Cosmic Multicultural Bucharest in the Pandemic (171):
Is This a Blessing?
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe (astro-photo-poem-essay) and Florin Alexandru Stancu (design)
On March 22, 2022,
my steps were guided to a space of incredible multiculturalism that preserves so many astral symbols!
Yes, a space 1.5 km long and 1 km wide, covering over a century and a half.
A space that proves that Bucharest (nicknamed Little Paris in its Royal times) was a model of inter-human harmony, worthy of being followed by the whole world.
Especially in these days, when a new absurd war is shaking our planet.
1. The first call of the Sun.
A Christian Orthodox Church (dedicated to the martyrs of the Romanian anti-totalitarian revolution of 1989), a Calvinist church, a mosque (founded in the 1900s), a Jewish cemetery…
2. The second call of the Sun.
The complex of the Bellu (Serban Voda) Cemetery, founded in the 1850s as a Romanian reply to the famous Pere Lachaise and Montparnasse cemeteries in Paris, including: the Orthodox cemetery with its chapel and the memorial park of the Romanian Academy, the cemetery of French heroes in World War I and its chapel, the Catholic cemetery and its chapel, a Catholic church, and the cemetery of Italian heroes in World War I.
3. The third call of the Sun.
The Lutheran cemetery with its chapel, a Pentecostal center, and another Orthodox church…
Be blessed all, my friends!
