegant and simple, with an ornately decorated entrance. No record of the architect, builders, craftsmen and artisans responsible for creating and decorating it are known. Most of the labor was almost certainly provided by the local Indians and many believe they provided most or all of the artisans as well. Visitors entering the massive, carved mesquite-wood doors of San Xavier are often struck by the coolness of the interior, and the dazzling colors of the paintings carvings, frescoes and statues. The interior is richly decorated with ornaments showing a mixture of New Spain and Native American artistic motifs. The floor plan of the church resembles the classic Latin cross. The main aisle is separated from the sanctuary by the transept or cross aisle, with chapels at either end. The dome above the transept is 52 feet high supported by arches and squinches. At least three different artists painted the artwork inside the church. It is considered by some to be the finest example of Spanish mission architecture in the United States [1]. Not much appears to have been written about the Mission from 1797 to 1828. In 1822, it fell under the jurisdiction of the newly independent Mexican government and the Catholic Diocese of Sonora Mexico. In 1828, the Mexican government banned all Spanish-born priests and the priest serving at San Xavier was sent home to Spain; San Xavier was left vacant. From 1828-1858, the vacant church began to decay and local Indians, concerned about their church, started preserving what they could. In 1853, the church was brought under U.S. jurisdiction when the surrounding territory was bought in the Gadsen Purchase. The vacant and decaying church was re-opened, in 1859, when the U.S.-based Santa Fe Diocese added Arizona to its jurisdiction. The Bishop for the Santa Fe Diocese ordered repairs to be made with Diocese money and a priest was assigned to serve at San Xavier.

The majestic Te Deum of Jeanne Demessieux,recorded in 1980 by the cathedral organist, Josef Zimmermann. The instrument is the IV/86 Transept Organ, built in 1948 by Klais & updated & expanded intermittently over the following 12 years. In the late 1990's the organ was "re-organized" (no pun intended) & raised about 2 meters to project more sound into this immense room. And in 1998, a III/53 "swallow's nest" organ was installed in the nave -- turning a superb instrument into an amazing one that can generate a virtual avalanche of sound.

GTR-DVD-1196 - It is believed that the origin of the richly decorated Episcopal cathedral of Notre Dame dates back to the time of Bishop Maurice De Sully in 1163. But the majority of the cathedral's present day architecture with its strange and fantastic creatures of ancient mythology, such as the chimeras, was designed in the 19th century. The church owes much of its fame to the famous French author, Victor Hugo and his book The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, a great classic of French literature. The stone chimeras are reminiscent of the book's main character, Quasimodo. The remarkable and beautifully designed rose windows in the transept are particularly noteworthy as each is original and dates back to 1270 A.D. In 1804 Napoléon Bonaparte was crowned emperor in Notre Dame by Pope Pius The Seventh on this famous island on the River Seine, the Ile De La Cité. For the French nation the historic importance of this impressive monument is inestimable. Global Treasures - History's Most Protected Monuments - Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live today, and what we pass on to future generations. our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration. Places as unique and diverse as the wilds of East Africa's Serengeti, the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Baroque cathedrals of Latin America make up our world's heritage. Join us as we explore one of these protected monuments.

