  • “Heaven Reigns of Glorious Snow on the Church of San Sebastiano in the Bavarian Alps - Painting by Dino Carbetta "...<br />
<br />
Psalms 42:2-6 – “As the deer longs for streams of water, so my soul longs for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, the living God. When can I enter and see the face of God? My tears have been my bread day and night, as they ask me every day, “Where is your God?” Those times I recall as I pour out my soul, When I would cross over to the shrine of the Mighty One, to the house of God, Amid loud cries of thanksgiving, with the multitude keeping festival. Why are you downcast, my soul; why do you groan within me? Wait for God, for I shall again praise him, my savior and my God.” The beautiful Bavarian church was built in 1512 under Prince Provost Gregor Rainer is consecrated to Saints Sebastian and Fabian and lies only 161 miles from Bolzano, Italy. In the late gothic built style, the 16th-century church has been extended several times and provided with a stone tower in 1611. It was finally redesigned in baroque style together with the tower built in 1700 and covered with an onion dome and wooden shingles. To the east of the church is the historic cemetery, which is adjacent to the war memorial in memory of the Ramsau people who died in World War II. In 1960 US President Eisenhower painted the church by hand based on a color photo. His work was reproduced as a Christmas present for the White House staff and published in the European edition of Stars and Stripes, the daily newspaper of the US armed forces. I found the beautiful snowy church and mountains to be a perfect backdrop in a faithful description of this Psalms bible passage.

  • “The Church of Santa Maddalena is surrounded by Roe Deer, both enjoying the sunset over the Dolomites in South Tyrol, Italy - Painting by Dino Carbetta”…<br />
<br />
The Church of St. Magdalene resides in a small village located in the Dolomites of Italy. Both, the village and the church, are symbols of the Val di Funes. This tiny picturesque village of just 377 people is located in the Trentino-Alto Adige region of Northern Italy. Historically, the church was built where the miraculous image of Santa Maddalena was washed up by the Fopal River. Saint Mary Magdalene church is mentioned beginning in 1394. The current form of the nave with a sloping base and a slightly grooved roof cornice, with pear and round bar on the pointed arch portal with a red chalk inscription, was complete in 1492. The mural exterior is the Crucifix on the gable in a niche with a donkey's back, weather-beaten, early XVI century. St. Christopher is lively and virtuoso in movement with a fluttering, wrinkled robe. Interiorly, the keystones on the vault, are bust portraits of Mary with the Christ Child and saints. The valley, as you can see, Val di Funes is stunningly beautiful. Summer, it’s very green and dotted with colorful flowers. Winter, it’s covered with snow, and the ragged Dolomite peaks, pierce the sky toward the heavens. Mary Magdalene is the first among the women following Jesus to proclaim Him as having overcome death. She is the first to announce the joyful message of Easter. But she also proved she was among those who loved Him most when she stood at the foot of the Cross on Mount Calvary together with Mary, His Mother, and the disciple, St. John. She did not deny him or run away in fear as the other disciples did, but remained close to Him every moment, up to and including the tomb. The Italian Roe Deer rejoice in the beauty of God’s creation.
