St. Mark - Again

30/4/2019

As I noted in a post two years ago, 25 March is the feast of St. Mark the Evangelist. As his remains are buried in Venice, he lends his name to a basilica and the city's most famous square. The winged lion atop the column in St. Mark's Square is also a symbol of the Gospel-writer. And there's a festival for his name day - see the link just above. I've copied the picture from that posting below, along with a second "Mark and St. Mark's."

This year I don't have much to add, but I would like to share another photo from that trip, this one of me in front of another St. Mark's - in Zagreb.

It was the second major leg of a choir bus trip that took us from Central Slovakia through Austria and down to the Trentino region, where we gave concerts in conjunction with a local choir. We also visited tourist destinations and dined and strolled on the shore of Lake Garda. We then visited Verona and sang at the unveiling of a plaque to Slovak hero M. R. Štefánik (more on that coming up for the 100th anniversary of his death on 4 May). We visited Venice and San Marino before heading to Croatia to for another choir exchange, where I had this picture made.

This St. Mark's is probably best known for its locally produced tiles with Zagreb's coat of arms (white castle on a red background), a nineteenth-century addition to a church that dates back to the fourteenth century.

I'll be posting more about that trip in the coming months.

Omg I Finally Got Helped !! I'm so excited right now, I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders. I had all this but I made a big mistake when I cheated on my wife with another woman and my wife left me for over 4 months after she found out.. I was lonely, sad and devastated. Luckily I was directed to a very powerful spell caster Dr Emu who helped me cast a spell of reconciliation on our Relationship and he brought back my wife and now she loves me far more than ever.. I'm so happy with life now. Thank you so much Dr Emu, kindly Contact Dr Emu Today and get any kind of help you want.. Via Email emutemple@gmail.com or Call/WhatsApp cell number +2347012841542
