Michael Denhoff, Komponist & Cellist's Friend Space (Top 40)
Michael Denhoff, Komponist & Cellist has 1962 friends.
Ananias was a Christ disciple in Damascus, to whom Jesus came in a vision and gave detailed instructions including what street (Straight Street) and what house (Judas' house) to go to in order to lay hands on Saul so that Saul would receive his sight back. Jesus was telling Ananias to go help the man who came to town to throw him in prison and would like to murder him. Wow, what an instruction and what a step of obedience by a Christ follower!
Straight Street (or in Latin, Via Recta), is the Roman street that runs from east to west in the old city of Damascus. It was visited by St. Paul as mentioned in the story of Paul's conversion to Christianity in Acts 9:10-19
Ananias Chapel in the basement of the Ananias house, Damascus
When Ananias arrives, he specifically addresses Saul as “brother”. What an example of the love and forgiveness that are fruit of a Christ follower’s life. Saul received his sight after Ananias (his enemy) laid his hands on him and he followed Christ that day.
The Syrian town "Bosra" is the site of some of the most spectacular Roman ruins in the world. Bosra is home to marvelous sites like the miraculously-preserved Roman amphitheatre, which can accommodate up to 15,000 people and is built in such a way that the sound from the stage can be heard from all corners of the theatre without the aid of technological equipment.
Bosra was the first Nabatean city in the 2nd century BC. The Nabatean Kingdom was conquered by Cornelius Palma, a general of Trajan, in 106. In its heyday, the theater was faced with marble and draped in silk hangings, and during performances a fine mist of perfumed water was sprayed over the patrons to keep them comfortable in the desert heart. A large area in front of the stage may have been used for circuses or gladiatorial shows.
Today, Bosra is a major archaeological site, containing ruins from Roman, Byzantine, and Muslim times. Every year there is a national music festival hosted in the theater.
I didn't actually know your work, but it seems to be very interesting.. nowadays there's to much media circulating, but it is obvious that if we be selective and we know where to seek new stuff, listening to new music might eventually become something very interesting.. and it was actually what happened when I found up your music in myspace.. so I just want to thank you for accepting my request, and inviting you to listen to some of my music, and give me your opinion.. even if it is private.. so thank you and have a nice week..
Thanks so much for the Add–and your friendship. We enjoyed your music very much. Thanks for sharing it with all of us. It's a pleasure having you among our friends! We've added two blogs about Umano, plus four more new compositions, making ten on our page. We hope you and your friends visit us and enjoy our music, too. We wake up every morning and play the music of the new MySpace friends who have arrived at our site during the night. It occurred to us that these friends (you are among them) are almost universally positive, whether they be novices or legends, and without regard to their station in life or the country they occupy. Although it's not an original thought, it also occurred to us that we couldn’t hold a verbal conversation with most of these friends, but we have bridged that gap by expressing our art honestly with each other. We all have been filling the world with our music and art, in the hope that our messages of love and human understanding will have an impact on the world at large. What a gift and what an opportunity we have received from this technology!
Hello Michael !!,...From November 09 to 16:00, until the 11th there will be some of my works exposed in Berlin in the gallery Gloria Evento, Markgrafenstr.67, 10969 - Berlin.
If you travel to Berlin already you take place to visit.
This Syrian village, Saidnaya, where houses are built around a rock with a very old convent at the top, is considered a place for religious pilgrimage.
A steep climb is the only way up to the convent, which is said to date back to the Emperor Justinian.
Legend has it that the Virgin Mary appeared to Justinian and asked him to found the convent.
After entering through a maze of passages, you finally reach the Chapel of the Virgin. The walls are covered with beautiful icons including one said to have been painted by St. Luke.
This chapel was very famous to Christians and at one point was the second Christian place of pilgrimage after Jerusalem, the crusaders called it "Notre Dame de Sardeneye".
Greetings and love from Syria
Nabeel
