<h3>Duomo Church of Milan is in Chinese terms: taking long time church. Good things take a long time, in Chinese Haoshi (good things) Duomo (take a long time). 好事多磨六百年. The Duomo Church took about 600 years to complete and now it is finally world famous because of the Winter Olympics of 2026! It has finally gained its center of the world reputation as it was intended to be back to the mediaeval times of 1300s.<br><br>Duomo church’s floor is entirely decorated by curved and carefully cut mosaic colored marbles that took a very long time to make for each square foot. It covers almost entire 12,000 square feet of the area that can host over 40,000 people, larger than most of the professional football stadiums.<br></h3> <h3>Duomo Church of Milan is the most ornate and beautifully decorated cathedral in the world built from mid 1350’s through 1965, taking almost 600 years to build and spanned over medieval times, Renaissance times until modern times to finish. It is also arguably the second largest church by size and volume that can host over 40,000 people at the same time.<br><br>Concerts are often held inside this church, feeling like the music resonating from sky above and echoes with divine interventions. If there are any opportunity, spend any money necessary to attend.</h3> <h3>https://youtube.com/shorts/y5C9qnEcE8M?is=_KK2W9IJRdCQIHI7<br><br>Some statues have horrible stories like the one who was carrying his own skin as a rob on his body as a punishment. You can see his muscles and some bones as exposed after his skin was taking off. So graphic that a little kid will not be able to sleep for many years after seeing it.</h3> <h3>Some are so murderous that people rise up to grab the victim and the murderer is throwing a knife right into his mouth. This scene reminds me of the cultural revolution that many were murdered through killing and murdering without legal procedures or a hearing. The IMIP case caused over 10,000 people to die and more crippled and paralyzed and even more murdered by the victims families.<br><br>About St. Bartholomew carrying his flayed skin:<br>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartholomew_the_Apostle</h3> <h3>What is really truly remarkable is the hundreds of or over several thousand of statutes standing on the tops of each of the several hundred spires pinpointing to the sky from a very skinny base. They made the immense huge church so light that it looks if it had features and is just about to fly away into the divine realm.</h3> <h3>It is the only church in the world that people are invited to walk on its roof and witness some astonishing feats that one cannot believe only after one landed on top of the roof.<br><br>The roof is entirely made of red colored 2 x 2 marble slates that can hold hundreds of people walking to it while looking down on the entire Milan. You feel that you are in a forest of spires and skinny towers and flowery buttresses and guardrails.</h3> <h3>The intention is to awe you that humans are impossible to make something this huge and thus decorative or intricate. Anyone who has never been here before will endure a faith transformation process after seeing the roof from the roof top.<br><br>It is simple miraculous and unbelievable. I have taken a cathedral tour in France, St Peter’s, Seville and cologne cathedral, but I have never seen anything so crazy.</h3> <h3>After seeing the Milan Duomo Church, you can say that you have seen the world’s miracles.</h3> <h3>Every cathedral has a sacred symbol or material from the saint Mary, St Paul or the Jesus Christ.</h3> <h3>Did you see the holy nail on top of the altar that has a red light on it? It is the holy nail that nailed the Jesus Chris on the crucification </h3> <h3>If you look at the Duomo Cathedral from afar, it looks like a very busy creature subliming into sky. If you climb to the top to watch around, you will see thousands of divine angels and biblical figures standing on each spire or every several feet apart on the wall flying around, making you feel dizzy and overwhelmed.</h3>