Paisley Abbey: Paisley Abbey was founded when Walter Fitzalan signed a charter at Fotheringay in 1163.He was descended from the Norman conquerors and in 1141 was brought to Scotland by King David 1,the son of Malcolm Canmore and Saint Margaret.He was made High Steward of Scotland,a position that became hereditary.With extensive lands in Renfrewshire and Ayrshire,he had his Castle in Renfrew.His charter gave the necessary land and revenue for the building and upkeep of the monastery. Thirteen monks came from Wenlock in Shropshire to set up a priory answerable to the Abbey Cluny:but the priory became an abbey, answerable only to Rome, in 1245.There would have been several side chapels and a screen at the crossing at that time. The Abbey was dedicated to St Mary St James St Mirin and St Milburga. In 1164 Walter Fitzalan defeated Somerled,Lord of the isles at Inchinnan.Alan second Steward helped Richard the Lion heart with the Third Crusade in 1189.Under Walterthe third Steward monks from Paisley set up the Abbey of Crossraguel in 1244 Alexander the fourth Steward played a distinguished part at the Battle of Largs in 1263. By 1286 Paisley Abbey rich and powerful served all south-west Scotland. In that year King Alexander III died tragically and his successor a three year old grandaughter,theMaid of Norway died on her way across the North Sea in 1290.Now began a war that would last 300 years between the would-be rulers of Scotland and England. John Balliol the nearest of 13 or more claimants became King, but was deposed by Edward 1st in 1296.William Wallace, the Knight of Elderslie educated possibly at the Paisley Abbey won a battle at Stirling Bridge, but lost at Falkirk in 1298.In 1306 Robert the Bruce was crowned at Scone but failed to win in battle and fled for a while in time. The fifth high Steward Walter Stewart married Marjory Bruce daughter of Robert the Bruce in 1315.In the following year she died in the Abbey infirmary following a riding accident in Renfrew a few miles or so from the Abbey in Paisley. At that time Marjory was pregnant and the child in her womb was saved. He became Robert II the first of the Royal Stewarts. From him our present Queen Elizabeth is descended. Buried in the Abbey are the six High Stewards, Marjory Bruce, Robert II`s wives and Robert III In 1498 the Abbey was damaged in an accidental fire,but was soon restored around 1553 the Tower collapsed destroying the roofs and upper walls of the North transept crossing the Choir. These lay open the the sky for the next 350 years. The Nave was walled off and the Reformation was served as the Parish Church of Paisley. The St Mirin chapel became a totally separate chapel and was used by the Hamilton Family who acquired the old monastic buildings The place of paisley) The choir was used as Graveyard. In 1673 Lord Dundonald(of the Chohrane Family) bought the Place of Paisley and Jean married Graham of Claverhouse(Bonnie Dundee) in the Chapel in 1684.The Hamilton's brought back the Place in 1764,but around 1800 rented it out as shoddy houses, pubs and pawn-shops. The Kirk Session bought it back in 1904 for restoration. In 1858-62 the North porch of the Abbey and the walls of the North transept were restored. Between 1890 and 1907 the north transept and crossing were re-roofed, then rejoined to the nave. In the 1920`s the choir was rebuilt as we see it today and rededicated in 1928.In 1980-81 a new timber ceiling was erected in the nave to replace a "temporary" plaster ceiling that has been erected in 1788.Since 1989 an extensive restoration has been undertaken to both the Abbey and the Place and that work still continues at the present time.

Ride of the Valkyries by Richard Wagner Transcribed for organ by Edwin Lemare Performed on the Æolian-Skinner organ at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine Æolian-Skinner Opus 150A IV-manuals 115 stops 141 ranks 7,938 pipes On the night of December 18, 2001 a fire swept through the unfinished north transept, destroying the gift shop and for a time threatening the sanctuary of the cathedral itself. It temporarily silenced the Aeolian-Skinner organ. Although the organ was not damaged, its pipe chambers had to be removed and laboriously cleaned, to prevent damage from the fire's accumulated soot. In April of 2006 massive $16.5 million cleaning and restoration project got underway. The cleaning and restoration of the organ, with the exception of the State Trumpet, is being performed by Quimby Pipe Organs. Restoration of the State Trumpet is being performed by Douglass Hunt, Curator of Organs for St. John. It's expected to take several months to reassemble the organ, which is slated to be finished just before November 30, 2008 on the 67th anniversary of the nave's first dedication. That's when the entire cathedral will be rededicated. All photos© by K. Tsui (used with permission)

Les 3 cloches de l'église de Montcenis, en Bourgogne, (71710), pour la messe. Le clocher compte 4 cloches, plus une 5° à la croisée du transept qui sonne à la main pour les baptêmes seulement. La cloche n°4 ne sonne pas à la volée, elle tinte juste le glas ou carillonne les mariages..

Church of St. Francis of Assisi. The structure is built of laterite blocks and is lime-plastered. The church faces west and has a nave with three chapels on either side, a choir, two altars in the transept and a main altar. The internal buttress walls, separating the chapels and supporting the gallery on top, have frescoes showing intricate floral designs.

The Tulsa Boy Singers perform Durufle's "Ubi caritas" and a setting of the Lord's Prayer in the North Transept of York Minster.

The twin graceful steeples of the church, which soar heavenward to the height of 217 feet, make it a splendid monument of the piety and industry of the Pioneer Detroit Polanders and a very visible landmark of Old Detroit. In the north tower are housed three huge bells: St. Mary - A (above C); St. Joseph - F sharp; and St. Barbara - E flat. The original plan to place four additional bells in the south tower never materialized. A slender fleche (spire) surmounted the juncture of the nave and the transept. It had deteriorated to such an extent that for reasons of safety it had to be removed in the late 1970s.

