El Partido Andalusí, con el nieto de Blas Infante. Hagáis lo que hagáis, rabiéis lo que rabiéis, nunca podréis contra la realidad de nuestra cultura y nuestra historia. Si España no es Al-Ándalus, Andalucía no es España.

@madetopray4 @catholic_woods Thank* the corrector is the worst haha.

@madetopray4 @catholic_woods Thanks you, I’m glad you think so! It’s almost identical to its Spanish equivalent haha.

I'll make a few more and see about getting some key rings to go with these and they should be for sale in a few days.
Catholic Woodsman@catholic_woods
I had some extra paracord that wasn’t enough for another rosary so I made this cross. If anyone is interested, I could sell these. Perhaps with a key ring or small carabiner or something.

This is the Giralda, one of the most unique and impressive bell towers in Christendom, and a result of the glorious reconquest of Seville by Saint Ferdinand. It partly features the typical structure of Almohad minarets, topped with a Christian belfry. +

Here is the link to Selected Essays by Hilaire Belloc, from which I obtained the extract:

A highly recommended read.

Here is an extract from the essay On the Cathedral of Seville and “The Misanthrope”, written by the great Hilaire Belloc. It is of the most ingenious and beautiful insights concerning said temple and, of course, its bell tower: the fascinating Giralda.

The Metropolitan Cathedral Church of St David in Cardiff, Wales.
It was originally constructed as a church in 1842, with the current building design dating to 1887, and became a cathedral in 1920. It was destroyed during WW2, and was rebuilt in 1959.

Thank you very much to my now 300 followers! I promise that I shall do everything I can to present the Catholic heritage of this beautiful peninsula in the best possible manner. God bless you.

@ComeHometoRome Amazing! I’ve heard there‘s even another city called Seville somewhere in the States too. Quite interesting.
English
@IbCathAes No problem, I knew enough Spanish and Latin to figure it out.
English
@juancege La Giralda as we nowadays know it is what Castile wanted it to be. It could’ve been destroyed by Christians but it was improved and partly kept instead. I most certainly have given proper credit to it.
English
@IbCathAes La Giralda is a jewel of Islamic architecture; not “a result of the glorious reconquest “. Let’s give proper credit to Spain’s shared heritage.

Early 1900s people in the Diocese of Tucson randomly went so far into Moorish Revival they just built an Almohad Mosque for this Church

@catholic_woods Oh, indeed! It’s exactly what I meant. They’re great to pray everywhere in an easier way. Sorry I didn’t know the word!
English
@IbCathAes That's not a word I've seen before but I assume you mean one decade rosaries. I do make those.

Finally, the Archbishop conferred upon it the invocation of Our Lady of Patronage.
(Picture taken by me).
English
Prior to the construction of the shrine as it exists today, permission was granted on the 28th of November for the erection of a more modest monument.
Later on, the statue that we see today was donated. +
English
Also in Plaza del Triunfo we find a small shrine dedicated to the Triumph of Our Lady of Patronage, from whom the square itself takes its name. It stands behind the Archive of the Indies and contains a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary holding the Infant Jesus in her arms. +

Seville was a pioneer in defending the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. As early as the 17th century, the feast was already widely celebrated in the city, two centuries before it was formally defined as a dogma. +
