This is a thread for people of all different religions where we can share images of our Holy Places, eg. Mosques, Churches and Temples, in the spirit of interfaith relations.
It was never finished (only the crypt was completed before they ran out of money) but the Catholic Cathedral of Christ the King is often called the greatest building never built:
Since the foundations are complete (and under the current cathedral of Liverpool, a concrete teepee) I hope that one day it might finished. I can only imagine how much that would cost though...

It looks pretty amazing, like the temple mount. Something that bold and imposing really shows its builders' devotion to God. No monument can ever match God, so people are inspired to build grander and grander buildings in His honour.
is that a Sikh temple? It and the Golden temple are both very beatiful, though in very different ways. What form does a Sikh temple usually take - is there a standard 'look'?
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, on top of the supposed (temporary) tomb of Jesus. This church is always the site of fights between different Christian denominations, and even the key to the door is kept with one muslim (and therefore neutral family), with the actual job of opening the door the duty of another muslim family.
^ Avar, what are Sikh people are doing in the temple? Like a prayer way I mean.
The Gurdwara, men sit on the right women on the left in silence crossed legged on the floor Shoes off, head covered. We listen to the prayers from the Guru Granth Sahib. (Holy Book)
Ėk Gusā Alhu Mėrā
The One Lord, the Lord of the World, is my God Allah.
Dhan Guru Arjan Dev Mahraaj Ji!
Kal Meh Bėḏ Atharbaṇ Hū Nā Kẖuḏā Alhu Bẖa.
In the Dark Age of Kali Yuga, the Atharva Veda became prominent; Allah became the Name of God.

Thanks. No standard look. Just has to be domed. No idols, pictures of any sort inside.
BTW - The first picture looks ace.

Hmm, very interesting way of prayer. Thanks for explained!
St Pauls, for centuries one of the greatest churches on Christendom.
Though perhaps not as impressive as the previous St Pauls - which was one third taller, the tallest building in the world, and along with old London Bridge made London one of the wonders of the medieaval world:
This Mosque since it started construction in 1996 underwent many many redesigns and ended up costing 10 times the original price. Tourists are allowed in with tour guides and also get the chance to learn more about islam and islamic architecture
These amazing pictures taken by Osama, who happens to be an enviromental engineer with a very good eye !
1) If you do not go after what you want, you will never have it
2) If you don't ask, the answer will always be no.
3) If you do not step forward, you'll always be in the same place
