It certainly was *begun* in 1602, from funds largely raised "by public subscription". You can image what *that* meant when the tax collectors hit the upland steads. IMG the building of the temple, the 'care' of the money raised for it, and who it would be eventually dedicated to, were all ongoing Alda Churi political scandals/plot threads right up to the Battle of Sword Hill, where the implements for its dedication were plundered from the Lunar baggage train.

Or just sitting at home growing
tenser with the times,
Or like that guy in "The Seventh Seal"
watching the newly dead walk across the hills, Or wearing this leather jacket shivering with a friend While the eye of god blazes down on us like the sun. - Bruce Cockburn.
