VATICAN REACTS TO ATTACKS ON NIGERIAN CHURCHES

By -

The Vatican last Monday voiced its pain and sense of horror at two attacks on churches in Nigeria claimed by Islamist group Boko Haram, saying it hoped the government could confront the crisis.

“We again express our pain and sense of horror at this regularity that now means that every Sunday places of worship are hit by a series of attacks,” Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said at a press conference.

The Vatican hopes that the authorities will be able to confront a situation that appears to be continuing without any improvement, he said

Sunday`s attack against three churches killed a dozen people and left a hundred wounded.

In an msn interview with the Vatican insider website, the archbishop of Abuja John Onaiyekan said the state was absent and condemned the daily Calvary faced by Nigerian Christians targeted by Boko Haram.
The authorities are not defending our faithful. Boko Haram says it wants to put in place sharia law but religion is only a pretext for economic and political interest, adding this was not a religious conflict.
Nigeria is our home. We will not flee, he added.

(NINA RICCI fall 2012 ) I don't know why but somehow I was always drawn to ballet. This type of grace, simplicity and elegance of movement can only be seen in this dance… That is why ballet is an inexhaustible inspiration for all types of art. Just remember the sculptures of famous Edgar Degas. After I saw the "Black Swan" movie, ballet got a completely new dimension to me, especially when it comes to costumes. Before I knew ballet costumes took over the runways. This is how designers envisioned wearable ballet costumes. Ne znam zašto, ali balet me je nekako oduvijek privlačio. Ova vrsta gracioznosti, jednostavnosti i elegancije pokreta može se vidjeti samo u ovom plesu. Upravo to je razlog zašto je balet neiscrpna inspiracija za sve vrste umjetnosti. Dovoljno je sjetiti se skulptura poznatog Edgar Degasa. Nakon što sam pogledao film "Black Swan", balet je dobio potpuno novu dimenziju za mene, pogotovo kad je riječ o kostimima. Nisam se niti okrenuo bale...
