Asian nature refers to the diverse, profound, and often intertwined relationship between the environment and human life, heavily influenced by philosophies like Daoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. It views nature as a “living” entity, characterized by the balance of yin and yang, the flow of qi (energy), and the concept of “as it is” or zìrán in Chinese

Nature is seen as an extension of human life rather than something to be conquered, focusing on harmony and coexistence.Landscape painting (Sansuhwa) in East Asia represents this connection by depicting mountains and water as living, spiritual landscapes rather than just scenery.

Here is a small sample of the most popular and well recognized Mediterranean cuisine which is the Greek Mediterranean cuisine

Popular local foods include: moussaka, souvlaki, fresh seafood, and horiatiki (Greek salad) and Greek Yogurt.

Greek Yogurt: Timeless & very nutritional

Made of fresh milk curdled and then fermented by means of bacteria, yogurt has always been one of the finest products of the Greek farming tradition since the ancient times. Thick, creamy and super tasty, the Greek yogurt is made of pure sheep’s milk in small dairy units. In larger ones, they usually make yogurt with fresh cow’s milk, be it skimmed or semi-skimmed. They also add ingredients favoring health and growth for kids, or make it with strained cow’s milk (with the fat included ranging from 0%-10%) and milk cream, or even pair it with fruits and cereals as a desert to boost its nutritional capacity.

Over the past few years the Greek strained yogurt has conquered the world, marking a startling increase in sales worldwide.

Olive Oil

Greece is the world’s third largest producer of olive oil and ranks first in exports of virgin olive oil, which is the top-ranked olive oil classification category in the world. Although olive trees grow all over Greece the largest producers of olive oil are the region of Peloponnese as well as Lesvos and Crete Islands. The benefits of olive oil were known since antiquity. Homer referred to olive oil as liquid gold and Hippocrates noted its healing factors. Studies have shown that olive oil is the healthiest product among vegetable oils. It is loaded with antioxidants and protects from various diseases; making it essential for a balanced diet!

Honey

Certainly honey was the first – and for quite a while – the only sweetener Greeks had in their diet. While its importance dates back to ancient time, even nowadays, it remains the most prestigious sweetener. Honey’s nutritious values, such as minerals, vitamins, natural sugars, antioxidants etc., benefit our health and taste buds every single time we taste it!

Teas and Infusions with Herbs

A large variety of herbs grow in Greece. They are considered by locals as a natural remedy and have been used, since antiquity, mainly as pain-killers. Among the most renowned are the Greek Mountain Tea (sideritis clandestina) for its digestive, warming, tonifying and antioxidant effects as well as the Dittany (dictamon in Greek) for its spasmolytic, tonifying and anti-diabetic impact.

St Savva in Belgrade presented by MadeinMycountry

The Church of Saint Sava Храм Светог Саве, Hram Svetog Save, ”The Temple of Saint Sava” is a Serbian Orthodox church in Belgrade. It is the fourth largest Eastern Orthodox church in the world and one of the largest churches in the world by gross volume.

The church is dedicated to Saint Sava, the first Serbian archbishop and the nation’s patron saint. It was symbolically built on the site where his relics are believed to have been burned on a pyre by the Ottoman Muslims in 1594, following a Serb uprising.

Construction of the church began in 1935 and was completed only in 2004, when the exterior was finished, and in 2020, when work on the interior was completed.

St Savva presented by MadeinMycountry: The largest independent, ad-free, uncompromising unique network of its kind In he world !!

Inspired by the Hagia Sophia, in Constantinopolis of the Christian Byzantine empire,the Church of Saint Sava is one of Belgrade’s most recognizable landmarks and a major tourist attraction.

The church stands on the western promontory of the Vračar plateau, at an elevation of 134 m above sea level. The plateau is largely flat, except for the mound topped by the statue of Karađorđe. The base of the church is situated 18 m above Belgrade’s traditional geographic center, Terazije.

It is also 10 m higher than Tašmajdan Park, where the Church of Saint Mark, the second-largest church in Belgrade, is located. Rising 63 m above the confluence of the Sava and Danube, the church serves as a prominent natural viewpoint and one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks.

In 2021, the Vračar plateau was declared a protected heritage site as the “Saint Sava Plateau”. The official rationale cited the “symbolic, memorial, cultural-historical, architectural-urbanistic, and artistic values of the locality”, which commemorates two important events in Serbian history: the burning of Saint Sava’s relics in 1594 and the siege of Belgrade in 1806.

