the locusts from the bottomless pit

"The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth. And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle. They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months." - Revelation 9:7-10 (NKJV)

miniature in the "bamberg apocalypse", illuminated manuscript, lake constance region, c. 1000-1020

Marginal image at the end of an 11th century copy of Jerome's Commentaries on Isaiah labeled "Hugo pictor", presumably a self-portrait of the book's artist.

The village of Pazzano and the ancient Hermit of Santa Maria della Stella, Calabria, Italy

Pazzano is quaint little village situated between Monte Stella and Monte Consolino and it extends to the north to the lush green Serre mountains.

The most important thing to see in Pazzano is the Hermit of Santa Maria della Stella, an ancient byzantine hermitage sited in a natural cave on Monte Stella.

In the 11th century Byzantine monks lived in the sanctuary. Cristodulo was one of the first the Hegumen. In 1096, it became a minor monastery. In the Norman period it was converted to a Catholic monastery.

Inside the hermitage there is a 16th-century statue of Madonna in marble and Byzantine frescos representing saints.

st. george and the dragon

i was thinking about what if you did something that was objectively the right thing to do but you had to put up with everyone talking about it and you in the context of that thing forever, would you regret doing it? is it ok to go back to a fight you won and cry over how hard it was and what you lost by finishing it? well

#St George #dragon #you'll never guess but the first recorded version of st George and the dragon is from the 11th century in...... Georgia. the country ofc.#who would have guessed #art #tw blood #we're unchristianifying and androgynyifying him. move over St Sebastian there's a new weirdly lgbt thing going on. jk he's still goated
