Franciscan Church - Bratislava
The oldest church located in the old center of Bratislava is the Franciscan Church of the Holy Virgin Mary's Assumption. It was consecrated on March 25, 1297, in the presence of King Andrew III, Ostrihom's Archbishop and four highest bishops of the country. It was rebuild during years 1613-1616 in Renaissance style and later on during years' 1745-1746 in Baroque style. Numerous fires and earthquakes damaged the church structurally, that in 1897 gothic tower was removed. This tower is now placed in park of Janko Král in Petržalka, on the right side of Danube.
Franciscan Church belongs to the most important places of coronation celebration, where the newly crowned king would come on foot from the cathedral of St. Martin. During the celebration, Knighting act would take place here. Selected aristocrats would be knighted to the order of the Golden Spur. On the north wall-of the church there is a separate two floor Gothic chapel of St. John Evangelist, built in 14th century. This is a true gem of Gothic architecture. It was the funeral chapel of the Jakubs' family, the first lord mayor of Bratislava.

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered liscenced tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this calling in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, glide over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water and see the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be inplanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.

출발지인 아드리아해의 남쪽 끝으로 향하는 여정은 로마를 거쳐 크로아티아 수도인 자그레브를 경유해 긴 시간이 걸렸다. 아드리아 해에 신기루처럼 떠있는 두브로브니크 ‘지상의 낙원을 보고 싶다면 이곳으로 오라’고 극작가 ‘버나드 쇼‘는 말했다. 7세기에 형성된 이 작은 도시는 해상무역의 중심지로 명성을 떨치면서 막강한 부를 축적했다. 1806년 나폴레옹이 이 문을 통과하는 순간 공화국의 수명이 다한 역사적인 심장부, ‘필레 관문’이다. 광장에 들어서니 탁 트인 시야에 사람들의 웅성거림이 정겹다. 프랑스 서사시에 나오는 빨간 목도리를 두른 중세의 영웅, 롤랑 기사 조각상이다. 세계 각지에서 온 관광객들은 저마다 방문 스케줄을 짜기에 바쁘다. 나는 낯선 여행객들을 따라 시가지로 발길을 옮긴다. 크로아티아를 대표하는 극작가이자 문학가인 마린 드리지츠 동상과 마주했다. 그는 귀족이 아닌 사람도 사람대접을 받는 평등하고 자유로운 세상을 꿈꿨다고 한다. 이 도시의 상징인 렉터 궁전이다. 이 작은 공화국의 행정을 맡았던 최고 지도자의 집무실 겸 집이라고 한다. 통치자는 보수도 없고, 임기는 한달 정도로 짧은데 임기동안에는 궁 밖으로 나갈 수도 없다고 한다. ‘공적인 일에 전념하라’는 문구가 입구에 새겨져 있다고 한다. 광장까지 이어진 약 300미터의 플라차 대로를 지나 작은 골목의 속살을 들여다보기로 했다. 골목 안에선 다양한 풍경이 펼쳐진다. 손님들 또한 세계 도처에서 온 듯하다. 어느 기념품 가게 안으로 들어서니 주인이 손을 들어 반긴다. “가족 사업인데 이건 세라믹으로 만든 거예요. 도자기가 아니죠. 직접 손으로 만든 겁니다” 다양한 기념품들 사이로 친근한 글씨가 눈에 들어왔다. 아무래도 한국과의 인연이 상당한 듯하다. “한국 사람들 많이 와요. 한국 사람들과 찍은 사진이 이렇게 많이 있어요.”

The journey to the southern end of the Adriatic Sea, the starting point, took a long time via Rome and via the Croatian capital, Zagreb. If you want to see the paradise on earth, come here, said playwright Bernard Shaw, who is a mirage in the Adriatic Sea. Built in the 7th century, this small city has earned a reputation as a center of maritime trade and has accumulated tremendous wealth. At the moment when Napoleon passed this gate in 1806, the Republic's life span is at the heart of the historic 'Fleet Gate'. When you enter the square, you can see the bustle of people in a clear view. It is a medieval hero, a Roland Garon statue, with a red shawl in a French epic. Tourists from all over the world are busy scheduling visits. I travel to the city by following strangers. It faces Croatian dramatist and literary artist Marind Droitz. He says that even non - noble people dreamed of an equal and free world to be treated. It is the symbol of the city, Lector Palace. This is the office and house of the supreme leader who was in charge of the administration of this small republic. The ruler has no remuneration, and his term is as short as a month, but he can not go outside the office during his term. It is said that the phrase concentrate on public affairs is engraved on the entrance. We walked past the 300-meter-long Placa Boulevard leading up to the square and decided to look into the small alley. In the alley there are various landscapes. The guests also seem to come from all over the world. One of the souvenir shops inside the shop, the owner welcomes his hand. It's a family business, it's made of ceramic. It is not porcelain. It was made by hand. There was a familiar handwriting among the various souvenirs. It seems that the relationship with Korea is considerable. Koreans come a lot. There are so many pictures taken with Korean people.

