Your pictures really make me appreciate that old artistic way of doing things.<br /><br />"Some of the best gargoyles this side of Notre Dame!" he told me. <br /><br />Hahah! That may be the best description of a church I have ever heard!<br /><br /><br />Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702620069148109246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-65925653110910657072018-10-02T09:25:44.918+01:002018-10-02T09:25:44.918+01:00Gorgeous display of Cyclamens John.

The architecture, woodwork, stonework et al is quite delightful to know about. Love the cyclamen too - great carpet of them ... churches that are well maintained as this one is always send peace my way. The windows maybe more modern - but as you say quite gorgeous to see - thanks so much - cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-81411465713730428402018-09-30T19:15:14.555+01:002018-09-30T19:15:14.555+01:00A wonderful post about this impressive church, Joh...A wonderful post about this impressive church, John.

So many wonderful details. I had never thought about why red was the color of the carpets and drapery in old churches. I wonder if it has a significance beyond pleasing to the eyes.
