A-Z Blogging Challenge 2024: God's Houses - C is for Candles, Crosses and Crucifixes

 Looking back through my travel photos I see that in many places there was, on our agendas, an Abbey, Cathedral, Chapel, Church, Convent, Monastery, Mosque, Pagoda, Synagogue, Temple or other place of worship. As we travel along the road I often take snaps of God's houses we pass by. These buildings range from ordinary to ostentatious. 

For the Blogging from A to Z April 2024 Blogging Challenge my theme is Gods' Houses. During April I invite you to join me for an online tour of Gods' Houses from my digital albums.

Our C words are Candles which are used in a number of holy buildings and Crosses and Crucifixes which are Christian symbols.

  4. I like candles in church and at home. The candles that were stuck in sand gave me an idea that I should do that with my candles at home to make sure I don't burn the house down.
