The Steinwald is a mountain range up to in southern Germany and, at the same time, a nature park (Steinwald Nature Park) founded in 1970 with an area of in the province of Upper Palatinate, in North Bavaria. |
27339850_1_0 | 27339850 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinwald | Steinwald | Steinwald. Geographical location
The Steinwald lies south of the Upper Franconian county town of Marktredwitz and north of Erbendorf in the district of Tirschenreuth. The Steinwald is separated from the Fichtelgebirge to the northwest by the Waldershof trough (Waldershofer Senke) and from the Upper Palatine Forest to the southeast by the Waldnaab-Wondreb-trough. |
27339850_1_1 | 27339850 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinwald | Steinwald | Steinwald. Mountains and hills
The mountains and hills in the range and in the Steinwald Nature Park include the following − in order of height in metres (m) above sea level (NN): |
27339850_1_2 | 27339850 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinwald | Steinwald | Steinwald. Geology
Like the Fichtelgebirge, the Steinwald consists mainly of granite. In the south and east it is surrounded by a basalt landscape of Kuppen - gentle, rounded summits - (Kemnather Land, Nördlicher Steinwald), whose most striking elevations are the Parkstein near Weiden, the Rauhe Kulm near Kemnath, the Schlossberg near Waldeck, the Armesberg, the Teichelberg and the Ruheberg. Numerous granite blocks and rock 'bastions' are found in the Steinwald, often with fantastic shapes. They have odd names such as Katzentrögel, Zipfeltannenfelsen oder Saubadfelsen. |
27339850_1_3 | 27339850 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinwald | Steinwald | Steinwald. Geography
The Steinwald is still rich in precious stones, including for example agate and jasper, ore and rock types. Ores such as siderite, limonite and haematite occur too. These ores used to be mined, especially in the Middle Ages; today the remaining supplies are too small and too scattered to enable them to be extracted profitably. |
27339850_1_4 | 27339850 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinwald | Steinwald | Steinwald. Geography
The Steinwald is frequently seen as an extension of the Fichtelgebirge mountains. But geological investigations have proved this to be wrong; the granite in the Steinwald is considerably softer than the Fichtelgebirge granite and, unlike the latter, contains no lithium. In addition it is younger than the Fichtelgebirge, as evinced by the numerous deposits of basalt and chalk.
The Steinwald is also rich in springs. Water often bubbles out of rock crevices and has a good quality. It also has one of the most iron-rich springs in the whole of the Europe, the King Otto Spring in King-Otto-Bad near Wiesau, which is named after the brother of the Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria, Otto I of Greece. Even today the water is bottled by the firm of King-Otto-Sprudel. |
27339850_1_5 | 27339850 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinwald | Steinwald | Steinwald. Geography
The soil quality in the Steinwald depends on the dominant rock locally. Its extremely varied soils can be divided into about four types:
From the rocks on the edge of the Steinwald (phyllite, quartzite, sands and kaolin clays), soils are formed that are predominantly acidic and poor in nutrients.
The granite in the Steinwald has left behind mostly deep, weathered soils with medium levels of nutrients.
Basalt weathering has formed tightly bordered soils with a good supply of nutrients.
Other good soils are those affected by groundwater and dammed lakes, often accompanied by the formation of bogs. |
27339850_1_6 | 27339850 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinwald | Steinwald | Steinwald. Climate
The climate in the Steinwald has Alpine characteristics. It is not snow-free until the middle of May. Giant snowdrifts and severe snow storms render paths and trails impassable in winter. A short spring follows the long and harsh winter; summer has more precipitation and is followed by a mild and fine autumn. Average annual temperatures lie between 4 and 5 °C, average precipitation is about 15 cm. |
27339850_1_7 | 27339850 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinwald | Steinwald | Steinwald. Nature
