The tragic fire that engulfed Notre Dame de Paris in April 2019 echoed through our hearts and those of countless others, leaving an indelible mark of sorrow. The void created by the loss of this cherished icon of faith and culture served as a poignant reminder of the timeless influence that religious architecture wields in uplifting the human spirit.
In the wake of this heartrending incident, a seed of inspiration was sown within me. This seed blossomed into a curated compilation of images, a tapestry woven from the rich threads of religious architecture spanning the globe. As fervent voyagers, our fortunate journeys have allowed us to traverse borders and bear witness to the awe-inspiring manifestations of spiritual landmarks. These images, some tracing back to as early as 1977 when Sheila embarked on a solo odyssey through the heartlands of the Middle East to Nepal, encapsulate our shared escapades over the expanse of four decades. A handful required meticulous restoration, as they emerged from the vaults of faded prints, whispering stories of times gone by.
With open arms, I extend an invitation to you—a summons to embark on this visual odyssey across epochs. Come, marvel at the majesty and elegance of the world's profound faiths, manifested in these architectural wonders.
