#Portico

A portico is a parade of pillars assembled at a building's entrance to grant it solemnity and secretly whisper that special rituals are required. The vain columns satisfy their ego while stoically bearing the weight of the roof. They pretend to shield from rain and wind yet quietly monitor gatherings and judge every step on their marble carpet. Ultimately, it is merely a passageway and its sacredness is a figment of visitor imagination.