The woods of the Steinwald consist mainly of conifers, with spruce as the dominant species. The proportion of deciduous trees has risen, however, from 25.1% in 1987 to 30.4% in 2002. Berry bushes provide much of the ground cover, especially blueberries and cranberries, and cryptogams - lichens and mosses - are widespread. The seven-petalled Arctic starflower, the symbol of the Fichtelgebirge Club, occurs here and ferns also abound in the woods. |
27339850_1_8 | 27339850 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinwald | Steinwald | Steinwald. Geography
Wild animals in the Steinwald, such as the red deer, wild boar, red fox, weasel, polecat, stoat and, more recently, the lynx, are almost only found in the more remote areas of woodland. Woodpeckers, goshawks, eagle-owls, tawny owls live in the high treetops, as do pygmy owls and the Tengmalm's owl. Enjoying special projection birds that would otherwise become rare such as the black storks and the capercaillie, which still occur in low numbers in the Steinwald. |
27339850_1_9 | 27339850 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinwald | Steinwald | Steinwald. Forest damage
The forest is exposed to many dangers. Chief among the concerns of forest owners and foresters is the almost annual weather damage:
Wind and storm damage in the eastern Steinwald
Rime and ice breakage in the highlands and
Tree breakage under the weight of snow in the entire nature park area.
Dealing with damaged areas of the forest ties up a lot of effort and means that sometimes long-term forestry work suffers. On the other hand, the heavily thinned areas of forest result in a rapid transformation that helps to prevent attack by bark beetle. |
27339850_1_10 | 27339850 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinwald | Steinwald | Steinwald. Geography
For a good 20 years new forms of forest damage have appeared in the High Steinwald that go under the name of Waldsterben or forest dieback. Today the Steinwald in Northeast Bavaria is one of the main areas of concern. This is due to the high levels of sulphur dioxide emission from the burning of brown coal in the nearby Eger Basin, to acid rain and to the many days of mist and fog. The forest damage, which is clearly visible, has remained since 1986 at about the same level of 32%. Research to date has shown that its causes are complex and involve biotic and abiotic factors, however environmental pollution plays a significant role.
Forestry management measures include fertilising in order to counteract the lack of magnesium which causing a yellowing of the pine needles. So that no treeless steppes appear as on the heights of the Ore Mountains, the damaged highlands are planted. The Kemnath Forestry Department has done this on about . |
27339850_1_11 | 27339850 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinwald | Steinwald | Steinwald. Walking
Many holidaymakers visit the Steinwald to go walking. The long-distance trails through the Steinwald are:
The Burgenweg is marked with yellow-blue-yellow signs. It runs from Marktredwitz to the castle ruins of Weißenstein and continues on into the Upper Palatinate.
The Goldsteig, a 600 kilometre long trail through the Upper Palatine Forest and Bavarian Forest, begins in the Steinwald. It runs past the ruins of Weißenstein Castle.
The Steinwaldweg is marked with a red and white rectangle. It is one of the main hiking trails of the Fichtelgebirge Club and runs from the top of the Kösseine to the Platte and from there to the ruins of Weißenstein Castle. The end of the 38 kilometre long route is in Waldsassen.
The Südweg, also a main hiking trail for the Fichtelgebirge Club, is marked by a black S on a yellow background, and runs from Neuenmarkt to the Armesberg. From here the 68 kilometre long trail runs past the Waldhaus to Wiesau, where it finishes. |
27339850_1_12 | 27339850 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinwald | Steinwald | Steinwald. Geography
From the walker's car park north of Pfaben an educational trail leads to some of the natural attractions of the Steinwald. In addition, there are circular walks starting from Friedenfels and Erbendorf. The High Steinwald may be reached on trails running from Neusorg, Waldershof, Marktredwitz, Poppenreuth, Fuchsmühl, Friedenfels and Erbendorf. |

