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».

When did pink become feminine?

Whether it's the deep shades of magenta or the light ones of the carnation, the color pink is, for better or worse, associated with femininity. This was not always the case .In fact , once it was the opposite. Pink for boys In 1918, an article in a commercial publication called "Earnshaw Children's Department", stated that, taking into account that this color derives from red, «Pink is for children, and blue is for girls. The reason is that pink, being a stronger and more determined color, is more suitable for the child , while blue, which is more delicate and exquisite, is more beautiful for the girl «. A 1927 survey by Time magazine showed that the large stores were totally lost when recommending colors in gender function .Some preferred pink for boys and blue for girls, while others said the opposite."It seems, then, that there is no unanimous opinion in the United States on pink and blue" concluded the article.
