Interesting image and information Annemarie.

Merci pour cette fabuleuse série !

Lovely old architecture. Nice to see you back. All the best, Joe

Very interesting.
According to our Michaelis Dictionary, the term Lar comes from the place in the house where the fireplace is lit; the fire; the stove, but it gained a sentimental connotation about the home of a person or family, the Christmas ball, homeland, the family or your home .
Yes, they lived here for a very long time.
And I am glad for it.

Un angolo di quotidianità così incredibilmente ben conservato e una composizione perfetta, Annemarie.

Fort intéressant cet autel dédié aux 'dieux lares', qui protégeaient les maisons antiques !

Sehr interessante Erläuterung und ein wirklich schönes Bild.

A wonderful picture and series Annemarie.

An ancestor oratorio! Remarkable!

Colors, decorative patterns, statues
Stunning details
Excellent framing, Annemarie

A stunning series that one should allow to work on you!

You are showing us very interesting details!

Fascinating. I like the variety of shapes and textures in this image...........and the understated colours (although they were probably very bright and cheerful once).

SUper ! C'est exactement comme chez les polynésiens. Les ancêtres devenaient des divinités protectrices des familles. Idem chez les hawaiiens , les maoris de Nouvelle Zélande, les Samoa et les Tonga. lorsque les prêtres catholiques et les protestants ont évangélisé le Pacifique, cela a officiellement disparu. Mais il reste des irréductibles qui prônent les anciennes religions polythéistes. A vent l'évangélisation, les ancêtres étaient enterrés sur une terre familiale, près d'un Marae. Pour pouvoir s'installer sur une des terres familiale., Il fallait réciter sa généalogie en remontant Jusqu'à l'ancêtre commun . Le gardien familiale de la tradition orale après réunion acceptait ou non la construction d'une habitation. Aucune erreur n'était tolérée.
Bonne soirée

Interesting information!

Very interesting Annemarie.

In Portugal they have been revered too and the word "LAR" means "home" in Portuguese. Its collective meaning is perhaps a result of the multiplicity of "Lares" (familiae) and also variety of domestic deities, which also encompassed the Penates and Vesta. The word "Lar" becomes synonymous with house from the last century of the Roman Republic

Very very interesting this Isabel

Amazing what has survived.

So interesting. Thank you for these wonderful photos and the informative description.

Hai catturato e reso splendidamente questo Larario, evidenziandone l'atmosfera raccolta, soffice, tra questi marmi che seppur scoloriti dal tempo, ancora conservano suggestive tracce tracce dell'antica bellezza.
Ciao Annemarie.
A presto.
Un carissimo saluto.

Sehr schöne Aufnahme. Die Laren sind mir aus der Historie der Etrusker bekannt.
