Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much. They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation. In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death. The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time. Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed. From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision. I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home. Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve. Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect. I liked the personal treatment given to my mother who is 97 years old. As her representative, I found Springfield employees pleasant and sincere, helpful and knowledgeable. Something I didn’t know, was that the funeral home would help me get through the paperwork need at this time. I am very thankful for that. Genuine concern, excellent service, very professional. Since this was my first experience (with a funeral home), everything was above and beyond what I expected. Thank you to your team for your kindness to me at a very challenging time.  You have now taken care of both of my parents with professionalism and care. Springfield Funeral Home is always professional, caring and very knowledgeable.  We appreciate that you have dedicated staff for all needs from planning the service to completing government paperwork. I am not sure there was anything you could have done to make a very intense emotional time less stressful.  Although we hadn’t expected Ken to want a service, when he said we needed to have one for us not him, it was true.  Your sincerity and compassion meant everything to us.  Thank you. David Henseleit, your compassion and professionalism is truly amazing!  The entire staff were courteous, super professional and caring as each guest arrived.  Everything was done to perfection! Keep up the good work that you do as it is such an important service you provide.  It is still the most difficult time in a person’s life.  Your kindness is so appreciated.  We appreciated the peace of mind that everything was being looked after. You provide a wonderful service for people going through a traumatic time.  Thank You.  The kindness and professionalism shown by the staff at Springfield Funeral Home was exemplary.

at Salzburg’s Felsenreitschule theatre to commemorate the 200th anniversary The musical includes the famous carol and references the song’s origins soldiers in the trenches on the Flanders front laid down their rifles and helmets and sang Silent Night although many of the Silent Night sites are open year-round “As much as we have lived with Silent Night in Salzburgerland it has taken a long time to raise awareness and pride in this unique Alpine cultural treasure,” Bauernberger said “The anniversary is thus the perfect occasion for us to take this newly created consciousness out to people all

first night is unknown only noted that the song received approval And it’s not known whether the song was performed on subsequent Christmas Eves “We don’t know how people reacted,” said Neureiter, who holds a special bond to the song’s composer: he grew up in the house in Hallein where Gruber spent the last years of his life, pursuing his passion for music.