He is a longtime mainstay of the National Wrestling League and House of Pain Wrestling Federation as one-half of Old School with Scott Vaughn. One of the promotion's most dominant and popular tag teams, they have won the HoPWF Tag Team Championship twice and the NWL Tag Team Championship three times. One of their title reigns lasted a record of 2-years. |

Featherstone has also held the NWL Tag Team titles with Spazman Anthony and John Rambo as well as being a former 3-time HoPWF Heavyweight Champion. He is also involved with the promotion's wrestling school. |
27339854_1_0 | 27339854 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin%20Featherstone | Kevin Featherstone | Kevin Featherstone. Early life and career
Kevin Featherstone was born in Washington, D.C. on February 26, 1971, and later moved to Sterling, Virginia. A wrestling fan growing up, he was fan of "Mr. USA" Tony Atlas and Bruiser Brody. He also recalled that he and his friends would play mock battle royals in his backyard after watching wrestling on Saturday nights. Shortly after graduating high school, he became interested in becoming a professional wrestler himself. He followed up on some newspaper and magazine ads and nearly went to a wrestling camp in North Carolina run by Ivan Koloff. After working the late shift at Pizza Hut, Featherstone was watching late night wrestling at a friend's house when he saw a commercial for Max Thrasher's AWF Training Center in Hanover, Pennsylvania. |
27339854_1_1 | 27339854 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin%20Featherstone | Kevin Featherstone | Kevin Featherstone. Career
Thrasher agreed to train him and Featherstone eventually made his professional debut in 1987. He spent the next several years wrestling on and off in various independent promotions in the Mid-Atlantic and East Coast region, during which time he helped set up rings and other maintenance, until the late 1990s. |

In early-2001, a friend of Featherstone's did a brief two-week stint for the National Wrestling League and House of Pain Wrestling Federation shortly after graduating from Axl Rotten's Bone Breaker Training Center in Baltimore. Afterwards, he told Featherstone about its "open door" policy and contacted promoter John Rambo. He was invited into the NWL/HoPWF and, after a period of training, joined the promotion within the year. |
27339854_1_4 | 27339854 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin%20Featherstone | Kevin Featherstone | Kevin Featherstone. Career
In one of his earliest matches for the promotion, Featherstone was disqualified in a wild bout against Johnny Dowe in Ben Salem, Pennsylvania when he hit referee Mike DiMuzio. That same month, he took part in a 4 Way Dance with Master of Disaster, Jake "The Machine" Davis and "Epic" Cashis Carter in Ben Salem on August 28, 2001. While he and Cashis Carter were brawling outside the ring, Master of Disaster ended up winning the match via referee decision. On May 18, 2002, Featherstone faced NWL Heavyweight Champion John Rambo in his first "hardcore wrestling" match. The ring ropes and corner were wrapped in barbed wire while 20 lumberjacks stood at ringside. |
27339854_1_5 | 27339854 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin%20Featherstone | Kevin Featherstone | Kevin Featherstone. Career
Featherstone won his first title defeating Spazman Brian Anthony for the HoPWF Heavyweight Championship in Hagerstown, Maryland on October 15, 2002. He held the title for almost 2 months before losing it to Aidean in Greencastle, Pennsylvania on December 7, 2002. At the end of the month, he and Spazman Anthony won the NWL Tag Team Championship from The Highwaymen (Leslie Leatherman and Jake "The Machine" Davis) on December 28, 2002, although their alliance lasted a few weeks when Featherstone was forced to surrender the belts back to Leatherman and Davis when Anthony no-showed a scheduled title defense a week later. On February 8, 2003, he and John Rambo unexpectedly ended The Highwaymen's third title reign and defended the titles for over three months until their loss to Leatherman & Flex Fenom on May 24. |

Nick Knight (born Nicholas de Brabant) is the main character of the Canadian television series Forever Knight, and its precursor 1989 television movie Nick Knight. He also appears in three novels, A Stirring of Dust by Susan Sizemore, Intimations of Mortality by Susan M. Garrett, and These Our Revels by Anne Hathaway Nayne. |

The character's backstory is revealed piecemeal, primarily through the flashback scenes that appear in most episodes of the television series. He was born circa A.D. 1200; and, in many episodes, employs the name "Nicolas de Brabant", suggesting that he comes from the Duchy of Brabant in the Low Countries. He was born of a noble family, and trained as a knight. After being falsely accused of murder, he chose to fight in the Crusades to escape nearly certain conviction. On his return to Europe in A.D. 1228, he was seduced by a vampire in disguise, Janette DuCharme, who introduced him to her master, Lucien LaCroix. LaCroix offered Knight immortality, which he accepted, becoming a vampire. After spending centuries hunting and killing to sustain himself, Knight rejected the vampire lifestyle, and became a homicide detective in the Metropolitan Police in order to redeem himself. |

