Joumana Khalaf  · 14小時  · Rose Petal Ceremony at the Pantheon of Rome

The spectacular tradition of rose petals fluttering down through the oculus of the Pantheon - held yearly for the Feast of Pentecost.

Fire-fighters drop tens of thousands of rose petals into the interior of the Pantheon, symbolizing the Holy Spirit’s descent to Earth.

Studying Roman concrete could help engineers today. Increasing concrete’s lifespan would mean less repair and renovation was needed, helping buildings last longer. Read how: https://econ.trib.al/GqmGA2F

Roman concrete is known to defy the centuries without losing much of its firmness. How this happens is only now coming to light

The Panthéon (French: [pɑ̃.te.ɔ̃], from the Classical Greek word πάνθειον, pántheion, '[temple] to all the gods')^[1] is a monument in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, France. It stands in the Latin Quarter, atop the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève, in the centre of the Place du Panthéon, which was named after it. The edifice was built between 1758 and 1790, from designs by Jacques-Germain Soufflot, at the behest of King Louis XV of France; the king intended it as a church dedicated to Saint Genevieve, Paris' patron saint, whose relics were to be housed in the church. Neither Soufflot nor Louis XV lived to see the church completed.

Interment in the crypt is severely restricted and is allowed only by a parliamentary act for "National Heroes". Similar high honours exist in Les Invalides for historical military leaders such as Napoléon, Turenne and Vauban.

張谷若 網路緣：萬神殿是天使建造的；哈代『無名的裘德』、嘉德橋市長


1999年9月，我寫篇介紹萬神殿的文章。提出一句卷末的意大利文，我不懂，向可能的讀者求教。也許兩年之後，一位年青朋友說：


『針對1999/09《The Pantheon》以米開蘭基羅的話Disegno angelico e non umano（有人知道此句請賜知）這句話，我在另一網站有看到其解釋，「這是天使建造的」，特提出以提供參考。from：小葉的窩』


2004/12/13 我再訪http://www.taconet.com.tw/bogod 的「古老的傳說」，知道是葉高雄先生的網址。【萬神殿是古羅馬建築中，品質最佳、保存得最完整的建築物。這是為了祭祀萬神，於西元前２７年，由阿格利帕興建的。其後於１１９－１２８年，哈德連皇帝將之修改為現今的模樣。據傳，當米開朗基羅見到這座教堂時，不禁發出「這是天使建造的」的感言。走進萬神殿，每個人的目光都會被圓頂的大洞所吸引。此洞稱為「眼」，直徑９公尺，是由外部取光，殿內唯一的窗戶。大圓頂的直徑４３.３公尺，比聖彼得大教堂４２公尺的圓頂略勝一籌。義大利統一後，萬神殿成為國王的陵墓所在，除此，還埋葬一些偉大的義大利的藝術家，其中以拉斐爾最著名。】

1999年，我可能還不懂得google（可能也不會中文打字），所以不會上網查The Pantheon http://gnv.fdt.net/~aabbeama/Christmas/Pantheon.html

An up-close look at Giovanni Paolo Panini’s masterful 18th-century painting of the Roman Pantheon

In Panini's day, as in our own, the Pantheon was one of the great tourist attractions in Rome.

Built under the emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, this monumental pagan domed temple remains in situ, but it is now a Catholic church. Panini's depiction of the structure is populated with foreign visitors and a lively mix of Romans from all social strata who congregate in the Pantheon to pray, to chat, and to admire the wondrous architecture.

Take an even closer look at this masterpiece from the 1700s go.usa.gov/x63au

Pantheon

The Pantheon (UK: /ˈpænθiən/, US: /-ɒn/;^[1] Latin: Pantheum,^{[nb 1]} from Greek Πάνθειον Pantheion, "[temple] of all the gods") is a former Roman temple and since the year 609 a Catholic church (Basilica di Santa Maria ad Martyres or Basilica of St. Mary and the Martyrs), in Rome, Italy, on the site of an earlier temple commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD). It was rebuilt by the emperor Hadrian and probably dedicated c. 126 AD. Its date of construction is uncertain, because Hadrian chose not to inscribe the new temple but rather to retain the inscription of Agrippa's older temple, which had burned down.^[2]

The building is cylindrical with a portico of large granite Corinthian columns (eight in the first rank and two groups of four behind) under a pediment. A rectangular vestibule links the porch to the rotunda, which is under a coffered concrete dome, with a central opening (oculus) to the sky. Almost two thousand years after it was built, the Pantheon's dome is still the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome.^[3] The height to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circle are the same, 43 metres (142 ft).^[4]
