You’ll see many people, dressed in their Sunday best, walking to church today. On the winding road that takes you up to Kerevat, you will find this simple church - St Michael’s Catholic Church, Nanuk. My old Sunday School teacher (she was probably only 42 at the time) used to tell us that a church was the people not the building; so maybe these parishioners aren’t missing out on as much as first appears.
I admire the simple things in life, if I was to go to a church it would be one like this.
ReplyDeleteChurches are different. I like the difference. This one is special and I would like it too.
ReplyDeletewow Jules....what an interesting church! I can see why you posted this! and the one I posted I thought is pretty stark...not like the older, traditional churches....a matter of perspective isn't it?
ReplyDeleteSo true; it's the people in one's life....
ReplyDeleteIt would be validating, humbling and quietly reverently distracting to have the chance to join the the local parishoners.
It really stops me in my tracks to contemplate what I have just said.
We certainly have moved away from simple values.
I would definitely attend a church service like that and feel closer to some thing that I have lost in this hyperbolic world.
This cemetery looks very old. Nice capture.
ReplyDeleteHow stunning in its simplicity
ReplyDeleteThanks all
ReplyDeletem benaut - that was very deep but very true!!!!
