‼️On May 8th, we will launch a four-day architectural quiz game on our website! ‼️
https://ars-sacra.hu/kviz.php
Each set of questions can be answered in one day! Even four correct answers will receive a reward!
We are asking about forty church architects who have already participated in the Open Church Day!
“…architectura mater artium…” (architecture is the mother of the arts), and church architecture in particular. They were created to depict the world, and at the same time they are very powerful, cosmic signs between earth and sky.
