 “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit will reap eternal life." Galatians 6:7-8 Naj vas ne zavede: Bog ne more bitiposmehovali.Človek žanje, kar je svinje.Kdor svinje, da si svojo grešno naravo, od te narave bodo uživaliuničenje, tisti, ki svinje, da si Duha bo žel večno življenje"Galačanom 6:7-8. No se engañen: de Dios nadie se burla. Un hombrecosecha lo que siembra. El que siembra para agradar a su naturaleza pecaminosa, de esa misma naturaleza cosechará destrucción; mas el que siembra para agradar al Espíritu segará vida eterna "Gálatas 6:7-8. Msidanganyike, Mungu hawezi kudhihakiwa. Mtuhuvuna kile akipanda. Moja apandaye kwa tafadhaliasili yake ya dhambi, kutoka asili kwamba atavunauharibifu; moja apandaye kwa Roho atavuna tafadhaliuzima wa milele "Wagalatia 6:7-8.

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. James 1:2-3  Se det som ren glädje, mina bröder, när du möter prövningar av olika slag, eftersom du vet att testning av din tro utvecklar uthållighet. James 1:2-3 Eğer inanç test azim geliştirir biliyorum çünkü birçoktürde denemeler karşı karşıya zaman saf sevinç,kardeşlerim, düşünün. James 1:2-3 Вважайте, що це чистої радістю приймайте, браття мої, коли впадаєте в усілякі випробовування,знаючи, що досвідчення вашої віри дає терпеливість. Джеймс 1:2-3

...above: not sure what this specifically represents, but it's something historical in Anatolia.. **

above: replica of the famous Trojan Horse

"The Trojan Horse is a tale from the Trojan War about the subterfuge that the Greeks used to enter the city of Troy and end the conflict. In the canonical version, after a fruitless 10-year siege, the Greeks constructed a huge wooden horse, and hid a select force of men inside. The Greeks pretended to sail away, and the Trojans pulled the horse into their city as a victory trophy. That night the Greek force crept out of the horse and opened the gates for the rest of the Greek army, which had sailed back under cover of night. The Greeks entered and destroyed the city of Troy, decisively ending the war.The main ancient source for the story is the Aeneid of Virgil, a Latin epic poem from the time of Augustus..."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_horse

above: they also had a main stage for music and at this particular moment there were various community leaders on stage (including various congressman) speaking a few words

"Anatolia (from Greek Ἀνατολή, Anatolḗ — "east" or "(sun)rise"), also known as Asia Minor (from Greek: Μικρὰ Ἀσία Mīkrá Asía "small Asia"; in modern Turkish: Anadolu), Asian Turkey, Anatolian peninsula, Anatolian plateau, and Turkey, denotes the westernmost protrusion of Asia, comprising the majority of the Republic of Turkey.^[1] The region is bounded by the Black Sea to the north, the Mediterranean Sea to the south and the Aegean Sea to the west. The Sea of Marmara forms a connection between the Black and Aegean Seas through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits, and separates Anatolia from Thrace on the European mainland. Traditionally, Anatolia is considered to extend in the east to a line between the Gulf of İskenderun and the Black Sea, approximately corresponding to the western two-thirds of the Asian part of Turkey. However, since Anatolia is now often considered to be synonymous with Asian Turkey, its eastern and southeastern borders are widely taken to be the Turkish borders with the neighboring countries, which are Georgia, Armenia, Iran, Iraq and Syria, in clockwise direction.
Anatolia has been inhabited by many peoples throughout history, such as the Hattians, Hurrians, Hittites, Luwians, Phrygians, Lydians, Persians, Greeks, Assyrians, Mitanni, Scythians, Cimmerians, Urartians, Carians, Commagene, Cilicians, Arameans, Kaskians, Mushki, Palaic, Corduene, Armenians, Romans, Colchians, Iberians, Georgians, Kurds, Laz, Zazas, Hamshenis, Sephardi Jews, Crimean Tatars, Karachays, Roma people, Circassians, Azerbaijanis, Seljuk Turks, Ottoman Turks and today predominantly modern Turkish people. Each culture left behind unique artifacts, still being uncovered by archaeologists..."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatolia

“For there is one God and one mediator between God and men,the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men -- the testimony given in its proper time.” 1 Timothy 2:5-6

MORE from "ANATOLIAN" AT OC FAIRGROUNDS

SO I can't recall all the names and locations they show at the Anatolia festival...but below is one of the castles...and they actually had persons dressed up as a king & queen et al  posing for pictures..

...and as you enter the fairgrounds they have various other persons dressed up according to the various historical elements they are replicating..

...everything is life-size...so you might never know these are props rather than the real thing based on the pics alone...if you weren't told or had a very discerning eye..

...albeit depending on the angle some pics are more revealing than others

“This is love: not that we loved God but that he loved us & sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins."Bu aşk: değil Tanrı'nın sevdiği ama o bizi sevdi ve bizim günahlarımız için bir kefaret kurban olarak Oğlunu gönderdi."” 1 John 4:101
