Statue of Lucifer - Holy Trinity Church Marylebone. Aberdeenshire, UK.







The Holy Trinity Church in Marylebone, Westminster, built specifically to celebrate the defeat of Napoleon, hasn't been used as a place of worship since the 30's, but that didn't stop artist Paul Fryer from making a religious statement by hanging this terrifying statue of Satan inside.


The piece, titled "Lucifer (Morningstar)" is a wax sculpture depicting the devil snared in a set of power lines. The statue is equal parts grotesque and beautiful, showing Lucifer as an oily, black creature with immense white wings (created from real feathers). Even creepier in the fact that it's lit via the church's stained glass windows, an ironic juxtaposition that won't be lost on many.

Graduating students from Hebron University in the West Bank




Some of the 1,117 Palestinian students who graduated from different colleges at Hebron University in the West Bank.

The late mayor of Hebron, Sheikh Mohammad Ali Al-Ja’bari, wished to establish an institution of higher learning to offset restrictions and obstacles created by the occupation by Israel. In 1971 the foundation was laid and forty-three students joined the 'Sharia' college from different parts of the Palestinian Territories. In 1983, the campus was attacked by Israeli settlers resulting in the deaths of 3 students and 50 students were injured. After the attack the University was closed by the Israeli Civil Administration for a period of time.

Eventually, the college became a university and now has an undergraduate enrolment of more than ten thousand students.