Nick Knight was born Nicholas de Brabant, of a noble family from the Duchy of Brabant circa A.D. 1200. Trained as a knight under Sir Raymond DeLabarre, he was sent to Wales on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church to investigate pagan activities. While there, he fell in love with a Welsh noblewoman, Gwyneth. DeLabarre killed Gwyneth in order to quell a pending pagan revolt, and blamed Knight for her death. Knight was offered to fight in the Crusades instead of facing a trial he could not win, and accepted the offer. After several years spent in the Holy Land, Knight returned to Europe in A.D. 1228, disillusioned and embittered, and became a drunkard. |

While drunk, he meets Janette DuCharme, who intrigues him with the lure of immortality. She then introduces him to Lucien LaCroix, and Knight discovers that Janette and LaCroix are vampires and wanted to "bring him across" (make him a vampire). LaCroix tempts him with the prospect of having eternal life and youth as well as power beyond his imagination, and Knight accepts. Nicholas is brought to the catacombs of Paris for his first "feeding", in which Nicholas must kill a mortal for their blood. After some brief hesitation, Knight kills the first of what would become many victims, and fully embraces life as a vampire. |

Although it is never mentioned in any episode, writer James D. Parriott said that he wrote a backstory explaining the reasons for this disillusionment. In this backstory, Knight was captured by Muslims and spent several years being tortured in prison. This caused him to lose faith in God, and left him vulnerable to suggestion by Janette and LaCroix. |

Upon becoming a vampire, Knight gained several supernatural abilities and weaknesses, many commonly associated with vampires, and some original to the series. |

As a vampire, Knight possess enhanced senses; infrared vision, enhanced hearing, superhuman strength, preternatural speed and agility, is able to regenerate critical wounds over small amounts of time, and is able to fly. His body is also very resilient to the elements, being immune to the effects of cold, poison, illnesses and diseases, and his heart beats only once per 10 minutes. One of his most useful powers is the ability to perform hypnosis on some, but not all people (those able to resist hypnosis are known as resisters), which will help several times during his work with the Metropolitan Toronto Police. Amongst his weakness are a deadly aversion to sunlight, violent allergic reactions to foods (but not all liquids), an allergy to smelling garlic, a compulsion to look away from Holy objects and religious symbols, and coming into contact with crucifixes and holy water will cause his flesh to burn. Like others vampires in fiction, Knight is immortal, he does not physically age beyond the point of his vampire transformation nor is he vulnerable to the effects of old age or natural death, but can be killed by exposure to sunlight, having a wooden stake driven through his heart, fire, or decapitation. |

Knight appears human in normal circumstances, although he rarely perspires – and when he does, he does not perspire sweat, but rather blood – and his skin is cold to the touch. Knight will reveal his vampire traits when threatened, or when becoming aggressive. This is known as vamping out by the fans of the series, but it is never referred as such during the series. When taking a vampire aspect, Knight's eyes turn yellow, and bares the stereotypical vampire fangs. Amongst the common vampire traits found in fiction, Knight does not possess the ability to shapeshift into a bat, and is not inclined to sleep in a coffin. He also does not lose any of his vampire abilities upon at dawn, although exposure to sunlight is still fatal. |

In the Forever Knight universe, vampires rarely stay more than a few years in one place in order to keep their true identifies concealed. He thus engages in centuries of killings and murders accompanied by Janette and LaCroix. Janette and Knight were lovers, but Janette ended it; while Knight was initially devastated, he eventually accepted her decision and remain on good terms with her. After centuries of indiscriminate killing, Knight started to feel guilt and resolves to only kill those who deserved death. He also has regrets over his choice to become a vampire, and desires to regain his mortality and humanity. Knight will spend most of the Forever Knight series trying to find a way to become human once again. This is met with amusement from other vampires, but LaCroix finds these thoughts unacceptable; this difference of opinions will be the source of great conflicts between the two over the span of the entire series. |

Over the series Knight is seen with several historical figures such as Joan of Arc, Arthur Conan Doyle, Ludwig van Beethoven, Jack the Ripper, Grigori Rasputin and Adolf Hitler. LaCroix and Knight, being bonded by blood, also share a psychic bond and are able to sense each other over short distances, and predisposes Knight to Lacroix's suggestions (it does not make him his mental slave however). His long life also allowed him to master several languages in addition to his native French – Cantonese, English, German, Italian, Latin, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, Spanish and Vietnamese. |

