RT @mari_iga: 12/4 聖バルバラの祝日。キリスト教禁止時代のニコメディアの裕福な家庭に生まれた。求婚者を遠ざけるため父親により塔に幽閉される。そのなかでキリスト教に入信。それを知った父親から改宗を迫られ拷問にかけられるが信仰を捨てず殉教。手にした塔はアトリビュートの一つ。 pic.twitter.com/cvaLZMJ1YB

RT @SlCathy: Yesterday evening I heard Medieval bagpipes and a hurdy-gurdy played with great brio, in Dorchester Abbey.

RT @OptimoPrincipi: The word 'ceiling' derives - like the word 'celestial' - from the Latin 'caelum' meaning 'heaven/sky'. In a poetic addition, this may in turn come from the verb 'caelare' meaning 'to engrave' - as the stars were imagined to be engraved on the vault of the heavens. pic.twitter.com/QbGzBr05aA
