Top 10 Amazing Churches Of the World!
How these top 10 amazing churches been built? Well, mankind was always fascinated and inspired to build religious places/churches like never before just to fascinate others and show the divinity. These amazing churches are carved magnificently to show how glorious home of God can be. Although, there are thousand of churches built and there must be few churches which are still undiscovered but here is my pick of top 10 amazing churches of world.
1. Hallgrímskirkja: Built in 17th century, Hallgrímskirkja is the tallest building in Iceland. The church’s unusual design is supposed to represent volcanic columns rising between the steeple tower.
2. St. Peter’s Basilica: St. Peter’s Basilica is the largest religious building in the world and is the center of the Christianity. This massive church covers an area of 5.7 acres (2.3 ha) and has a capacity of over 60,000 people. It is said that Michelangelo designed the dome, Gian Lorenzo Bernini designed the main square, and Donato Bramante was the first architect of the church. No wonder th architecture of St. Peter’s Basilica is to amaze every eye.
3. St. Basil’s Cathedral: St. Basil’s Cathedral is a Russian Orthodox church which sports a series of colorful bulbous domes that taper to a point, aptly named onion domes, that are part of Moscow’s Kremlin skyline. It is said the Ivan blinded the architect who built the church so he would not be able to design something as beautiful afterward.
4. Las Lajas Cathedral: Las Lajas Cathedral was built in 1916 on the same site where teh virgin Mary appeared. Sorrounded by mountains Las Lajas Cathedral holds a natural beauty and worthy of a fairy tale.
5. Hagia Sophia: Hagia Sophia began its life as an early Christian church, then rebuilt as the seat of the Eastern Orthodox Church in Constantinople, then a mosque when the city fell to the Turks in 1453 before it finally became a museum. Hagia Sophia is one of the greatest surviving examples of Byzantine architecture, with a large central dome and interior intricately decorated with mosaics, marbles, and stone inlays. The dome, often referred to as the vault of heaven, was a new architectural feature at the time, necessitating the invention of a new pillar support system.
6. Sagrada Familia: La Sagrada Familia, or Catalan for “The Holy Family”, is a yet-to-be-finished Roman Catholic basilica in Barcelona, Spain. The church’s design is rich with Christian symbolism, with facades featuring intricate details describing the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Perhaps the most awe inspiring is the eighteen towers representing the 12 Apostles, 4 Evangelists, the Virgin Mary, and a central tower – the tallest of them all – representing Christ.
7. Notre Dame: Notre Dame de Paris or simply Notre Dame is one of the first European cathedrals to be built on a truly monumental scale. It took more than 200 years to complete. Notre Dame main features are its Rose Windows (largest windows in the world) circular stained glass windows that depict scenes from the bible. At the end of the 18th century, during the French Revolution, the church was ransacked, its treasures plundered and many of the statues of saints were beheaded.
8. Jubilee Church: Built in 1996 Jubilee Church in Tor Tre Teste, Rome is a modern curved architecture. The curved walls not only serve the engineering purpose of minimizing thermal peak loads in the interior space, they are also a religious metaphor.
9. The Crystal Cathedral: The Crystal Cathedral is entirely made up by glass with a web-like framework of steel, its not made up of crystal. Nevertheless, the Christian mega church in the city of Orange Garden Grove, California, is one amazing church. The Crystal Cathedral also has one of the largest pipe organs in the world, called the Hazel Wright Pipe Organ, with 5 consoles controlling 270 ranks, 31 digital ranks, and more than 16,000 pipes!
Notre Dame du Haut: If there was a church modeled after Elvis’ hair, Le Corbusier’s Notre Dame du Haut is it. The pilgrimate chapel is located in Ronchamp, France. Indeed, it is more famous than the little town that most people simply call the structure itself Ronchamp. The cleverness of unusual design of the billowing concrete roof is apparent when it rains: water pours off the slanted roof onto a fountain, creating a dramatic waterfall.

The world's fastest man on four legs!
World’s Fastest Man On Four Legs---A Tokyo man, Kenichi Ito, is the worlds fastest man on four legs. He is 29 years old and has perfected a running style based on the movements of African monkeys. Kenichi has earned an entry in the Guinness Book of Records, being able to run 100meters in just under 20 seconds.
He’s spent the last decade perfecting the ability to move around like a monkey.
For eight and a half years, Ito has walked around his local town on his hands and feet, wearing gloves on his hands and cleated shoes on his feet. He even turned regular household chores into monkey challenges by compleating them on all fours.
Kenichi has honed his skills to six different types of movements. He’s gotten so good at this that when he once went into the woods to train, a hunter shot at him because he thought Ito was a wild boar.
Kenichi says that within 500 years time, four-legged running will be an olympic sport and all athletes will be competing on all fours.
Kenichi love for being a human monkey does come at a price, as he almost got shot once.
When he saw a monkey run for the first time, he was sure he’d found his calling, and from that day onwards practiced how to run ‘monkey style’ on four legs.

This done so because candies be distinquished from one to the other. Each Jaffa is sponsored by a person and also with prizes for the one who wins and the money collected will be denoted to charity.
This event follows a tradition which begun in 1998 where 2,000 tennis balls were rolled down Baldwin street in a sponsored event that includes raising money for Habitat for Humanity.

Shortly before the candies finish their race, they come into a special funnel and the first five chocolate balls pass through the funnel are the actual winners