By 1992, Nick had re-established himself in Toronto, Canada, and works for the Metropolitan Toronto Police as Homicide Detective Nicholas (Nick) Knight as a way to seek penance and atone for his past behaviour. While he still fights his hunger for human blood, Knight has not killed anyone for blood in the last 100 years, and now subsists on cow blood instead. His policing work also allows him to reconnect with human society. |

His superior officer, Captain Joseph Stonetree, initially had misgivings about Knight, but tolerated him because he turned out to be an excellent detective. Originally, Knight worked alone, but was eventually partnered with Detective Donald Schanke, his polar opposite in terms of personality and approach to police work, but of equal competence. The two initially butted heads, but came to respect and trust each other, essentially becoming bona fide "buddy cops". The duo also worked with Dr. Natalie Lambert, a coroner. |

Lambert is one of the few persons who discovered the true identity of Knight during the series – after a bomb explosion injures Knight, she finds him without any injury, and catches him drinking the blood samples in her lab. Nick tried to hypnotize her, but fails as she is one of the "resisters". Lambert is fascinated by his nature, and agrees to both keep his identity a secret, and help him regain his humanity. |

In Toronto, Nick would meet both LaCroix and Janette. He tries to destroy LaCroix by driving a flaming stake through his heart, but LaCroix manages to escape permanent death through means which are never revealed. LaCroix and Knight reach an uneasy truce, where LaCroix stops trying to actively thwart Knight's plan to become mortal again, but still tries to convince Nick to embrace his vampire nature as he once did. Knight also re-establishes a friendship with Janette, who now runs a nightclub, called The Raven, which is frequented by both humans and vampires. |

After the death of Donald Schanke in a plane accident, Nick is teamed up with Tracy Vetter, a recently promoted and capable detective who is often willing to take risks in order to prove herself. Like Schanke, Vetter was unaware that Nick was a vampire, but she was aware of the existence of vampires, having become friends with Javier Vachon, a member of the Toronto vampire community who was acquainted with Nick. Nick knew of Vetter's knowledge of both Vachon and vampires, but refused to reveal his own vampiric nature to her. |

In the last half of the final season, Nick began to lose ground in his quest for humanity. Natalie, who was developing strong romantic feelings for Nick grew impatient at Nick's lack of progress. On one night, Nick tried to hypnotize a suspect, but the trance was broken and a firefight occurred. The suspect shot Nick, but the bullets went through him and hit Tracy instead. Nick killed the suspect while displayed his vampire features, to a shocked Tracy who displayed disappointment that Nick never trusted her with this secret. |

Tracy is rushed to the hospital, but she was in critical condition and Nick considered turning her into a vampire, feeling guilty for what happened. Natalie chastises Nick for being willing to bring Tracy over, while he always refused her. Nick decides against, and Tracy dies from her wounds. In the same evening, Nick stops by The Raven to find LaCroix closing the club, explaining it was time for him to move on as the investigation of the night's event will expose him as a vampire, and will leave Toronto with or without Nick. Nick wishes to move on, but Natalie doesn't want him to leave and insists that Nick bring her across. Nick reluctantly agrees. |

Nick however tries to become human by drinking Natalie's blood, as Janette did. However, he draws too much blood and is forced to either complete the process, bringing Natalie over, or let her die. Not able to condemn Natalie to a life as a vampire, he decides to let her die and take his own life as well, reasoning that he will be reunited with her in the afterlife, and that God would forgive his many sins. Nick realizes that LaCroix had been his best friend in all these years, and hands LaCroix a wooden stake. |

LaCroix raises the stake, and the camera focuses elsewhere, leaving the final fate of Nick deliberately ambiguous to allow for the series to be picked up and continued. |