La Collégiale Notre-Dame de Dinant est l'un des monuments les plus représentatifs de l'architecture gothique du XIIIe siècle en Wallonie. L'édifice roman construit auparavant s'écroule en 1227 suite à la chute d'un énorme pan de rocher. Il est reconstruit en calcaire de Dinant selon des modèles importés de Bourgogne et de Champagne. Plusieurs évènements mirent à mal l'édifice, comme le Sac de Dinant en 1466 par Philippe le Bon, le passage des troupes du duc de Nevers en 1554 et surtout l'incendie de Dinant en 1914 par l'armée impériale allemande lors des Atrocités allemandes. L'édifice est restauré dans son état du XIIIe siècle et du XIVe siècle. Sauf le clocher bulbeux qui dans sa faiblesse par rapport à la masse rocheuse qui lui sert d'arrière-plan (quand on le voit en amont de la vue ci-dessus) a donné à Jean Lejeune l'idée que le contraste architectural et paysager était une métaphore de la fragilité humaine. La collégiale est longue de 50 mètres et large de 30 au niveau du transept. Le vaisseau central de la nef a une hauteur de 22 mètres, tandis que les bas-côtés ou collatéraux ont environ 14 mètres. Les colonnes des grandes arcades de la nef sont cylindriques. Le chœur est petit, ce qui se comprend facilement puisqu'il est adossé à de hauts rochers. Le clocher bulbeux domine la Meuse de plus de cent mètres. Notons que Victor Hugo, en son temps, a qualifié un peu vite ce bulbe d'immense pot à eau ! Les bas-reliefs de la chapelle baptismale ainsi que les fonts baptismaux datent du XIe siècle. La cathédrale est ornée d'une série de belles peintures de valeur dont les plus jolies toiles sont dues à Antoine Wiertz, enfant du pays, et créateur de l'école romantique en Belgique.

During the Concord California Corps Band 1997 UK Tour we had the honor of playing a concert in the York Minster. Our location was in the North Transept of the Minster under the Five Sisters Window which contains the largest amount of Early English 'grisaille' glass in a single window, anywhere in the world. The window was completed in 1260. This solo was played by Bob Slous who is a music education teacher. What a sound!

Léglise Saint-Léger est la plus ancienne des trois églises de Guebwiller. Elle est construite dès 1182 par les abbés de Murbach, férus de science et desthétisme, à qui la cité naissante de Guebwiller doit ses fortifications. Tout en grès rose, lédifice justifiant la notion dun style roman tardif se constitue de deux tours carrées à louest qui reposent sur des porches, tandis quune troisième tour, octogonale, sagence à la croisée du transept. Lintérieur est spécifique aux églises romanes avec son alternance piliers forts et piliers faibles. Le chœur, décoré de stalles en bois à médaillons bibliques, date du XIVème siècle. Le porche dentrée est à trois arcades surmonté d'un tympan représentant le Christ entouré de la Vierge et de Saint-Léger. Ce saint énigmatique pourrait se rapporter à des protagonistes de La légende dorée. Lhistoire se déroule "en lAn du Seigneur 680, du temps de Constantin IV". À la mort du roi Clotaire, Saint-Léger, chargé des affaires du royaume, fit accéder au trône Childéric , ce qui déplut fortement à Ebroïn qui voua au saint une haine éternelle.

The giant butafumiero (thurible/censer) in action at the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela on the feast of the Virgen de la Pilar. The video was taken at the 10.30am Mass from the south transept looking towards the north. Mass has just started.

The Liturgy of the Word continues with the Responsorial Psalm and the Second Reading (read by one of the mothers in this clip). The Liturgy of the Word ends with the Gospel Reading and the Homily. Then, some boys and parents read the portions of the Prayers of the Faithful. What follows is the Presentation of the Gifts of the parents. After they have given the offering to the priest, they all form one row in the transept (the area set crosswise to the nave in a cross-shaped floor plan of a church) in order to receive the priest's blessing. When the priest gives them the blessing, each one makes the sign of the Cross. (3:16)

