Before Canada went insane they built some of the most beautiful churches on earth. 🧵 Image
Notre Dame Basilica is located in the historic district of Old Montreal. Image
Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré Image
St. Mary's Basilica (Halifax, Nova Scotia) Image
Night scene of St. Joseph's Oratory in Montreal, Quebec, Canada Image
St. Peter's Cathedral Basilica, London Ontario

I hope to visit all of these beautiful churches before the Trudeau administration allows them to be burned to the ground like 33 other churches in Canada since 2021.

Let’s raise awareness before they are gone!! Image

Every year, from 1920 to 1943, the Tolkien children received letters from Father Christmas hilmself.

They came with tales and illustrations of Santa Claus and his helpers — each with a North Pole stamp designed by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Here’s the story behind them... (thread)📷 Image
In 1920, Tolkien’s first Father Christmas letter arrived at the Oxford home of his three-year-old son, John.

It was hand-painted and carried a whimsical North Pole stamp priced at "2 kisses." Image
The card depicted a red-coated white-bearded figure walking through snow, alongside a snow-covered yurt tucked behind pine trees, captioned "Me" and "My House."

It was the start of a heartwarming family tradition that lasted 23 years. Image

Unpopular opinion: Christopher Columbus was a hero.

He singlehandedly carried the torch of Christianity and Western civilization across the ocean, lighting the dawn of a new world.

A thread on one of the most courageous explorers in history 🧵 Image
"I should not proceed by land to the East, as is custom, but by a Westerly route, in which direction we have hitherto no certain evidence that any one has gone."

Columbus wrote this on August 3, 1492.

Can you imagine the bravery it took to even consider such a journey? Image
It cannot be overstated: Columbus literally crossed the Atlantic and opened the Americas to Europe.

That single act set in motion a series of cultural, religious, and intellectual exchanges that have defined the modern world. Image

Gen Z is rediscovering sacred music. They are drawn to the otherworldliness of it. 🧵

1. Katie Marshall sings a cappella in the Cloisters of Gloucester Cathedral
2. Blind girl sings Amazing Grace a cappella in a church
3. Composed in 1638, Allegri’s Miserere was originally intended to only be sung during Holy Week, and to never leave the Sistine Chapel in order to preserve the mystery of the music.

Here it is performed by St Paul’s Cathedral Choir.

Today is the Feast of St Francis of Assisi

A thread on the beauty of Assisi, Italy 🧵 Image
1. The Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, begun in 1228, includes two churches (Upper and Lower) and a crypt with the saint’s remains.

Francis was buried on 25 May 1230 under the Lower Basilica, but its burial site remained a mystery until its rediscovery in 1818. Image
2. Assisi, in Umbria, is both the birthplace and resting place of Saint Francis, and its basilica dates back to 1228.

Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is an iconic Christian pilgrimage destination and serves as an important example of the Gothic style in Italy.
