Creative trip to Israel.
 

the places of spiritual orders of chivalry and Christian holy sites .
I asked, " Why is this topic ? What motivated ? Knížek been reading ? Himself went ? " Questions normal , asked almost everything, so and say, " Yes, read the book . Yeah, ridden one. " So what to do if few people interested , and go away. But this is a huge cultural background , what depth , what topics ! perhaps after as an artist, I have received no less a charge of emotion .
Mankind loves puzzles , mystery, drama. History of spiritual orders of chivalry is able to interest any fan of mystery and adventure. Secret societies , rich mighty knights - all romantic, it all excites the imagination . Myths and Reality ! So wanted to touch the stones , to see the shrine , talk about sex with different people, to piece together , pass it through the prism of the artist.

About crusade for the liberation of the Holy Sepulchre will not write, that's all there on the Internet. I'll show you a few photos .
castle of Montfort .

In the early years of captivity powerful personality of the people , Moses broke the tradition of authorities to share knowledge about the world order on the secret for the elite and popular for the whole nation. A smart leader laid the revelation in the language of the people . And the people became pragmatic ( pragmatism , that is the case , the action - a philosophical trend , based on the criteria in the practice of truth and relevance of the meaning) . And the tradition of government to keep people in the dark ignorance is not dead .
Toss the time religion (memory) and substance. Moiseyev experience the true impact of the knowledge that is embedded in the language , repeated Cyril and Methodius . However, the secret language of communication with not being disclosed . So we live .

It's all full of history and every stone .... What excites the imagination around here where you were gone before Christ ... swords rang Crusaders.
Maybe if you have a desire to share your travel sketches ...

I immediately show you a few sketches. To be frank , I do not want to expose the working material on the Internet, even when the picture is not written - it is wrong. Must itself have all digest.
1. " Tabgha . Multiplication of the loaves and fishes ." At this point according to the Christian tradition, there was a wonderful multiplication of the loaves and fishes by Jesus Christ.

In 1229, Montfort castle was sold to the Order of the Knights of St. Mary's Hospital ( Teutonic Knights ) , and was renamed in Starkenberg ( strong mountain). Since 1266 attacked by the Mamluks and 1271g . it was decided to hand over the fortress to save the archives and treasury of the Order , which were subsequently moved to Acre .
acre ( Acre ) was conquered after the First Crusade , and became the capital of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem . Military Hospitaller Order of chivalry , the Knights Templar and later the Teutonic Knights gained in Acre own neighborhoods. They built homes here , warehouses , hospitals , churches and office buildings .
An interesting point , when in 1291 the Mamluks took Acre , cutting out all in a row , the Templars escaped through a secret tunnel that connected their fortress with the seaport in the east.

Magnolia, I do not want to ship the Community depth knowledge of the history or religious- mystical experiences . It's just an easy hike on Israel. Well you know, I'm not easy to go there before it 's been 2 years of studying the issue. I knew the people I meet and what places to visit . <! - ~ 1 ~ -> Therefore, all had , and I think this trip a success.

Very happy for you!

Caesarea in Palestine, beautiful place . The entrance to the town is very picturesque , all in a variety of colors, but somehow it grows rapidly out of nowhere, out of the desert , hills and dunes. Here I was first introduced to dehydration , at first did not understand something head ache a little , and then I was advised to drink water or drink a large glass of pomegranate juice , and somehow it went quickly , we have a different sun.
The city is famous people such as Pompeii , P.Pilat , August, Herod the Great (town, named Caesarea by Herod the Great in honor of Augustus Caesar ) . In 1101/2g . was conquered by the Crusaders .

He would get up at 5 and went to 1.2 nights . We had to visit several places in a day. A few weeks and then something did not, but the basic plan to do .
Jaffa - port , supply point of Christ's army.
