Shrine Auditorium
The Shrine Auditorium is a landmark large-event venue in Los Angeles, California. It is also the headquarters of the Al Malaikah Temple, a division of the Shriners. It was designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument (No. 139) in 1975.
History
Opened in 1926, the current Shrine Auditorium replaced an earlier 1906 Al Malaikah Temple which had been destroyed by a fire on January 11, 1920. The fire gutted the original building in just 30 minutes, and nearly killed six firefighters in the process. The new auditorium was designed in the Moorish Revival style by San Francisco-based theater architect G. Albert Lansburgh, with local architects John C. Austin and A. M. Edelman associated. When built, the auditorium could hold 1,200 people on stage and seat an audience of 6,442. An engineer who consulted on the project said that the steel truss supporting the balcony was the largest ever constructed.
In 2002, the auditorium underwent a $15 million renovation that upgraded the stage with state-of-the-art lighting and rigging systems, and included new roofing and air conditioning for both the Auditorium and Expo Center, modernized concession stands, additional restrooms, repainting of the Expo Center, and a new performance plaza and parking garage. The entire complex follows a Moroccan architectural motif.
The Shrine (Stargate Atlantis)
"The Shrine" is the 86th of the science fiction television series Stargate Atlantis and is the sixth episode in its fifth season. The episode is also the 300th produced episode in the overall Stargate franchise. The episode first aired on August 22, 2008 on the Sci Fi Channel in the United States, and subsequently aired on October 23 on Sky1 in the United Kingdom. The episode was nominated for a Nebula Award, and a further four Leo Awards.
The episode focuses on Dr. Rodney McKay, who has been infected with a disease known as "Second Childhood", which is considered the Pegasus equivalent of fast on-set Alzheimer's disease, where he quickly reverts to a childlike state. The only way for the team to save him is to send him to a shrine on the planet of Talus, which has since turned into a Wraith outpost.

The Shrine
by: ToranagaThe shrine, are you waiting for a message
Disguised to form another image
In fear or in faith, pray for your salvation
Born to a time that's heading for damnation
A symbol, a sign, a shrine that you can worship
They committed a crime, you�ll remember for all time
Don't forgive, don't forget, the time has come for
punishment
In life and in death, the memory will always be
The cycle of the cross will return
To punish mankind once again
Remember for all eternity
Beware the cross you see
A man, a king, followed by the masses
Afraid of him, they commit the greatest sin
For the good for the bad, play the part in history
He must have been mad with the power that he had
The cycle of the cross will return
To punish mankind once again
Remember for all eternity
Beware the cross you see
The cycle of the cross will return
Hail the king, to punish mankind once again
Death to him, the cycle of the cross will return
Hail the king, to punish mankind once again
Hang him high, leave him to die
His revenge will never end
You will pay for your betrayal
Count the loss cursed by the cross
You will fear the sign
Plagued throughout all time
Fear the reign it will return
Change its form to be reborn
In disguise do you recognise
You command, there�s blood on your hands
You will fear the sign
Plagued throughout all time
Hang him high, leave him to die
His revenge will never end
You will pay for your betrayal
Count the loss cursed by the cross
Fear the reign it will return
Change its form to be reborn
In disguise do you recognise
You command, there's blood on your hands
The shrine, are you waiting for the message
Disguised to form another image
In fear or in faith, pray for your salvation
Born to a time that's heading for damnation
The plague, the cross, painted on the door
A mass grave cursed forever more
Humane or insane, they wait with bated breath
You'll live to regret the symbol of death
The cycle of the cross will return
To punish mankind once again
Remember for all eternity
Beware the cross you see
Hail the king, death to him
Hail the king, death to him
Hail the king, death to him
