Barnovschi Church
The Barnovschi Church ( ro, Biserica Barnovschi) is a Romanian Orthodox church located at 26 Ghica Vodă Street in Iași, Romania. It is dedicated to the Dormition of the Mother of God and to Saints Joachim and Anna. History Building of the church began in 1627, in the second year of Prince Miron Barnovschi-Movilă's reign. In the foundation act, he listed himself and his mother, the nun Elisafta, as ''ktitor''s. As he left the country in 1629, to return only briefly, completion of the work fell to his executors, Iancu Costin and Matei Gavrilaș. At some point prior to June 1633, Barnovschi asked them to sell his properties in Poland and use the money to finish the church, which he had already placed under control of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Prior to departing for Constantinople, where he was beheaded, he also asked that he be buried in Moldavia. Vasile Lupu carried out this wish, but no record was kept of where the burial took place. Paul of Aleppo claimed that Miron ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Throne Of God
The Throne of God is the reigning centre of God in the Abrahamic religions: primarily Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The throne is said by various holy books to reside beyond the Seventh Heaven which is called ''Araboth'' ( ''‘ărāḇōṯ'') in Judaism,. Many in the Christian religion consider the ceremonial chair as symbolizing or representing an allegory of the holy Throne of God. Judaism Micaiah ( 1 Kings 22:19), Isaiah (Isaiah 6), Ezekiel (Ezekiel 1) and Daniel (Daniel 7:9) all speak of God's throne although some philosophers, such as Saʿadiah Gaon and Maimonides, interpreted such mention of a "throne" as allegory. The heavenly throne room or throne room of God is a more detailed presentation of the throne, into the representation of throne room or divine court. Micaiah's throneroom vision Micaiah's extended prophecy (1 Kings 22:19) is the first detailed depiction of a heavenly throne room in Judaism.