Saint Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, formally known as The National Cathedral and Collegiate Church of Saint Patrick, Dublin or in the Irish language as Árd Eaglais Naomh Pádraig, founded in 1191, is the larger of Dublin's two Church of Ireland cathedrals, and the largest church in Ireland. Unusually it is not today the seat of a bishop, as Dublin's Church of Ireland Archbishop has his seat in Christ Church Cathedral, with Saint Patrick's being (since 1870) the National Cathedral for the whole island, drawing chapter members from each of the twelve dioceses of the Church of Ireland. Saint Patrick's is headed by a Dean, an office which has existed since 1219, the most famous holder being Jonathan Swift. Elle se trouve a Dublin, la capitale de l'Irlande, et s'élève sur un ancien lieu de culte. Elle se situe à la source, où le Saint patron baptisa ses fidèles. Cependant, elle fut entièrement reconstruite, il ne reste donc rien des batiments d'origine. Les origines de la cathédrale remontent au Vème siècle. Les Normands la remplacèrent par une construction en pierre en 1191 et le bâtiment que l'on voit aujourd'hui date du XIIIème siècle excepté la flèche qui date de 1749. Il est possible de la visiter. Elle est bien connue dans toute l'Europe. Le plus célèbre de ses doyens fut l'écrivain Jonathan Swift qui y est enterré. Dans le transept nord sont exposés le masque mortuaire de l'auteur, sa chaire mobile et divers objets personnels. La Catedral de San Patricio en Dublín (Árd Eaglais Naomh Pádraig en Irlandés), antiguamente conocida como la Catedral Nacional y colegiata de San Patricio, es la mayor de las dos Catedrales de la Iglesia de Irlanda. No es la sede de un obispo, dado que el Arzobispo de la Iglesia de Irlanda de Dublín tiene su sede en la Catedral de la Santísima Trinidad de Dublín, siendo vista San Patricio como la Catedral Nacional para toda la isla y atrayendo delegados de las doce diócesis de la Iglesia de Irlanda. St. Patricks Cathedral (ehemals: The National Cathedral and Collegiate Church of Saint Patrick, Dublin; irisch: Árd Eaglais Naomh Pádraig, Ausspr. /ˈɑrdˌagəlis´ ˌneːv ˈpɑrig´/) in Dublin, Irland, ist die größere der beiden Kathedralen der Stadt. Erstaunlicherweise ist nicht sie Sitz des Bischofs, sondern die etwas kleinere Christ Church Cathedral. Die Kirche war ursprünglich eine kleine Holzkapelle, die nahe einer Quelle stand, an der angeblich St. Patrick um 450 bekehrte Gläubige getauft hat. Ungefähr im Jahre 1191, während der Bischofszeit von John Comyn (Erzbischof von Dublin), wurde die ursprünglich außerhalb der Mauern von Dublin aus Holz gebaute keltische St. Patrick's Church zu einer Kathedrale. Ein Großteil des heutigen 91m langen Gebäudes, Irlands größte Kirche, wurde bereits zwischen 1191 und 1270 erbaut. Der 43 m hohe Hauptturm (Minot-Turm) wurde 1370 unter dem Erzbischof Minot restauriert und erhielt im 18. Jahrhundert seinen Turmhelm. Im Laufe der Zeit verkam die Kirche allerdings immer mehr und brannte schließlich aus, so dass eine größere Sanierung in den 1860er Jahren notwendig wurde, die von Sir Benjamin Guinness finanziert wurde. Aufgrund dieser Sanierung stammt ein Großteil der Mauern und Verzierungen aus dem viktorianischen Zeitalter. Diese Umbauten waren für den Erhalt der Kathedrale notwendig - jedoch wurde es versäumt den Umbau zu dokumentieren, so dass heute wenig bekannt ist, welche Teile des Gebäudes noch ursprünglich aus dem Mittelalter stammen. Die St. Patricks Cathedral galt im Gegensatz zur Christ Church Cathedral, die von den Engländern genutzt wurde, lange Zeit als Kirche des Volkes. Während des Aufenthalts von Oliver Cromwell in Dublin nutzte dieser das Kirchenschiff als Stall seiner Pferde. In ihrer langen Geschichte trug die Kathedrale viel zum irischen Leben bei. Der Schriftsteller und Satiriker Jonathan Swift (Autor von Gullivers Reisen), war von 1713 bis 1745 Dekan der Kathedrale. Sein Grab und die Grabinschrift können hier besichtigt werden. Von 1783 bis zur Abspaltung der Church of Ireland 1871 diente die Kathedral als Chapel of the Most Illustrious Order Saint Patrick. Die heraldischen Flaggen dieser Zeit hängen noch heute im Kirchenschiff. Heutzutage finden in der Kathedrale noch diverse öffentliche nationale Feierlichkeiten statt.

This is how it is going to look, clip 790 19.11.07, thru the South Transept Door.

The stately Pantheon at Rome Italy, is one of the world's most inspiring architectural designs. Its perfectly proportioned floating dome lets in the only source of light through the central ocular. Fittingly built as a temple to the Gods by Hadrian in 120AD, its perfectly proportioned floating dome rests seductively on sturdy marble columns. The only light source flowing through the central oculus was used by the Romans to measure time (with the aid of a sundial) and the dates of equinoxes and solstices. The south transept houses the Carafa Chapel and the tomb of Fra Angelico rests under the left side of the altar.

did i say as well as renovations at kirkstall abbey ( new roofs over side aisles and north and south transept and the new visitors centre ).We also worked at the mansion roundhay park (new parapet gutters set to modern falls,this little video is a walkabout round the perimeter

This chapel is located along side of the transept.

On voit ici les restes du bras Nord du transept de l'église romane du XIè siècle. We can see the remains of the North arm of the Roman church built in the 11th century.
