The first church made with live trees

Making wooden cabins could be an obligatory activity in the childhood of any infant.Many are the little ones who have dedicated a large part of the afternoons and weekends to collect materials and build a shelter, without having to have a instruction book for this.To finish corroborating it, in this Lifestyle entry we talk about how a church with live trees was built, nothing more, nothing less! Do not miss it!

A church built from live trees

Barry Cox , decided to build a church with live trees, as expressed: “I left home through the back door and I thought: that place needs a church,” so Cox began building the building with trees in April 2011.The location was near Cambridge, in New Zealand, the same location where it I record the famous triology of "The Lord of the Rings."

To begin with, the walls were created with an Australian tea tree , thanks to its thick foliage and its color that is similar to that of the stone, I recreate the environment that the space required.The interior of the church was decorated by a lot of trees and flowers , like birches, roses and camellias.For about 4 years, Barry Coz ​​managed to make his dream come true and today he can boast a live church, which breathes and continues to grow, with capacity for more than 100 people.

Barry's main idea was to reserve the church for his own use , have a secluded and quiet place to meditate, but I can not resist the request of his nephew who asked permission to marry in the tree church.Then, other relatives, friends and partners outside they enjoyed this temple for a few minutes, so the artist decided to give in to the proposals and end up opening the church to the public .He has even created a website to present it.

And you? What do you think of this story? Would you create a house or any other building with trees? If you found it interesting, you can also read «The most terrifying churches in the world».

"Kiss not," the day they tried to ban kisses

Throughout history many things have been banned. Attempts have been made to veto freedoms that man has considered basic and for which he has fought hard to bring down those walls, those chains to personal integrity and freedom. Now, we could say without mistake that the "Kiss Not" movement started in 1911 in the city of Cincinati in the United States, is one of the most absurd and unsuccessful in history.The simple act of prohibiting something as natural as a kiss, is like someone who wants to put barriers to the wind or steal the smell of flowers.It is something basic in the human being, in the day to day, with our partners, with the children, with our friends and even with our pets, that something like that seems incredible to us.However, it really happened. We tried to ban. Which couple can avoid giving one or a hundred kisses throughout the day? What mother does not kiss her son?