The church is a centrally planned edifice in the form of a Greek cross, measuring 91 m from east to west and 81 m from north to south.

The dome of the Church of Saint Sava is double-shelled dome at 27 m high, reaching an external height of 68.5 m and an internal height of 64.8 m, while the main gold-plated Serbian cross is an additional 10 m high and 5 m wide, bringing the total height of the Church of Saint Sava to 78.3 m.

The dome is the largest of any Eastern Orthodox church, with an inner diameter of 30.5 m and an outer diameter of 35.1 m. Among churches of other Christian denominations, only the domes of 5 other churches have larger inner diameters. The dome of Saint Sava is the fourth-tallest dome of Eastern Orthodox Christianity,

The façade, covering an area of 12,000 m² was primarily executed in polished white Volakas marble from Greece, with approximately 3,000 tonnes of stone used in its construction. The cornices are made of red Balmoral granite from Finland and cover 120 m² on the dome and semi-domes.

The interior has a surface area of 3,650 m² on the ground floor, with three galleries covering 1,500 m² on the first level and a 120 m² gallery on the second level. The church can accommodate up to 7,000 faithful on the ground floor.

The naos (temple in Greek), or main worship space, measures 46 m by 46 m, while the square of the central space beneath the dome is 39.7 m wide and occupies 1,578 m² The church has narthexes on three sides, two of which are 9 m deep and 31.7 m wide, with small chapels located within the northern and southern narthexes.

Galleries supported by arcades are situated above the narthexes and beneath three of the four semi-domes (the semi-dome above the altar does not contain a gallery), while the western gallery serves as the church choir. The basement, with a total surface area of 1,800 m², contains a crypt, including the Crypt Church of Saint Lazar the Hieromartyr.

The total area of the mosaics covering the interior of the church amounts about 15,000 m²constituting the largest mosaic surface across the Christendom. The mosaics, containing around 5 million tesseras and designed by Russian iconographer and sculptor Nikolay Mukhin, follow the classical Palaeologan-era tradition of gold mosaics.

The main “iconostasion” (Greek εικονοστασιον: the carved wood or marble partition that separates the main church from the Holy Altar and bears the large icons). is constructed from iron trusses onto which slabs of Carrara marble are installed. The entire structure of the approximately 20 metre-wide iconostasion weighs 100 tonnes. It is decorated with a row of six mosaic icons and contains three doors, while episcopal seats are positioned on both sides of the iconostasion.

The heraldic symbols of the Nemanjić dynasty are a dominant motif, while floral ornamentation and anthropomorphic figures are inspired by the rich sculptural tradition of the Morava style. The capitals are made of Carrara marble, while the columns are made of green Baveno marble.

The wheel chandelier, one of the largest and heaviest in the world, is the church’s main circular lighting fixture, cast in bronze with a diameter of 20 m.

The church has 49 bells, four of which are free-swinging and located in the southwestern tower. The remaining 45 are part of a carillon, the only one in the Balkans, which regularly performs the Hymn of Saint Sava.

The Giza plateau

Giza

The pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx are among the most popular tourist destinations in the world, and indeed already were even in Roman times.

Each of these spectacular structures served as the final resting place of a king of the 4th Dynasty (c.2613–2494 BC). The Great Pyramid of Giza was built for king Khufu (c.2589–2566 BC), and the other two for Khafre and Menkaure, his son and grandson. Khufu’s pyramid is both the oldest and largest of the three, and the first building to exceed it in height would not be built for another 3,800 years!

Although the three pyramids dominate the plateau, they are in fact surrounded by many other monuments. Every king’s pyramid was just one element albeit the most important of a larger complex that included smaller, subsidiary, queens’ pyramids; an additional one that acted as a second, symbolic, tomb for the king, called a satellite pyramid; mastaba tombs for nobility and other family members; burials of actual and/or symbolic boats; and a pair of temples linked by a richly decorated causeway. One of these temples, called the valley temple, led into the pyramid complex, and was located on or near a body of water where boats could dock.

The other, the funerary (or upper) temple, stood near the base of the pyramid. Priests maintained the mortuary cult of the deceased king in these temples, where his divine aspect was worshiped, and where rich and diverse offerings were presented to his soul so he could have a peaceful and luxurious afterlife.