SUMMARY
=======
Several Catholic countries and populations fell under Nazi domination during the period of the Second World War (1939–1945), and ordinary Catholics fought on both sides of the conflict. Despite efforts to protect its rights within Germany under a 1933 Reichskonkordat treaty, the Church in Germany had faced persecution in the years since Adolf Hitler had seized power, and Pope Pius XI accused the Nazi government of sowing 'fundamental hostility to Christ and his Church'. Pius XII became Pope on the eve of war and lobbied world leaders to prevent the outbreak of conflict. His first encyclical, Summi Pontificatus, called the invasion of Poland an hour of darkness. He affirmed the policy of Vatican neutrality, but maintained links to the German Resistance. Despite being the only world leader to publicly and specifically denounce Nazi crimes against Jews in his 1942 Christmas Address, controversy surrounding his apparent reluctance to speak frequently and in even more explicit terms about Nazi crimes continues. He used diplomacy to aid war victims, lobbied for peace, shared intelligence with the Allies, and employed Vatican Radio and other media to speak out against atrocities like race murders. In Mystici corporis Christi (1943) he denounced the murder of the handicapped. A denunciation from German bishops of the murder of the innocent and defenceless, including people of a foreign race or descent, followed.Hitler's invasion of Catholic Poland sparked the War. Nazi policy towards the Church was at its most severe in the areas it annexed to the Reich, such as the Czech and Slovene lands, Austria and Poland. In Polish territories it annexed to Greater Germany, the Nazis set about systematically dismantling the Church—arresting its leaders, exiling its clergymen, closing its churches, monasteries and convents. Many clergymen were murdered. Over 1800 Catholic Polish clergy died in concentration camps; most notably, Saint Maximilian Kolbe. Nazi security chief Reinhard Heydrich soon orchestrated an intensification of restrictions on church activities in Germany. Hitler and his ideologues Goebbels, Himmler, Rosenberg and Bormann hoped to de-Christianize Germany in the long term. With the expansion of the war in the East, expropriation of monasteries, convents and church properties surged from 1941. Clergy were persecuted and sent to concentration camps, religious Orders had their properties seized, some youth were sterilized. The first priest to die was Aloysius Zuzek. Bishop August von Galen's ensuing 1941 denunciation of Nazi euthanasia and defence of human rights roused rare popular dissent. The German bishops denounced Nazi policy towards the church in pastoral letters, calling it unjust oppression.From 1940, the Nazis gathered priest-dissidents in dedicated clergy barracks at Dachau, where (95%) of its 2,720 inmates were Catholic (mostly Poles, and 411 Germans), 1,034 died there. Mary Fulbrook wrote that when politics encroached on the church, German Catholics were prepared to resist, but the record was otherwise patchy and uneven with notable exceptions, it seems that, for many Germans, adherence to the Christian faith proved compatible with at least passive acquiescence in, if not active support for, the Nazi dictatorship. Influential members of the German Resistance included Jesuits of the Kreisau Circle and laymen such as July plotters Klaus von Stauffenberg, Jakob Kaiser and Bern ...

10 Things to do in Hvar, Croatia Travel Guide Video Transcript:
We have finally made it to one of my dream destinations. We're in Hvar, Croatia so and oh my it is beautiful. Today we have blue skies so we're just going to run around like crazy to show you guys Hvar.
As you probably already know, we never start sightseeing without a good meal, so the first item on our list was to find some breakfast. This proved to be a little tricky considering we were visiting during low season, but after a few false starts we settled down at BB Club for shakshuka, omelettes, nutella crepes and cappuccinos.
With bellies full, we were ready explore and our eyes were set on the fortress, which is the focal point when you gaze up from the Old Town.
Reaching the fortress means walking straight uphill, but there are a few scenic stops along the way, including a beautiful park, a seemingly abandoned church, and plenty of lookouts where you can admire the town and the harbour.
After visiting the fort, we came back to the Old Town and decided to go on a little walk along the waterfront. We hadn’t packed any bathing suits and it was too late in the season to go for a swim, but Audrey was set on testing out the turquoise waters.
Continuing our wander through Hvar Town without a particular place or direction in mind, we then came across a medieval Venetian bell tower that we had noticed peeking through the buildings. The bell tower is part of the Ruins of the Dominican Monastery and St. Mark's Church, and while the structure is closed off, it’s still a cool landmark to visit.
We went to KOGO which is located in the main square just footsteps from St. Stephen’s Cathedral. They specialize in pizzas and pastas, and everything was so tasty!
Lastly, to finish up our 1-day tour of Hvar Town, we walked back to the marina, this time heading left in the direction of the Franciscan Monastery, where we were treated to a magical sunset complete with live music.