The Dunne D.7 was one of J. W. Dunne's swept wing tailless aircraft designed to have automatic stability, first flying in 1911. It was a single seat, single engined pusher monoplane developed from the unsuccessful D.6. |
27339959_1_0 | 27339959 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunne%20D.7 | Dunne D.7 | Dunne D.7. Design and development
Although J. W. Dunne is best known for his inherently stable tailless biplanes such as the D.8, he also developed a series of inherently stable monoplanes. He first submitted a monoplane design to the War Office when he joined the Army Balloon Factory at Farnborough in 1906, but they told him to build a biplane instead. |
27339959_1_1 | 27339959 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunne%20D.7 | Dunne D.7 | Dunne D.7. Design and development
It wasn't until Dunne left the Balloon Factory and started his own company, the Blair Atholl Aeroplane Syndicate Ltd., that a monoplane could be built. The D.6 was finished in 1911, with a 60 hp (45 kW) Green in a pusher configuration. Three A-frames supported the wing engine, pilot and undercarriage. All Dunne's tailless aircraft had swept wings with marked washout (reduction of angle of incidence) at the tips. Since sweepback placed the tips well behind the centre of gravity, they provided longitudinal (pitch) stability in just the same way as a conventional tailplane, mounted at lower incidence than the wing. The wing camber increased outwards, causing the outer leading edge to droop further. The inherent design of the wing provided some directional (yaw) stability, which was augmented on the D.6 using down-turned wingtips. The wing had wingtip elevons for control, though because of the down-turned tips these also provided some rudder-like forces. The D.6 was tested at Larkhill on Salisbury Plain in January 1911 but failed to take off. |
27339959_1_2 | 27339959 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunne%20D.7 | Dunne D.7 | Dunne D.7. Design and development
The D.7, major parts of which were built by Short Brothers, re-used the same wing but with a very different structure supporting it. The wing was straight edged, tapering from a central chord of 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) to 5 ft 0 in (1.52 m) at the tips. The leading edge was swept at 35°. The heavy A-frames were replaced with a pair of rectangular frames which extended above and below the wings, linked at the bottom by two transverse members. These frames served as double kingposts from which each wing was wire braced above and below. A substantial undercarriage structure was mounted at the bottom of the frames, comprising a long pair of skids which extended from the pusher propeller line well forward beyond the nacelle and curving strongly upwards. Each skid was multiply braced to its frame and inwards to the nacelle; the pair were joined by a cross strut near the forward tip. Both carried a pair of wheels and, at the rear, an articulated and sprung extension to absorb landing shocks. |
27339959_1_3 | 27339959 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunne%20D.7 | Dunne D.7 | Dunne D.7. Design and development
The nacelle that carried the pilot's seat and the engine behind him was no more than an open wooden framework. Initially, the same Green engine was used as before, driving a two bladed, 7 ft 3 in (2.21 m) diameter propeller. A tall, rectangular radiator was placed longitudinally above the wing, positioned to raise the centre of gravity as high as possible. A pair of levers, one for each hand, controlled the aircraft. |
27339959_1_4 | 27339959 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunne%20D.7 | Dunne D.7 | Dunne D.7. Design and development
This aircraft was tested at Eastchurch airfield on the Isle of Sheppey in June 1911, flown by Dunne. Designated the Dunne D.7 or D.7 Auto Safety. This was very similar to the D.6, but had a 1 ft (305 mm) shorter span and a 50 hp (37 kW) 7-cylinder Gnome rotary engine. It first appeared, not quite ready for flight, at the Olympia Aero Show in March 1911 and was on test at Eastchurch that June. Dunne was pleased with the improved performance. In January 1912 Dunne demonstrated the D.7 to members of the Royal Aeronautical Society, writing a note whilst flying hands off at 60 mph. |

The Dunne D.7 bis was an improved variant with a 70 hp (52 kW) Gnome rotary engine and capable of carrying a passenger. Having a shorter span wing, it was successfully flown at Villacoublay in France by both Dunne and N.S. Percival in April 1913. |

A Votive Church (votive from the Latin votum = vowed sacrifice, vows) is a church that was built as a sign of thanksgiving for salvation from an emergency or with a request for the fulfillment of a specific desire, and sometimes atonement. Often, the builder has previously made a vow to have the church built in the case of the prayer heard (takeover of the construction costs). The Votive churches also include so-called Thanksgiving churches: |
