juvera Oct 23, 2009:
Kakas Emlékeztem rá, hogy nagyapám beszélt arról, hogy a református templomokon kakas szokott lenni. Magyar referenciát nem találtam rá, de angolt igen:
“When Protestantism arose, their fury of its leaders was oftentimes directed against the crosses which they regarded as a symbol of Popery, and they accordingly tore them down from the Catholic churches which they seized and devoted to their own worship--placing over them, instead, a weather-vane...
...even today the Reformed churches in Switzerland still have the Rooster on every steeple."

ball (ornament)

Mint lehetőség.

"They heard a rumor that the mob had removed the angel weather vane and the ball from the top of the temple. The rumor proved to be false, but the Saints continued to worry about the temple they loved so dearly."

Show a picture of the Salt Lake Temple. Point to the ball on top of the temple that the statue of angel Moroni stands upon.

agree juvera : De nem "ornament", hanem "symbol"! St Paul's Cathedral, London: The original ball and cross were erected by Andrew Niblett... They were replaced by a new ball and cross in 1821...

globe

Csak megerzes, hogy itt egy regies szelkakasrol van szo. Ezeket ma is gyartjak, a fobb reszei angolul mast, arrow, base, globe + some figure (could be anything, really). A torony itt inkabb cupola, nem tower.

At the tip of the cupola a globe, a rooster and a star stood up high.
Peer comment(s):

neutral juvera : A kupolának nem sok köze van hozzá, az építészeti stílus kérdése. Mint a neve is mondja, magyarul toronygomb. A kakas nem csoda, hogy régies, a református egyház kedvelte, a kereszttel szemben. Sőt, már a görögöknél és más kultúrákban is szimbólum volt.
