Well, since that area is at the heart of the media landscape in London let's focus on that aspect of Golden Square

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Sq…
"The square was possibly laid down by Sir Christopher Wren; the plan bears Wren's signature..."

Christopher Wren? He did St Andrew Church Holborn , didn't he?

"It very rapidly became the political and ambassadorial district of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, housing the Portuguese embassy among others..
In film, fiction and the media :

The square is the setting of the third part of Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle, The System of the World

And get back to The central church of the English Ordinariate's spat with Fr Calvin

not a reference to the Calvinists, I'm sure, in this #TheatreOfTheAbsurd🙄

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvinism
Notes
churchmilitant.com/news/article/o…

"Monsignor Keith Newton, the ordinary of Our Lady of Walsingham Ordinariate, and Fr. Mark Elliott Smith, rector of Warwick Street church, banned the Rev. Calvin Robinson from filming an Easter special at the Ordinariate's central church after complaints..
🥱
Let's see what Scientific American has to say about that Ishtar meme👆

blogs.scientificamerican.com/anthropology-i…

" it is well known that under the Roman Empire, Christianity did indeed adopt the pagan rituals of conquered peoples..
" in an effort to help convert them. It worked pretty well as a strategy ..However, there are a few things wrong with the Ishtar meme .. Ishtar was the goddess of love and war and sex, as well as protection, fate, childbirth, marriage, and storms..
Her cult practiced sacred prostitution, where women waited at a temple and had sex with a stranger in exchange for a divine blessing (and money to feed hungry children or pay a debt)."

Sacred prostitution? 🤔Do go on..
"Ishtar's symbols were the the lion,
the morning star [aka Venus ],
and eight or sixteen pointed stars—again, symbols of power."..
"The word Easter does not appear to be derived from Ishtar, but from the German Eostre, the goddess of the dawn—a bringer of light...
Three Hares Notes📔🤫🤫🤫
Scientific American : "Ancient Egyptians believed in a primeval egg from which the sun god hatched. Alternatively, the sun was sometimes discussed as an egg itself, laid daily by the celestial goose, Seb, the god of the earth. The Phoenix is said to have emerged from this egg. .
"The cosmic egg, according to the Vedic writings, has a spirit living within it which will be born, die, and be born yet again. .

Brahma does likewise, and we find parallels in the ancient legends of Thoth and Ra ..
"The Phoenix was adopted as a Christian symbol in the first century AD. It appears on funeral stones in early Christian art, churches, religious paintings, and stonework. .."..
"Even the act of coloring eggs is tied to the idea of rebirth and resurrection. .. the link between life and eggs was traditionally made by using a red coloring. Among Christians, red symbolizes the blood of Jesus.."
Article ends rather insipidly "I love the Easter traditions at Church. .. blah, blah"

Written by Krystal D'Costa , an anthropologist working in digital media in New York City.

Kinda reminded me of this
Oh wait.. just for fun

as Princess Leia as Ishtar
