"Holies: Sacred Spaces and Divine Encounters Across Cultures" From the majestic Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut in Egypt to the intricate Tibetan Path series, holiness permeates various corners of our world. In 1924, India ink on paper laid on cardboard brought forth "The Holies, " a captivating depiction that invites us into an ethereal realm. Angels with four wings soar through the heavens, bridging earthly realms with celestial spheres. Their presence echoes ancient beliefs and traditions, such as the Ark of the Covenant—an embodiment of divine power and protection. Egyptian art unveils another facet of holiness within the Great Temple of Ramses II. The Holy stands as a testament to reverence and devotion—a sacred space where mortals communed with deities. Journeying further into Jewish temples reveals holy rooms adorned with sanctity. Within these hallowed walls resided objects like the Ark Covenant—symbols that connected humanity to higher realms. Even in newer Jerusalem suburbs, Abyssinian Church interiors exude an aura of sanctitude. These spaces serve as reminders that holiness transcends time and geography, touching hearts across generations. Willem Goeree Jan Luyken's Tabernacle painting from 1683 transports us back to biblical times when Solomons Temple stood tall—the epitome of architectural grandeur housing the Holy itself. Yet history also tells tales filled with turmoil; Romans sacked Jerusalem but failed to extinguish its spiritual flame. Through destruction rose resilience—a testament to unwavering faith even amidst chaos. Holies beckon us into their embrace—a gateway between mortal existence and divine transcendence. They remind us that beyond physical structures lie intangible connections—spiritual threads weaving together diverse cultures under one universal truth: there is something greater than ourselves waiting to be discovered within these sacred spaces.