The design was constructed by local farmers who wanted to honor their patron saint, Bruder Klaus of the 15th century. © Samuel Ludwig www.samueltludwig.comArguably the most interesting aspects of the church are found in the methods of construction, beginning with a wigwam made of 112 tree trunks. Upon completion of the frame, layers of concrete were poured and rammed atop the existing surface, each around 50cm thick. When the concrete of all 24 layers had set, the wooden frame was set on fire, leaving behind a hollowed blackened cavity and charred walls. © Samuel Ludwig www.samueltludwig.comThe unique roofing surface of the interior is balanced by a floor of frozen molten lead. Gaze is pulled up by way of obvious directionality, to the point where the roof is open to the sky and night stars. This controls the weather of the chapel, as rain and sunlight both penetrate the opening and create an ambience or experience very specific to the time of day and year. On a sunny day, this oculus resembles the flare of a star that can be attributed to a reference of Brother Klaus’s vision in the womb. The very somber and reflective feelings that become inevitable in one’s encounter with the chapel make it one of the most striking pieces of religious architecture to date. With no plumbing, bathrooms, running water, electricity, and with it’s charred concrete and lead floors, the seemingly uninviting chapel remains an anticipated destination for many. © Samuel Ludwig www.samueltludwig.com“To me, buildings can have a beautiful silence that I associate with attributes such as composure, self-evidence, durability, presence, and integrity, and with warmth and sensuousness as well; a building that is being itself, being a building, not representing anything, just being.” © Thomas MayerRecognized around the world for his stunning architecture designs, Peter Zumthor was awarded the Pritzker Prize in 2009 You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email Krohma Music released ‘Dance Chabad’ a music video featuring a medley of joyous Chabad Niggunim Avremi G and Kapelle Choir led by Yossi Cohen Avremi G and Kapelle Choir led by Yossi Cohen “We are thrilled and humbled to present this compilation of Classic Chabad Niggunim during Kislev a month so filled with special and noteworthy dates in the Chabad calendar these wonderful and significant historical highlights continue throughout the month The incomparable talents of Benny Friedman Yossi Cohen & Kapelle along with Nochi Krohn conducting the dynamic and exciting KROHMA Band bring yet another revitalization of these timeless Niggunim into your homes and into your hearts Kurdistan Economy Interviews Reports Condolences multimedia Related Links What makes a chapel? Michèle Woodger examines 14 examples that help answer that question Ten chapels, by high-profile architects, comprised the Vatican’s first ever Venice Bienniale pavilion this year. Their inspiration was Erik Gunnar Asplund’s 1920s Woodland Chapel. Set amid evergreen trees, this modest building blends classicism with Swedish vernacular. In curator Francesco Dal Co’s words, it ‘defines the chapel as a place of orientation, encounter and meditation.’ What it meant by transcendence? It is almost impossible to articulate. The experience of being outside oneself, when intellectual reasoning, emotional feeling and physical sensation collide – this is perhaps the closest we can get to defining it. Zumthor, Le Corbusier, Eero Saarinen, Jørn Utzon, Tadao Ando and innumerable other architects have mastered the use of light to breathtaking effect. But who better understands the elusive, ephemeral qualities of light than the artist? Now New York artist Ellsworth Kelly joins Chagall, Matisse and Rothko. Before his death in 2015, Kelly, known for minimalist, abstract works such as Yellow Curve (Tate Gallery) gifted the concepts for an unrealised, secular, chapel-like space to the Blanton Museum of Art, University of Austin. The monumental work was completed this year thanks to the input of Texas-based Overland Architects. James Lancaster and Rick Archer’s team faced unique challenges. Every aesthetic decision had to be sanctioned by Kelly (before he passed away) as well as fulfilling the requirements for viable and safe construction. Kelly’s secular chapel draws heavily on Christian traditions. It is a limestone, barrel-vaulted, cruciform building. A redwood ‘Totem’ form becomes an altar while on the walls are abstract marble Stations of the Cross. Three facades have coloured glass windows, inspired by Chartres Cathedral in France, titled Colour Grid, Starburst and Tumbling Squares. Kelly was preoccupied with reducing colour to its essential elements. The architects – and the glass manufacturers – had not only to match pigments to Kelly’s palette, but also ensure that the filtered light appeared faithful to the artist’s vision in situ. These numinous coloured squares now illuminate the stark walls of the cavernous interior, contrasting dramatically with black granite floors. Kelly wants you to ‘rest your eyes, rest your mind’ in his building. In Matisse’s Chapel du Rosaire, Vence, leafy patterns from the windows dance about, as if celebrating the artist’s second chance at life. Austin, Kelly’s swansong, is a place of ‘calm, quiet joy’ says Lancaster. ‘No matter what is going on in your life, when you step inside, you experience joy.’ An utterly different project is the multiple award-winning Winton Chapel at the University of Winchester, by Design Engine. The original 1880s Gothic Revival building was restored, and a new extension added to the north side. The tiny addition – aptly named the Anchorage – is constrained on all sides by existing buildings, but its intelligent and unexpected design makes it shine. Externally, the extension is clad in anodised aluminium panels, which gleam with a gold finish in sunlight. At night, light glows through the diaphanous outer skin through a coloured glass cross-shaped window, to stark effect. This sculptural chapel is both striking and serene; surrounded by a calm pool, it appears to float on the water’s surface. Reflections continue indoors with a polished terrazzo floor, emphasising the contrasts of light and shadow of whitewashed ceiling’s curves. The design is inspired by local historic Cape Dutch gables as well as simple 19th century Moravian mission stations. The plan is simple and rectangular, allowing the inside to function as an assembly space. Furnishings are simple and neutral – wood and brass – to emphasise the spectacular views. The curvilinear roof suggests graceful movement, like a flock of migrating birds. The brief referred to Psalm 36:7: ‘How precious, O God, is your constant love!
