Iglesia de Santa Rita de Casia, abogada de lo imposible/Church of Santa Rita of Cascia, Advocate of the Impossible (Esp-Eng) by @kpoulout

I was so struck by the interior of that church that I couldn’t take my eyes off it. Whilst the exterior is modern, it has a distinctive style, and it reminded me of certain mausoleums. But then the church’s ceiling left me in awe. The design, the structure, the light streaming through the stained-glass windows, it’s marvellous and creates a real sense of peace.
I’m familiar with the story of Saint Rita, particularly the mysteries surrounding her death, things that are inexplicable. And one thing that caught my attention was that they still keep the bench where those women used to sit. It’s a beautiful place with an interesting history.

El espectro (The spectrum) [ES/EN] by @rinconpoetico7

I absolutely loved the story, because spirits aren’t always evil, there are many who warn us about things that are going to happen. In my case, it’s always been relatives who have passed away who come to warn me, and not necessarily about bad things, just something I’ll have to face.
But in your story, the ghost just wanted to help and saved their lives, he saved them from being trapped under the rubble. I love those unexpected endings and the way you use dialogue in your stories. Thank you very much, and thank you for engaging with the other members of the community.

A place where the pain of 1919 still lingers by @steemflow

Reading your post and looking at the photos, I could feel the pain, sadness and despair of everything that has happened in that place, as well as your own feelings as you walked through it. The park is beautiful; but as well as being a lovely place to stroll, with stunning buildings, there’s that deeply moving aspect, the memories and history, such as that wall so badly damaged by the British.
The monument is stunning and pays tribute to all those people; I was struck by the fact that so many threw themselves into that ravine to save their lives, what despair, really. Thank you for introducing us to this place, raising awareness of it and telling us its story.

Remembering the Fun We Had During The Manggahan Festival (Mango Festival) by @vvodjiu

Everything I’ve seen and read here is brilliant! Here in Venezuela, the mango is a real icon, we all say it saved us during our country's most critical moment, so I wonder why there isn't a festival to honor them 😅 Hey, thanks for sharing these beautiful, impressive memories for #TBT. You're right; Hive is the perfect place to share these kinds of experiences through images. We really appreciate it here when writing and photography come together to create an experience for the reader.

Hive Openmic Week 328_Faithful Promises||Promesas Fieles ENG/ESP by @ovey10

One nostalgic afternoon while listening to music, I realized that we have never explored the concept of the aura in Hive Open Mic—even though it is practically the first thing I perceive about everyone in this community through their videos. We rarely think about it, yet it defines so much of who we are; it serves as our calling card for those who know how to appreciate—or even see—it, since many people are actually able to see others' auras. Thanks for being here, my brother; it brings me joy to see you making music and to know that you are always synonymous with quality in this community 🙏

JUST LIKE THE ALCHEMIST OF COELHO; RETURN TO THE ORIGIN [ENG/ESP] by @psyshock

Your post is very inspiring; I feel like this has been a great time for you, and I’m really excited to see images of the work you’ve been doing—especially since it’s art-related. I hope you keep posting here on Hive and sharing a bit of everything with the community, as you’re a fascinating artist given the range of things you can do.
