Dante Alighieri - with famous people, many children pretended to be Dante's offspring; however, it is likely that Jacopo, Pietro, and Antonia were truly his children. Antonia became a nun with the name of Sister Beatrice. Another man, Giovanni, claimed to be his son and was in exile with Dante, but some doubts were advanced about his claim. Education and poetry Not much is known about Dante's education, and it is presumed he studied at home. We know he studied Tuscan poetry, at a time when the Scuola poetica siciliana, a cultural group from Sicily, was becoming known in Tuscany. His interests brought him to discover Provençal minstrels and poets, and Latin culture (with an obvious particular devotion to Virgil). It should be underlined that during the "Secoli Bui" (Dark Ages), Italy had become.
Albert Schweitzer - lives and works in this world in a noble, elevated sense. He emphasized the necessity to thínk, not to just act on superficial suppositions, or to submissively follow other people's opinions. He was convinced that people who think and go to the bottom of things will eventually find the truth and with it the inner strength to love life. In his opinion respect for life, resulting from one's own conscious will to live, makes one live in service of other people and in fact every living creature, on each scale, large and small. Schweitzer was very much respected for putting his theory in practice himself. Most of his life Albert Schweitzer spent in Lambaréné in what is now Gabon, Africa. After his medical studies in 1913, he went there with his.

Temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - is quite the opposite, in fact. With great effort the church urges every soul to qualify and prepare for the temple experience." Thus, because temple ceremonies are highly symbolic and personal, the ceremonies are usually not discussed with members of other faiths. Nearly everything in the temple is symbolic, from the clothing worn (those who attend the temple dress in white, a symbol of purity), to the building and rooms, to the signs given and the ceremonies themselves. In addition to being a place to conduct sacred ceremonies, the temple is also considered to be a holy abode for God, where the temple attendee or 'patron' may seek God’s aid in understanding His will for that person at that time through personal revelation. Ezra Taft Benson, a former president of the.

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - in April 1838, the full name was stated as the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" to fully reflect the Church's identity" [1] (see Doctrine and Covenants 115:3-4). In 1851, when the Church was incorporated in the United States, the official name of the Church changed slightly, picking up the additional corporate first article "The" and the British hyphenation of "Latter-day", and became "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Church is also commonly referred to as the "LDS Church", and sometimes the "Mormon Church", although these designations can be confusing because groups outside the Church are sometimes also referred to as "Latter Day Saints" and "Mormons" and because there never was strictly speaking a "Mormon Church". The nickname "Mormon" arose soon after the publication of The.

Saint Peter - Saint Peter Saint Peter (died c. 67) was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. His original name was Simon, but he was given the nickname of Peter, which means rock or stone in Greek (Petros). Saint Paul generally called him Cephas or Kephas, which is the Aramaic equivalent of the nickname. Before becoming a disciple of Jesus, Simon (i.e., Peter) was a fisherman. The following account is according to the Gospel of Luke: Simon first met Jesus when Jesus got into his boat to use it to preach to a crowd that had gathered on the shore of the Lake of Gennesaret. After he was done preaching, Jesus asked Simon to take the boat out to deep water to catch.
