What Makes The Manitoba Legislative Building Sacred?

By James Wolfe


The Manitoba Legislative Building, located in downtown Winnipeg with 30 acres land territory is truly one of the most significant structures at this point of time. It has been created by Frank Worthington Simon (1862-1933) and Henry Boddington and then examined by one of the best researchers from the University of Winnipeg. According to Frank Albo, the designs and measurements of the Manitoba Holy room were precisely the same as the details of the Solomon Temple in the Old Testament. Take a look at the following clues and answer the above question afterwards.

In 1914, there was an outbreak of the First World War in the location of the building, but fortunately, the staffs have been started to evacuate since 1913. This was the first tragedy that the building has been conquered. Though there was a shortage of materials and funds, the Manitobans still pursued to build and restore the beauty of the building. Luckily, improvements were seen after the end of the war, and ceremonies have been conducted by Sir James Aikins, the Lieutenant-Governor of Manitoba to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the province. The camaraderie of the Manitobans in maintaining the beauty of the building was one of the most significant reasons why it gained the highest recognition at this point of time.

The next significant symbol was the grand staircase, consisted of 39 steps made from brown-vein Carrara Marble. Georges Gardet of Paris was also the designer of each 2,268-kilogram bison. There were many speculations about the creation of these bison and how the architect designed them, but the Manitoban people considered it as their precious ancient symbol next to the Golden Boy,

Aside from the two magic bulls, guests would definitely love the grand staircase, with three flights and thirteen steps towards the Golden Boy, a room with a dome ceiling and tessellated marble border. Another symbol was a figure called as the Pool of the Black Star. It was considered as the symbol of Babylonian goddess Ishtar. Within the area of the Golden Boy, a Rotunda has been one of the most common areas designed for sacrifices. According to Frank's research, ancient Gods, led by Hermes received power via sacrifices of souls.

The Manitoba Legislative Symbols were not limited in the sacred rooms, but most of them were located on the roof and outside part of the building to represent how sacred the place was. The Pool of the Black Star, Holy Rooms, ancient God and Goddess figures, murals of Jesus Christ and sculptures are all designed to convey a message. Some interpreters opinionated that those symbols were related to fertility sex, love and even state matters. However, most of the people considered them as sacred things.
