PHOTO CHALLENGE in August
It is the travel blogger Maria's memoirs which organises the photo challenges and the theme for August is 'religious'. The theme can include anything from churches and temples to idols and people performing religious acts.
What an exciting theme! The most difficult thing has been to choose. We have a huge number of photos of beautiful, old or unusual churches and other religious buildings. In the end we had to decide on a small selection! You can also see previous themes here:
House of God
We have a lot of photos of churches, and I could do a separate post on beautiful churches. For now, here is a small selection of buildings in honour of God, an Orthodox church building, a mosque and a Catholic church from the inside.
Through the ages
One thing that fascinates us about religious buildings is that they often carry a lot of history. These places are magical to visit in many ways, both for the religious myths that may surround them and for everything that has happened in these places throughout history.
Worship
People around the world choose to pray or perform religious ceremonies. Here we have selected a photo showing Jews in Jerusalem, a photo showing Buddhists in Sri Lanka and a photo of a Catholic Easter procession in Spain.
Angels and goddesses
Sometimes it is exciting to approach the sculptures and paintings in religious buildings. Here are two photos from European churches and one from a cave temple in Sri Lanka.
Which of the photos do you like best? Do you have any photos of your own with religious content? If you have a blog - feel free to join in and make your own post with the August theme!

Religion is exciting and there is so much to associate with it. Very nice pictures where a lot of variations on the theme came with. I think and have my theme post tomorrow. Mostly stuck to the picture from the wall in Jerusalem.

Looking at your religious mix, I have to say that religion can be really beautiful. What a mix! Then you've experienced most religions. I wouldn't have had a single picture to contribute. I can't remember the last time I took a picture of a church...

I probably like the header image best because it was a bit different. And I also like the unassuming nature of the Catherine Monastery.

Nice pictures!!! Yes, there are a lot of stories in the church walls. The churches are also nice studios for paintings, mosaics etc. What a pity that I don't write a blog anymore - it would have been a fun challenge!
