Thanks for keeping this thread alive in my absence.

Heian Shrine in Kyoto:

 

[Booko]

Here's the Baha'i House of Worship in Wilmette, Illinois (just north of Chicago). The husband and I got married here almost 26 years ago:

I like May/June to visit the best, as the rose gardens are in full bloom around then.

Here's a shot of the interior ceiling with the Greatest Name at the center:

If it looks like the building is made of concrete lace, it's because...it kinda is.

And here's the mandir in ATL, not far from where I live:

This site has an embedded slide show of exterior and interior as well.

It's lit up really beautifully at night too.

Our Lady of Guadalupe Trappist Monastery in Oregon that I visit on a regular bases. I love this place. I'm blessed in that I live only 45 min. away.

Here's a shot of the interior ceiling with the Greatest Name at the center:

Baha'is believe the Greatest Name is Bahaa'?

Not only the outside of Hallgrímskirkja is ... imposing. The organ is also crazy. It's the craziest organ I've ever seen, although admittedly I haven't seen many organs in my life.

Baha'is believe the Greatest Name is Bahaa'?

No.

(As it says in the temple dome <for those who can read Arabic>), the Greatest Name is "Ya Baha'u'l-Abha," which means "O Thou Glory of Glories" or "O Thou Glory of the All-glorious."

Peace,
