Talk:Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, Vilnius

Refs?

Let's "reference" it as much as possible ;) Iulius 16:54, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

It's hard because each statement usually has several sources ... :-( --Lysy^talk 18:25, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

reference only doubtful of them Iulius 18:27, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

What is doubtful ? I don't know. --Lysy^talk 18:46, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

i don't know either Iulius 09:29, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Hic Jacet Pecator

Iulius, why did you remove "Hic Jacet Pecator" with the comment "no such text" ? the text is even clearly visible in the photo if you magnify it. It's exactly where there stone is broken (supposedly due to a lightning). --Lysy^talk 08:43, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

i'm sorry if i'm blind Iulius 09:25, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

The photo is high resolution, try to enlarge it to full screen and then read the inscription just where the crack is in the upper part of the tablet, just above the word "PAC". I have really no problems reading it. --Lysy^talk 09:28, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

this should help M.K. 09:49, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Change of the name

I propose to change the name of the article slightly to "St. Peter and St. Paul's Church, Vilnius", to be closer to generally accepted conventions.Iulius 05:57, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Go ahead. --Lysy^talk 06:07, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

The Chapel of Polish Queens

There used to be the Chapel of Polish Queens to the left, near to the entrance. After Vilnius returned to Lithuania, it was changed into simply the Chapel of Queens. Does anyone know when and why was it renamed. Well, I can imagine why, but more details would be interesting. Was the inscription in the arch of the ceiling changed during some recent renovation or was it earlier ? --Lysy^talk 15:23, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

The founder's tablet

The founder's tombstone picture is interesting because while not of particular artistic value, it has a story to it (I'm sure you know it). Now, people will read a story and be able to see how the stone looks like. This seems more interesting than just another shot of the dome. If you'd like to see more pictures of interior details, I have a number of such shots, but they would overcrowd the article, and I think the diversity of images is what makes their illustration value and the whole article more interesting. --Lysy^talk 16:21, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

howewer this image is unfotogenic at all: little use of it tumbnailed. So it best to be edited or presented some other way. Iulius 17:20, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

You are right. It should be presented some other way, maybe as an external link ? --Lysy^talk 17:40, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Done. --Lysy^talk 09:03, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Michał Kazimierz Pac

My last edit concerning the funding of the construction of the church is of a copy-editing nature. Not so sure that there actually was a "victory" over the Russians in the 17th century war referred to. Ditto to the Lubomirski Rokosz being a contributing factor in Pac's benevolence. Any takers, or better yet references to the assertion? Dr. Dan (talk) 05:57, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

The Church of St. Peter and St. Paul is a Roman Catholic church located in the Antakalnis neighbourhood of Vilnius, Lithuania. Constructed between 1668 and 1701, it is the centerpiece of a former monastery complex of the Canons Regular of the Lateran. The church is considered a masterpiece of Baroque architecture in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. This picture shows the central nave of the church, looking south-westwards towards the entrance. The nave is dominated by plain white walls that contrast with opulent decorations elsewhere in the church. It is decorated with colorful depictions of the Stations of the Cross and evenly spaced sculptures of the Twelve Apostles, as well as a number of torture scenes placed within niches featuring martyrs from the persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire. The pulpit, designed in the Rococo style, can be seen on the right of the photograph, while the pipe organ is visible above the entrance in the background.
