Charing Cross

If you walk along Charing Cross Road from Tottenham Court Road you will come across an area called Trafalgar Square, which is a well-known public space and tourist attraction in Central London. The Square is situated in the city of Westminster and at its center is Nelson’s column, which is surrounded by four lion statues at its base. In the area there are a number of commemorative statues and sculptures within the Square. Just as you reach the square on the left is a church called St. Martin in the

everything is fleeting is emphasized to show the significance of the comitatus. Furthermore, the beauty of the relationship is shown by contrasting the shame that the Wanderer feels at the end of the poem to the honour and glory that is thrown upon the cross after it willingly suffers along with Christ. In all, the ideals of the comitatus during the Medieval Times are clearly advocated through the illustration of the physical intimacy, shame and honour involved in the two poems. To start off, the two

come before the actual manuscript. Parts of the poem were carved in a stone cross at some time after its construction early in the eighth century. This speech occurs in lines 94 to 120. Before this selected passage the poem is opened with the Dreamers visions of the Cross, also known as the Rood, which lays out the poems plot. In the poem the person that is telling the story is a dreamer who, while admiring, the cross notices

he knows it is for the benefit of all mankind. In the poem, the rood, or cross, is depicted as the individual telling the story of the crucifixion. The poet writes the story so it is understood that the cross is, like Jesus, a warrior. If the cross can tell a tale it is assumed that it would possess the ability to experience feelings. By explaining the cross’ experience in the way the poet does it is easy to see how the cross possesses warrior-like characteristics. I trembled when the man embraced

The Dream of the Rood is by an unknown, Anglo-Saxon, author. This ancient poem is about Jesus being crucified through the cross’ point of view. Although this poem is about Jesus’ death, it does not exactly match up with what the Bible has depicted in the Gospels of the New Testament. There is a culture clash between the Anglo-Saxon culture and beliefs and what the Bible thinks of Jesus during his crucifixion. In this poem the author expresses Christ as strong, heroic, and bold, but the Bible states

warrior: Then the young hero (who was God Almighty) Got ready, resolute and strong in heart. ...the warrior embraced [the cross]. Instead of simply using the word "Christ," the poet calls Jesus "the young hero" and "the warrior. The poet also presents a warrior-like image of Christ by portraying Jesus exuberantly preparing for combat rather than being lead passively to the cross. Where the Bible

written in the early middle ages. The poem describes Jesus Christ's death and burial in a way that is tastefully different from the original biblical accounts. The Dream of the Rood tells of the death of Jesus Christ from the vantage point of the cross, the cross that Christ was crucified on. The poems open up with the author describing the tree as an unwilling participant. “I was cut down at the wood's edge, taken from my stump. Strong foes seized me there, chopped me to the shape they wished to see

“They are nailed to the cross, they are nailed, the cross, oh how much he was willing to bear, with great anguish and loss, Jesus went to the cross and he carried my sins with him there.” You can believe that Jesus died and rose again, you might even believe that he was crucified and that he is coming again for his church, but if you don’t believe that you have to be crucified with him, then you have a serious problem. My brothers and sisters, for a Christian, taking up your cross and following God is

more commonly known as the Southern Cross, its name being Latin for cross. Although it was seen by the Ancient Greeks, it was known to be part of the constellation Centaurus. The stars that make up the cross are: Alpha Crucis, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon. Quite a few of the constellation’s brighter stars are also members of the Centaurus / Scorpios association. The reason I chose this constellation is because of its significance to my country. The Southern Cross is on the national flag, and I have

I've chosen to speak about the constellation Crux, commonly known as the Southern Cross, since this was the first constellation I learned to recognise in the night sky. Despite being the smallest official constellation, it is one of the easiest to recognize and, on the Southern hemisphere, it's used to locate the South Celestial Pole. The Crux constellation is formed by 4 main stars: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta Crucis. It is said that long ago, in a Mocovi hut, lived chief Nemec. He was a brave
