particularly the music. This piece requires perfect vocalism, a wide range voice, skill at sculpting long curving phrases, and steady technical control. Many sopranos have recorded this aria, including Maria Calla and Anna Netrebko. It is a prayer to the Druid goddess of the moon, and the literal translation of " Casta Diva" means " Chaste Goddess". What makes "Casta Diva" so memorable is the light and lifting accompanying orchestration contradicting with the long melodies and powerful yet…

His father was unnamed in the beginning, and because of that, he spent his childhood getting mocked and bullied. He is also brought to Vortigern because Vortigern believes that the blood of a child without a father can help support his castle.

To be religious is to be spiritual. A sacred space is designated by the people as a holy place or even a burial ground. These places have some similarities and some differences. In this essay I will describe each location, similarities and differences each one has. Despite any religion or deity each place signifies a specific time in history where God was reverenced. In 100 B.C., the pyramid of the sun was created in Teotihucan, Mexico. Teotihucan means “place where the Gods where born.” The…

In fact, the Celts’ religious belief was of Animism, the belief that everything has a spiritual essence.

But, the Stonehenge at the Salisbury Plains in Britain may be the very location…
