certain places, and locations, have the name Victorian in it, but i wondered why, and what it means.
i spent today researching this 'topic', and found that it was an era in which queen Victoria had ruled, and was characterized by rapid change, with development in literature, science....etc.
this was also an age where work ethics, chivalry, family values, and faith were, kept to a significant importance, nowadays, that is not so.
i also wondered why Victorian was also found in places of religion. what i found was that this time period, was a period in which people questioned themselves, their own believes, to the complexity of the world. through the poems from the Victorian era of both Robert and Elizabeth Barrett browning, and Matthew Arnold, the recurrent themes of shifting religious ideas, language usage, and the economy are clear.
that answers my question as to why religious places are labeled that, although there are different names for each type of place of religion, they service based apon how that name was valued, such as Luther.
the many religious places are based apon who they were named after, which was martin Luther, and he believed that no amount of money spent towards a pardoning, can rid of sin.
so as to Victorian it must mean that instead of the use of sin, other activities can be focused on to develope oneself, and to develop their connection with god.
what is victorian? it is the growth of a period
