Oh The Places You'll Go!
In
some countries, it is the tradition to visit 7 churches during Holy Week. What is a church that you have or would like
to visit? Why or what was your
experience? How did it enhance your
faith? You can view this slideshow of unusual churches all over the world for inspiration. (Note: You can write about more than one of course!)
First that comes to mind is the chapel at PLTS. It is a copy of a French church and we called it, "the Chapel of the Inaccurate Construction". It was also put in backwards. I have seen lots of interesting churches- cave churches in Cappadocia, the Cathedral in San Francisco, St. Peter's and others. My first favorites are Nordland Lutheran in Rutland, ND. It is a little typical tin plated ceiling prairie church that is a monument to faith and perseverance. It's like a good tool, worn in from good use but always cleaned and put away. The second church is Santa Croce in Florence, Italy. It is not particularly famous among the great churches, but it is where Florentines want to be buried and where they go to connect with God. Marvelous devotional place. I'll link two pictures. I hope you see in them what I see.
