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

ReplyDeleteThanks again Jennifer. I appreciate your support.
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the photo of the candles and stained glass.
ReplyDeleteThat Church was un a beautiful town called Sunlight beause it was built for the workers by the Lever Family , makers of Sunlight Soap.
