So, you went on a five hour pilgrimage to see this ancient temple, @slowwalker. No wonder you were tired!

This ancient site is nestled in the hills and I can see why it was known as a place of exile.

The temple was built by a military family as a public service. Interestingly, the Romans referred to this type of sacred duty as 'liturgia' a Latin word from which we derive the modern word for liturgy - the order of a sacred service.

Worship sometimes involves more than prayer and meditation - sometimes it involves a practical work such as building a temple - sometimes, as in your case, it involves a sacred journey.

The smallest acts often hold profound significance, my friend.
